Re: Lake District Route

Going off what you've posted it's pretty much all rideable, the notable exceptions are the push up to High St & the boggy section after Mosedale Cottage. There's a route in the v-graphics Lake District mtb guide that's very similar to the one you describe but it doesn't go to Patterdale. Don't k...

Re: Like the Trans-continental ... but in Japan.

Spent a few weeks in Japan a couple of years ago, would love to go back & do something like this. It really is an amazing country, very traditional at heart even with their reputation for modern technology.. Very few people speak any English even in the big cities & good luck trying to work ...

Re: Clippless shoe suggestion, I have learned!

Re: Clippless shoe suggestion, I have learned!

+1 for the Terraduro's, got mine locally for about £100. Did 1.5-2hrs h-a-b on a ride last Sat & hardly noticed them.. Had some Mavic Scree before which were a really good riding shoe but the tread on the bottom was too aggressive for walking over rocky ground & eventually the tread got ripp...
