Sorted out the tyres on the Scandal. Took off the flat Rocket Ron and switched the Nobby Nic to the back and put Hans back on the front. Might cycle to work tomorrow...

Rollers
Finally got round to having a go on the rollers I picked up from slarge at the BB200. Utterly terrifying, mainly as the band powering the front wheel was slipping. https://media.bobarnott.com/gravel/2024-01-31-rollers.jpeg I noticed that a bolt had fallen off, so I tightened it up. There was a crunc...

Sleeping Socks
I've been having cold feet issues while sleeping on the last few BAMs. Rather than going out and splunking £49 , £79 , £120 , or even £149 on some down booties, I thought I might try some thicker socks first. Anyone used any of these socks that appear to come with a TOG rating...? Such as, but proba...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
My feet were really cold, so I put on my big winter Sealskins over the big socks I was already wearing, this didn't really improve matters. I've been trying to think what my favourite bit of kit for camping is for the other thread and you've helped me choose. I'd say it's my down sleeping socks/boo...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Pumped the rear tyre up way passed what it normally runs at, left it half an hour, or so, checked it was still inflated, then headed out. Went to the village pocket park, which is less than a mile from the house. Less cover than I was expecting, but then it's mostly deciduous trees. I realised when ...

Apart from the frequently fascinating reports from our esteemed brother Bob Boab it seems that Boners usually head for the hills and mountains. My spot in the woods last week was only 32m above OS Datum, even BOAB should be able to manage higher than that :grin: Planned bivvy site for Saturday is a...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Everyone who's yet to get a score on the board should pick the next night with a half reasonable forecast and get out before the next storm comes through. I'm still primary on-call, so no bivvying till that finishes... This weekends forecast isn't too bad down here, so hopefully we'll get out Satur...

I'm not sure who this is, but I'd be interested in finding out what these overshoes are...? They look like they're over flat pedal shoes, if so, I could really do with a pair... Blimey - That's me!

Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
BAM, WRT, Jenn Ride, Lakeland 200, NYM300, BB300, maybe something like the Big Bear if I can swing the time off. I'd also like to do some riding in Scotland for a change, maybe in Dumfries and Galloway.
