Re: Help Alex - BB200 routes.

Yup, i am very aware of that - i go though food very fast!

Next step is to start plotting all available eating locations! I think a water filter device could come in handy too.

The weigh in will be interesting as ill be carrying lots of supplies i think.

Re: Help Alex - BB200 routes.

So i have taken Stu's 2017 route and modified it slightly by looking at Strava heatmaps to take into account as much offroad type riding as i could find. I have also diverted to 3 potential bothies along route, should the weather be utterly crap. Id be keen to see what people thought of the diversio...

Re: WRT Single track route

I take your point, and i definatley dont want to be wandering round trail centers.....Maybe 200-300km depending on the terrain.

I was just looking at the 2018 BB300 route - that looks interesting.....

Re: WRT Single track route

There's some good riding to be had amongst this years GR, although perhaps not completely obvious. It's virtually impossible to piece together a long route in mid-Wales and not make use of the lanes ... most of which are lovely and very, very quiet.

Vaude Lizard Gul 1p Tent

Hey all, thinking of flogging my current bike packing tent, used on 2 trips thus far. Great condition. About the lightest set up you can get (690g), only selling as looking at something else with a bit more room, so i can take my lad with me. https://www.vaude.com/en-GB/Products/Tents/1-persons-tent...
