Re: Fat Fighters '22 - (The year of victory edition!)
Today I weigh about three hundred million billion kgs and I'm only getting bigger - that is all.

Re: Arkose... upgrade?
Velo Orange Piolet is somewhat intriguing too. I'm a very happy owner of a Piolet and I can highly recommend it. It just feels right for long days covering lots of distance in comfort and style (the bike not me). And it looks great!!! Here's mine: https://advntr.cc/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/201907...

Re: Around the world on a fattie
I'm a big fan of the humble fatbike but I can't think of a less suitable bike to find replacement parts for en route riding around the world. :-bd From tyres and tubes to rims, hubs, the bb and cranks - you'll not find anything in any regular bike shops - all things that'll need replacing regularly ...

Re: Bike choice appreciation society
Totally. Beauty or perfection are nowt to do with it.
Right for me is what I aim for.
I look at a bike and think what I'd change in order to make it exactly right for me and before I know it I've usually pretty much changed what I'm looking at into something I already own.

Bike choice appreciation society
So.....does anyone else frequently just sit and look at their bike/bikes and think 'I really nailed it with my choices'? It's very rare that I get bike envy as usually there's something I don't like about, different choices I would've made or components I'd not get on with when I look at other folks...

What do your 'partial fasting days' look like?
I've been messing about with the whole 18:6 ratio malarkey but not seen any results yet.

Re: Bearfoot cycling shoes: such a thing?
Not much new to offer except to +1 in a few areas... +1 for Pilates for core strength, back self-care and overall combating the body getting old and crap. +1 for minimalist / barefoot (trail running) shoes for riding.

+1 for Wildcat/Lion.

Re: What are you listening to now?
I'm sure you're right but G.P's tastes are very much aligned with mine and he goes off in all the right directions that I'm interested in exploring.
Obviously I wouldn't kick J.P's collection out of bed for farting but given the choice there's no choice.

Re: Calling Mr Ton.....
Thanks fella, unsure what to do yet.
I think I'll leave it another couple of days yet to see how daily walks impact me before I commit arse to saddle.
But mightily heartened to know that it's entirely possible I'll be back riding much sooner than I originally thought.....
