Did another 22 miles of my Justice for Aafia Siddiqui 100 miles mtb challenge/attempt. Planned on getting out early morn. But 0530 came, prayers done and I was too knackered... Managed to get out at about 1000 or 1100. Decided early that I'll be taking pics looking back at the trail that I'd ridden....

Sorry to hear that Dave. Hope you get back to full ride-ready status very soon...

Oh... and them centuries as well as the mtb miles remaining. I just can't stop thinking about the pressure sore risk since I've been off for so long. Plus, the old glass back might not be too happy! Hands were giving me lots of 'gyp' during this first ride. Them thick winter gloves obviously don't l...

Well, I kinda started it. But haven't fully committed. Instead I've decided to do my Justice for Dr Aafia Siddiqui rides in the form of a 100 miles on the mtb. Took the mate out on the 24th who's a newcomer to mtb and I might have made the route a bit too tough... In order of climbs that probably di...

Right, so the 'zoom in' for OS didn't work for me. But Iverecently changed phones which may be the cause. Redownloading huge chunks now from OA. Will report back with what it does in offline mode after this...

Yes, agreed. That's been the same for some time sinceoving to OA. I really used to appreciate the OS maps downloaded on the phone via ViewRanger

I wonder if there's another option that's almost as good in functionality...

Bob.. I don't want/wish to do the ITI
I'm just happy as a couch spectator...
Thanks for the clarification

For those who don't want to give their money to the Times.

Nice1 Ben...

I've been looking forward to reading something on this for a while. Really wanted to know if it was the 1000 or 350 but daren't ask him (scary guy).

Wait... hold on. So he's not doing the 1000. Has he gone bloomin soft or something.

Oh dear. I really want to read that article but don't have £3 to spend on The Times. Wonder if others have published summat on it. ITI... Go Karl

I have too much stuff. I think Tonys method is best. Too much stuff is tressful especially when you have poor organisational abilities!

My vest too and it's amazing. Tip sent. Thanks Andy.

(ah, thanks for the clarification. That helps. Ish.)

Everyone thought the same thing for a moment there Reg

Sprry to hear that Steve... One thing to be very very optimistic about is that cycling is actually classed as one oftnhe exercises prescribed after knee replacents. I'll let you speak to your surgeon/physios about that when the time comes and I'm fairly certain we shall see you again soon enough... ...

Thanks Bob... Nah, don't feel like departing with Assos type money :-bd Today I went out for my first winter ride as been off the bike for 4 weeks. Just as I'd thought, the little un has 'misplaced' my orange snood after using for school. The new one hasn't arrived (£12.50 Fohn) so I wa stuck. Used ...

6 months warranty for full peice of mind in case anything rips (strapdeck or straps) - for full peice of mind!

Hello all. Selling the strapdeck with custom shaved xl Voile straps. Big enough to fit my sleep system on the bars but its just a faff getting the whole kits threaded on or off, so I'm moving it on. Includes the custom cut carbon tube spacers which are really strong and hopefully I'll try and includ...

Excellent news and a quick respinse by someone called Mike. -------- Hi Shafiq, Though the year of free Pro+ has ended, you retain the whole of OS GB and OSI permanently free under the legacy agreement. To make sure you are ready to use them: Use the App / Play Store; find Outdooractive; if there's ...

Is everyone now starting to lose their maps from Viewranger that we'd been allowed to keep using on the Outdoor Active Pro subscription. Anything we can do about it. I've emailed em after getting the message that the pro subscription would no longer work. But not holding out my hopes that theyllhave...

Hold on... So Dees actually cancelled Christmas. Does that mean if I ride past yours on (whichever day) christmas day (is) I'll not get lots of, "Merry Christmas"...

Anyway, this is what I ended up buying. For some reason there's limited info online about it but it seems well made and a nice upgrade to my current neck/face warmer/buff.

Thats the one Stu. Thanks. I wanted to use the word 'russian aero engineers' but wasn't sure. It appears from the front page they're still managing to get em built during these 'difficult trading conditions'.
