Re: Another Winter Bivvy :)

Reg, phenomenal bit off planning going on here but sadly can't make it now that weekend, big shame as the cross boarder raiding party game sounded like a right laugh.
As an aside, if anyone's up for a Chiltern ride 6/7 Oct it would be good to have some company :-bd

Chilterns Weekend Oct6/7

:-H :-H
I've got a free weekend for some two wheeled tramping and it would be cool to have some company. I'm heading out from Berkhamsted Friday (5th) afternoon for a couple of nights, but flexible if anyone can only do Saturday, any takers?

Top spec cat herding Reg et al, 75.27% of the way to a weekend pass. If the 'matrimonial negotiations' are successful, I'll drive over there and will have space for +1 and bike.

Re: Moors One Hundred

Good effort Growler for the cat herding (pint earned from me definitely), I'm absolutely looking forward to it, I grew up as a kid in Pickering and loved spending time on the moors, never had an opportunity until now to go bikepacking there, the heather must be in full purple by now :-bd

Is it me, or has Strava Heatmap just lost loads of resolution recently? :???: I use it for checking out some of my ‘slightly optimistic’ route planning, helps confirm if stuff’s rideable, but I’ve just been checking my WRT route and some of the heatmap tracks that I’m sure I checked previously are n...

Re: Sunrace 12spd drivetrain

Was hoping for an 11 speed with a bigger range to fit an XD driver but no one seems to be doing them yet. Could do with a lower gear than SRAM make and already on a 30t up front. I've got my eye on these for the same reason as you: https://bythehive.com/collections/drivetrain/products/trs-cassette ...
