That was the top of Cut Gate Shaf. Hasn't been sorted yet as far as I'm aware.

Didn't realise you lot were into Green Day. lol

Might be up for riding some of it at least Alex. You thinking of going right through?

I'm not getting that in the app or in a browser.

Viewranger and bikemap.net will both let you edit gpx files for free and convert routes to tracks/vice versa.

One point - the date isn't on the linked page and I had to click through to Eventrbrite to find it.

Must have been awful for you.

Great news Stu!

Gore do a really good padded short (not a bib) for hot weather. I think the key is getting something that's designed to be an underlayer so that it's massively ventilated (and possibly indecent if worn as an outerlayer). Stick normal MTB shorts over a standard roadie bib and things are definitely g...

In the circumstances , yes.

I carry Sudacrem in an old film roll pot. The travel tubes of Sudocrem are a decent size for a multiday trip for a chap with a large area to cover. :cool: I've managed to refill the tubes by microwaving a big pot and syringing the softened cream into the tube. :cool: For a one-er like this weekend ...

oh god..... :cry: Thought the same!! It's only rain though. Last year what made it hard was the wind. At one point I thought I was going to have to get off and push on the flat as the headwind was so strong I could barely pedal against it on the singlespeed. Not only did it make the riding hard but...

Nice new bike pics Tim.

What's the wheel/tyre combination?

Time probably. Went out on the piss on Tuesday for my birthday, went straight to bed last night because I was so tired after drinking on a work night :oops:, out on it again tonight because a mate is up from London then tomorrow I'm driving down to The Star after work. Hasn't left any time for prep/...

Speaking as a coffe snob I'd just like to object to being called a coffee snob.

Can't quite tell where you are there Duncan.

edit: now i can see the blue line on your pic. It's that.

Yeah the Tuscany Trail route would be perfect for you Sarah. It's absolutely beautiful and there are loads of places to stop/eat/stay.

Half tempted to take a 20,000mah battery pack to make my diablo last longer, but it's just extra to take...Will make this decision later this week. Check that it will actually charge your light. I took an Anker 20,000mah power bank on the Dales Divide this year thinking I could use it to charge my ...

Yeah I'm doubtful for today too. Been on a nightshift which I was hoping to have finished a few hours ago. Nope.

We're all going to die Dave.

But especially you.

Wasn't that Andy, hence his forum name?

It was just a minor misunderstanding.

Are we crossing Afon Hengawn again Stu?

This for me too.

Ideally would like to improve on last year's time (22h) but taking nothing for granted.

Is it going to the seaside Stu? Will there be ice cream and candy floss on the beach for the plucky riders?

I like my foreign trips to include the drinking of copious amounts of booze though so I suppose I'll be waiting for a more liberal regime. I like my regimes to be liberal in terms of how they treat women, homosexuals, voteing , neighbouring countires and tend to not like the ones who assisinate jou...
