Re: Do you like choice?
Liking to get to places early I am sometimes the first vehicle in an otherwise empty car park. The pleasure I gain from watching people arriving in their vehicles and having to choose a parking bay is something I should probably see a psychiatrist about! A full car park with just one or two spaces l...

Re: Are you analogue?

Re: Are you analogue?
I have heard the term 'analogue' used recently referring to bicycles. There are analogue bikes and there are e-bikes. Apparently... Me, I will use technology to make a job easier but come unstuck if that technology is too technical (complicated!) for my brain. So yes, maps over sat nav, vinyl over d...

Re: BB200 2023
A local organiser of fell races simply adds 10% to the permitted numbers (the limit is set by Natural England) knowing that at least that percentage won't turn up and therefore he's likely to be back at full capacity on the day. If there aren't as many "no shows" as predicted then he's on...

Re: BB200 2023
Even though it's not an event for me I find it disappointing that there are so many DNS. If the event is oversubscribed, and I assume it sometimes is hence the opening up of a second weekend, it would be a shame if people able and willing miss out? I appreciate that some people are genuinely not abl...

Re: To Elan Back (No, not that one.)
Put that aside for an evening read and it was well worth it! Really enjoyed it. I'm thinking that you made notes along the way during the journey (photo with exercise book) ? That's a great idea on a more leisurely ride especially coupled with photos (or indeed sketches if that's your thing). And pr...

Re: What are you reading now?
I have been reading The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
A thoroughly enjoyable read especially if you enjoy an irreverent and humorous take on history from the viewpoint of an irascible 100 year old man. Total bollox really

I'm trying to reconcile the picture with the kit list. Nice roomy panier bags but mat & pillow in one, brewkit in the other? That's a lot of bag for not a lot of stuff!? Plus walking poles? I'm guessing there's a lot more to your first trial ride than just an overnighter and maybe the kit list i...

I just hope everyone got through the bollock deep river crossings of doom.
