Re: Tour de France 2023: Injuries, disaster bivies, failure to complete the ride - a great time all round
Really liked that James. For all the Achilles-related tribulations and dodgy bivvies, there's a real sense of the freedom that comes with having nothing to do except ride, eat, sleep. I'm feeling the need to get something (un)planned in the diary.

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
December and the calendar year ticked off. Optimism overruled the weather forecast, and I bimbled out into a mild and dry evening. I scoped out a new spot, and it was pretty nice. However, it was far too windy, and despite a decent tarp pitch, there was a lot of flapping and a resultant crappy night...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Hope it all heals up nicely Reg. Last night, we were reminiscing about the time Granny P had her retina repaired by the surgeon using a syringe to introduce a little air bubble into her eyeball. The bubble floated up inside the vitreous humour, and held the tear in place as it healed. Unfortunately ...

Sad to report that Outdoor Provisions are calling time on the business. They've got a stock clearance sale going on, everything half price.

If you don't need waterproof, these are fine: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/men-s-water-repellent-mountain-bike-cycling-trousers/_/R-p-309674 The arse and shin areas are water repellent (at best). The half length fly zip reduces bunching. Does mean you need to pull the waistband down a bit if you ...

I can confirm I made it out of the pub. Despite this place's tendency for threads to drift (or indeed veer wildly) off-topic, there are Standards To Be Upheld, and if it had just been a trip t'pub, I'd have kept it in the "What are you drinking?" thread. Also, my antisocial streak means I'...
