Re: £1,000 Cycle2Work Voucher - Which 29er

Just to throw a spanner in the works for you. You get tax relief for just the 1000 quid. There is nothing saying you have to limit yourself to that 1000 though. Just got myself a norco valence in the sale at 1600 which is super nice using a 1000 from the scheme. Throw a few more quid in if you fanc...

My employer this year has changed their cycle to work scheme from the Halfords offering, to cyclescheme.co.uk. This means i have the option to purchase from vast ...

Re: BB200 - 2 Weeks to Go

Im sure the height will be meters, so peaking at approx 525m. The additional bit may be Stu's ride home afterwards! He may not have started/finished where the masses are!

Re: A little BB200 recce' trip.

Love it Si ... so much so that I've ordered a spare. If you look at on-line reviews they get a bit of a slating but in reality I wonder how much of that is to do with looks? I don't notice it's there most of the time, it weighs nowt and vents very well. I'll do a bit of a mini-review shortly. That ...

Re: BB200 - plan of attack/kit.

Looking at the site (not for the BB 200 but im looking to head to mid Wales soon) and i think they charge £15 as its a tenner to pitch up the tent, then £5 for the shower/toilet facilities. Could well be wrong though.
