Move south a little here Shaf. Plenty of off road tracks over the mountains. Some may not be 100% legal RoW but they're well used by bikes. https://i.imgur.com/QeJFelE.jpg Already sorted that Stu. Have changed it to the singletrack paved roads just above the A5. At the end of this I think I'll prob...

Thread closed. I'll try n feed the bear instead

A nice, flat well surfaced blast to the finish. Better than the A458, especially Mucklow Hill towards the end! https://www.komoot.com/tour/1506840282?share_token=a0OH7Acuxdnmmib3eBgdJuRaXMRj8GjU9A107TCe7wlLwzd86z&ref=wtd Appreciate that UtR... Does that mean I'm losing alot of my elevation? and...

Here we go https://youtu.be/EGAqbci0w_Q?si=4VhDzyNsWQABN3G2 On topic of the name of the Angel Gabriel (peace be upin him) - another one if you're on Who wants to be a millionaire - the arabs didn't have a history of receiving messengers as regularly as the Jewish tribes. So when Jibraeel (PBUH) came...

NB. Update... I'm seeking out a 2 to 5 mins vid describing the answer. After that anyone that wants to take a shot feel free.

You got until midnight if anyone really wanted/needed a pump... 2 ticks, lemme review a few vids that are easier to follow.

We're gonna need some multiple choice Shaf. :lol: I might keep em for next eid prize giveaway (or maybe I needed a better prize to tempt people to seek out the answers). But... I'll share the answer anyway... Couple of people got it right but they didn't want a prize and it was sent me via PM so I'...

Your wonky maps appeared as I posted. I can do you a nice quiet road/canal towpath/bridleway route from Bridgnorth to the centre of Brum. I’d avoid the roads/route you’ve planned above Thanks UndertheRadars... That last bit we will be riding between about 0000 to about 0600 depending on rider. Doin...

Thanks to everyone that's already had some input. Managed to iron out a few glitches that I'd rather not have. Might still need to add some gravel as I may have removed mistakenly. https://i.imgur.com/mohlX9N.webp Mossley to Stretford https://i.imgur.com/lMB1Qwn.jpeg Stretford to Northwich https://i...

Still got about 40 mins left. Just saying

Sorry about this. I'm left perplexed cos I recall putting it up for grabs briefly and no interest. Then the SIDs became available and I thought it's time to go back to suspension and that SIDs have come a long way since the olden days of constant-fettling SIDs. Then came the report from Allen that h...

Eid Mubarak Shaf :-bd At college there is about 20 kids in, out of 2000. 20 out of 2000 :shock: That's a massive ratio. I'm gonna guess your in London somewhere today Ben. Birmingham, we don't quite have 99% students celebrating Eid. It is a lot and we have a critical mass of Muslims so even studen...

Thanks for sharing that Jon. So the next one to hit europe is in 2090 but the one that hits spain is in 2026 :-bd No "The next Eclipse to hit the UK will be on 23th September 2090" Aha. Thanks Jon. I'll be 113 years old (if I'm alive) by then. I'll be sure to look out for it. Enjoy your S...

But when you crash bang break it, it might then become a partial eclipse. If my calculations serve me correctly Sorry...

That would be classed as a total eclipse, right?

Obviously in cycling terms I believe there's some foul language involved

I know you mean the golden rule.

I will read up later what happened at the first meeting

Rule 1 in cycling I always thought was to not be an idiot??

Just an update. Doesn't look like anyone has won yet and since eid after the month of fasting only lasts the one day, I'll end the eid prize comp at sunset today - there's when technically the next day starts for us (night is before the day, in case you ever get asked on the Who Wants to be a Millio...

Prize updated. We now have an option of the Pocket Rocket or a Mini Dual G with psi gauge. One or the other, not both (sorry). The other pump https://www.amazon.co.uk/Topeak-Mini-Du ... B00JQN3J1Y

It's the grey version of this. Grey is alwasy a bit more dull, we all know that

Hello you all. At the masjid today and I wondered whether I should share a little eid gift on the forum (btw, does anyone know where my Travis Prongs went - did I sell em someone on here... not sure I want the Sids after Allens broke!!). Anyway... First person to get the following question right, wi...

Happy Eid!

Thanks man. In fact, I was gonna share a little eid gift on the forum. More info coming

I was the postman. Shimano 105/deore chain from Halfords. On the shelves at £34 but price matched online at £20.23 or something. Pump which I almost bought... A pocket rocket for only £15. Weldtite tyre levers. Big hefty ones with Halfords branding on the packaging with a lifetime warranty. Good old...

Very kind of you Simon. Not sure I can send via a message on PM on here for some reason but can send as an email (maybe I should've converted it to a Strava file for easier sharing).
