Re: BB200 2017 - No More Speculation
Ha ha Mike's gpxs may be awful but they aren't a patch on his distance estimations . . .'as the crowd flies it's about...'
One of our rides to get me back out on my bike again was estimated at 'about 30 miles each way' - we did over 100 miles!

Re: BareBones Fatfighters - The weigh in
I'm now hovering around 10st 10lb (well not hovering as I'm still way to heavy for any kind of levitation)
But considering I got up to 12st 4lb after my surgery I'm happy to still be shrinking. Not really dieting just sticking to lchf and still trying to ride as much as I can

Re: Northern winter bivi
The 'original' wekend is good for me as I'll be childless - any other weekend I'll have to drag the boys along with me. They'll probably be the height of teenage awkwardness and quite mardy with me as all they want to do is skate at the moment and hang about together not saying much to anyone else.....

I am childless on the 16/17th so this would suit me :)
I'm not going to offer myself for organising anything though - that sounds a bit rubbish but I have my reasons

I have heard mutterings through the grape vine of a northern winter bivi - but I've yet to see it detailed anywhere (or maybe I'm being blind )

Worrying about the finer points of tread patterns whilst opting for only one choice of gear - that actually made me laugh

They would look incredible on my special needs stooge - it already has loads of spacer and a 50mm 30° stem - with these it would be a proper sit up and beg :lol: :lol: must admit that...

PSA for stove tinkerers
A while ago I made a stove out of a aluminium beer bottle - wasn't as tiny as Stu's but it was fun to make (and won the impromptu meths stove boil off that we had a few years back - although all the disgruntled boys said I just won the women's event - sore loosers the lot of them :lol: ) Since them ...
