21 stone 4lbs here. which to be honest, i am ok with.
last year was a stonking year on the bike, topping just over 6000 miles.

if more riding means a bit of weight loss, all good then.

anyone fancy a bit of swap shop ?? rather than buying stuff willynilly nowadays, i like to try and swap......... less stuff bought is good for everyone allround, so i want a alpkit or similar stem mounted waterbottle bag/ stem cell. condition is of no concern i have to trade, a good condition set of...

in the UK winter, i ride in a single layer pair of trousers from either Keela or Quechua. always ok even down to recent rides of minus 7. so roughly, by adding say a pair of merino base leggings or similar, what kind of temps would be managed ? in my head i always think a good base can cope with dou...

Rich, would you have a Ton size tent/shelter you need rid of ? i need a new one.

currently laid up with a virus....... but got some plans

Fat Viking in Norway in 2 weeks time. cant bloody wait.

etrex now sold. wahoo road purchased.

the wife has just reminded me, we had a garmin tour years ago, and it was a PITA to use. we sold it.

failed with this again. came down with a cold 2 days ago. was up to 200 miles i think. all good tho.

this is a bit hard to do in our sub standard weather. well done to anyone who completed.

i bought a garmin etrex off here, but it is not any use to me. i use a chrome book, and you cant load routes from chromebook onto a garmin etrex. so i will ask again if it is ok. i need a simple gps unit. all i need to do is load a gpx file for a event onto it, from either my chromebook or via bluet...

bought this Garmin etrex 30 off here a month or so ago. but i can use it. so it is for sale.

anyone ?

Andy, payment sent for Soma bars.

owned three 29+ bikes in the past, and all were brilliant and perfect for a massive rider. 1 x jones plus, and 2 x surly ecr's. only sold or swapped to try something else. i may dip my toe in again if the mood takes me. my current offroad bike is a 26'' wheeled fatbike with 4.8 tyres. again, perfect...

i am usually in a grump at this time of year. always hated xmas, but this year something has changed and i feel quite chipper. so, inspiration. Kevin Sinfield, former Leeds Rhino's captain. the work he does for the MND charity is astounding. amazing bloke, and someone i could look up to. trip.myself...

february bivvy on the horizon.
-15 sleeping bag, bombproof goretex bivvy bag, good inflatable mat, down longs and jacket.
would this suffice ?

i have been using Keela roadrunner trousers for years. very tough, and stretchy and dry very quickly. but recently been using some of these from Decathlon. and the seem very good. again stretchy and dry quickly. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/men-s-water-repellent-and-windproof-mountain-trekking-trou...
