Don't know why but I read that as - so is a perfect opportunity to ride with simple minded people.

Must be talking about me as I pointed out to you in that messages

I've got gp2 on my straight bars mate , they seem to have sorted out my wrist and numb hand problems , depends how you angle them they force you to put more weight on the seat than on the bars (I know the 2s are no good for loops but can only speak from experience)

Sorry I'm late , still at 93 kg

Or if you want a few more miles drive down to wolves ,and ride down to longmynd with myself ,it's mainly towpath sustrans paths and a bit of bridleway ,but please be warned my social pace is a bit slower a than Scott's and mike's

Ahhhh just bought the boy a kanga harness and dry bag ,after faffing with it I much prefer my ortlieb

Scott I can get a pass out on sat and possibly Sunday night to if you want to swap it to the Saturday

Just received some permavent from Wales with a nice surprise inside, and a cumulus 250 Offa backcountry Scot,very happy man today and it's Friday the end of a very long week

I know we are a strange bunch but who wants to do all the gr's and no pubs please name and shame these athletic people

I've started my route reg ,but your offer seems very appealing low mileage and talking ,sh@£e ,put me down ,but if you get too many people not a problem I will use the route I've already started ,I too was looking at around 100-120 over the course of the weekend, too many miles means too few pubs

Got one for the young fella for the Jenn ride had it outside yesterday mate and it seems waterproof ( no one was inside I think that would be child abuse)

Maybe (most likely) overkill; however, I have an MSR Guardian Screws directly onto Nalgene 1 litre bottle, or a Camelbak Podium bottle Will purify 1 litre of water in about 50 seconds. Not small though Will be going with me on WRT I have a katadyn Vario very much the same as above ,not light but fi...

Nice write up mate , maybe a bit of inspiration for me to get my fat arse into gear so I can manage more than 1or2 nights out ,well done mucka

Down to 93 kg ,very happy this week loss of 1/2 kg ,but may all change tonight as it's wedding anniversary so that means copious amounts of food ,ale and whiskey,will have to try and put a few extra message in tomorrow

Doesn't matter if you complete it or not (just my opinion) as my lad Fionn says it's all about the adventure ,

Lived a bit further north for a good few years and up in the hills around Alicante as long as you were away from still water the mossies were very few ,I'd be a bit more concerned about what times to cycle with the heat ,end of April beginning of may it used to be high 20s into low 30s ,when you can...

Send the more expensive one back? This is a option but I bought it a what I thought was a decent price £145 compared to most sites ,and although in theory I'm out of pocket I don't believe that's a good enough reason to send it back when it's fit for purpose and I was happy enough until I got the e...
