Re: Degreaser
I use Gunk (the green one) water based & biodegradable from the likes of Halfords etc works a treat, Just don't go for the red one as its naughty for the environment

Re: Riding the Gr5 (ish), Montreux to Nice
Brilliant pics looks an epic trip mate, wouldn't mind something along those lines in the future having rode the RDGA Geneva to Nice on road bikes a few years back

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
August BAM Report So guess what, got it done with 59 minutes to spare. Not much to report to be honest, rode for 2.2 mile with a massive 157ft of climbing at 23:01hrs and leaving for home at 04:32 for another equally demanding ride of 2.1 mile and 49ft of climbing with a partially loaded bike carryi...

Re: Are you a hoarder?
Going to be keeping an eye to this thread to see if I'm weird or just as normal as the next man/woman. I'm pretty sure we all collect/hoard something which is value to us and us only , I do get a slight anxiety when the misses says were having a clear out too

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
I think the summer months can be harder to get out in than winter as that's when you have loads of other stuff on to distract you from a bivvy ride I'll second that so much tougher to get out, August for me has been packed up from the beginning of the year and I'm running out of time :| I have Thur...

Re: Audax Tips?

Re: Audax Tips?
I've done 2x100k Audax one flat one hilly, both very relaxed events like what was said in previous posts enjoy the atmosphere and the characters you meet there will be a few for sure and full of advice and stories which make the events what they are IMO. I have a few more hilly 100's in the peaks to...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
Bit of a late upload for July BAM due to being away, but got it ticked off. Given the weather forecast I opted for the tent over the bivvy bag. So after tea I was heading off up towards the Clwyds through Cilcain up to star crossing with a rough spot in mind with steady climbing most of the way up p...

This shot was taken during the Summer Solstice ride on the dam wall of Alwen reservoir heading up to Llyn Brenig for a lie down for a few hours

Re: Tyre Patches
I'd second using the car / tip top style with the wire on the end only because a mate is a tyre fitter and I have unlimited supply :lol: not needed that many tbh tho but they work well if the tyres had a good clean up before hand, I've also used normal bike tube patches too on smaller holes to get t...

Re: Decent lock for bikepacking
Hip lock for me, only had to use a few times as my bike is never far from me to worry about anyone taking off on it. It works well and is light and small enough to pack away.

Re: Squirt Lube or something Else?
I find Squirt Lube to be doing the job at the moment so much so that I recently bought my 3rd bottle so I've been on it a while, steer clear of Muc Off IMO as it doesn't last long enough if your riding 4-5 times a week or if the weather isn't so good :-bd I believe Smoove lube to good and also have ...

Re: Bivvy a month 2023.
June Summer Solstice BAM - After looking at the Triban Trial for so long and living close enough to ride to the route in an hour or so I made the decision to ride most of it on the Solstice. Setting off around 5pm on Wednesday after a light tea and heading through Cilcain for Star crossing on the Cl...
