Black - In As New condition, these are now marketed as Sonder (but out of stock)

Postage will be about a fiver as I think they are wider than the Post Office limit of 45 cm - or else collect at a distance in Bristol

27 Jan Update Added another photo with the bike out of the shed that may make things clearer : I have been using handlebar harnesses with drops for a while, but thought I would give the £10 E bay mini rack, or something very similar a go to free up a bit of space on the bars, and make packing a bit ...

I have bought a couple of different types of parachute rip stop from E bay that I used for the lining of my MYOG quilt. The materials do have different characteristics - one is "soft" , the other a bit more "crinkly" and my gut feeling, not founded on any science, was that the cr...

Sorry, no weight but it felt very light, all aluminium construction.

(A bit reluctant to unbolt it now but will weigh it when/if I do - yes, much easier to remove a harness !)

What tyres, and what size would that be please.

Stumbled on this - like Everesting but "deeper" and perhaps relevant to plumbing the depths of depression.

Don't know how he got on but feels like a good cause to support

Can anyone help ?

Flames Creed 15d silnylon 2.1 x 1.5 ultralight tarp on AliExpress for about a tenner?

I can't find it. Any chance of a link ?

Intrigued - never knew there was a cave there, but I know Giant's Grave quite well.

(PM me if you want to keep this on the QT)

I have sent on Stuarts original GPX and my notes to Shaf and Tim today.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did !

It really is a good route, lots of brilliant riding and my previous comment about comfortable walking shoes was meant tongue in cheek. I really recommend it, and hope more people will do it and post how they got on. The climb above Capel-y-ffin is a challenge, but ok. I have sent Stuart my route not...

Yes, agreed.
The lovely pushing and carrying gets you to some even lovelier riding.
I will forward the gpx and notes off next week to those who have pm d me when I am back with the laptop

If you chaps above pm me your email addresses I will send the gpx and my notes to you.

pole please will pm you

Thanks RIP

No, the tomatoes were a rash decision when feeling very jaded and arriving at the Premier in Presteigne on a grey Sunday afternoon.

OS Maps says 324 KM for Offa's Bike. I did an extra 40 miles (consistent units !) due to the rail works and to get home.

Daily mileage was around 40-50 miles a day, a bit sobering. I recommend comfortable walking shoes !

Having been stymied by the Covid lockdown, as was Stuart's ridethrough, I completed this in Mid August. I had a great time and hats off to Stuart for putting together a wonderful route with lots of interest - especially finding ancient holloways and drove roads and hill tops / stone circles / hill f...

Would be nice if the hood had a slightly more rigid rim to make venting easier. Will think on't.

There is a bit ontinternet about mods to the cape - a chap called Gygagos. The suggestion is a big tie wrap pushed up through the sleeve for the hood pull cord to keep it open for venting.

Yes, at last something that works and isn't too expensive if you find a deal.

Very comfy riding wear during mixed conditions on Offa's Bike last week

Now, why don't they do trousers ??

will pm you re Anthem frame bag

Anyone ?

I should be in Prestatyn tomorrow lunchtime
