I picked up a bumbag form Decathlon that holds 10L plus two water bottles. The plan is for me to wear it on our tandem, with food and drink to hand for Tom to administer.

Tom and I are doing this, though setting off a few days before the GD.

I enjoyed that Philip. Well done

Well done Steve!

It's been great watching the dots (for a change).

A big well done especially those who had unfinished business.

The tracker page didn't seem up to much but Josh Ibbet who led at one stage,posted that he had to jack after been bitten by a dog.

Cumulus bag just arrived. Wow... light doesn't even come close to describing it. Even in the cardboard box with mesh sack it weighed next to nothing.

Will you be testing it out soon?

Undecided on where we'll ride from. Weather dependent I guess. So from here ~130 miles, or maybe just the road option from Wrexham.

As a matter of interest who is Samuel?
Not Samuel Becuwe?

Yes, him.

This one is looking like a particularly good deal: http://sleepingbags-cumulus.eu/uk/categ ... d=62&vid=6

Cheers I've ordered one. For just over £100 that seems a steal.

Yep, wishing everyone the best of luck.

Could i please have a copy please.

Email James?

Rich or Ian - could I have a copy too please

On its way.

Ta Ian.

Trail-Rat I am formulating a plan.

Hi, could someone mail me a recent track for the inner and outer Cairngorm loops. I can only see a route on self supported.

Hi, look up the Capital Trail which is near Edinburgh.

Loch Lomond ~ West Highland Way. It will be busy with walkers and the riding isn;t that good.

There may be a shooting season, but access is allowed all year round in Scotland.

Beware the Scottish midge though.

The bike I did the Highland Trail on cost under £250.

Another year I did a 24 hour solo race on 2 bikes that cost under £200 for the pair.

Yep, nice meeting you too.

Remember, Shimano shimano shimano.

A few words and pictures from the weekend.

Thanks for the company y'all

I used some sort of white Colgate. Worth noting, the Garmin has a coating, then the plastic underneath. Coating - You'll easily polish the scratches out of the coating and all will be good again. If you have scratched the plastic underneath, then you may get the scratch out, though it'll take an age...

I enjoyed that.

Gunther Desmedt is organising a 2 day event an event which looks to be something a bit different for those of us who love hills. :lol: Details are sparse atm but there are 13 landmarks to visit in Zeeland in the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeland He's on FB https://www.facebook.com/g...

I'm quite partial to a Maccy D's strawberry milkshake, and of course a beer or two.

No set list, so much depends on the route and the weather.

Grim stuff.

My only advice as a parent is let your kids know asap that paedos are out there on the internet.

I couldn't imagine having the conversations with my parents I've had with my children about the subject.
