Newport and Preseli hills/mountains. Not the highest, but lovely scenery and easily accessible.

That was superb watching Liam’s dot. An amazing ride, just under 3.5 days on a steel rigid singlespeed, in at times pretty poor conditions. I look forward to next year’s attempt in perfect weather :wink: Just imagine how well he could have done on a proper bike :wink: You know what they say; “gears...

I was pleased to see that there are people older than me entered.

There's hope yet!

I can't believe that anyone would venture out there without a tent or tarp; that's asking for trouble. Didn't stop people in 2019 (eh Karl :lol: ) Dunno how Alan is going to play it - no gear inspections thats for sure.... I can understand going minimal with a good forecast and bothies open. But fo...

No tarps as well on a few of those set ups - Alan is requiring some form of shelter over and above a bivvy bag..... Stove for me. Stove plus meths plus dried food weighs less than none dried food and I'm fretting about food availability..... Plus If I can't make a brew, I get very unhappy :grin: I ...

No mat is even braver

Interesting array of bikes and set-ups.

Hi Boners Yes, event is still going ahead subject to the end of lockdown restrictions. All tickets for last year are still valid and there's nothing else to pay. A few of us have been heading down over the last few weeks checking out some new sections for the route. We have a few more doors to knoc...

Looks a great trip, thanks for posting. I've done a lot of these trails but not this full loop. Definitely one to add to my list.

I got myself some of these as a backup to wear over normal gloves in case of apocalyptic weather. Unfortunately I haven't needed to use them yet to comment on effectiveness! https://media.screwfix.com/is/image//ae235?src=ae235/23872_P&$prodImageMedium$ https://www.screwfix.com/p/showa-281-temre...

As a counter point, I thought 100% Brisker's were sub standard. No padding, so un-comfy on long rides; not particularly windproof; and utterly useless in the wet. YMMV, etc, etc... Totally agree, I am very underwhelmed with the Briskers. They are ok at a very limited temperature range. Generally, I...

I've got the Alpkit harness, but find I don't need it with the Jones bars.

Thanks Raz!

I remember football was a swear filter word years ago on STW

Riverside 920 touring?

Just going back to the original point ... I think one of the things that both surprised me (I shouldn't have been really) and saddened me, was how many people on that post seemed to think that this groups actions were perfectly acceptable and the fact they were having a good time, was the most impo...

I’m planning on camping at Goathland on the Friday night. Last time, I stayed in an airbnb near York, but I think there are more facilities at the camp this time.

Has anyone got a bag and mounting block suitable for a Brompton S type that they want to move on?

I'm occasionally commuting in to the office now and need to carry my laptop.

Final two days on the Kickstarter campaign.

Happy Birthday Stu.
