Re: BB200 2023
This is why I thought this situation was ok Bob. As I was trying to areange it for everyone? But to ensure that, would you not have to contact every rider directly? Aha. So if I asked you or Dee to put out an announcement via email. Then it might be acceptable :-bd nay or yay? Good point Stu, ta. I...

Re: The BB200 Tyre Anxiety Thread
I have Ikons front and back - they're what's fitted....
I think a Nobby Nic on the front and a Ralph on the back is often an ideal balance of grip, robustness and rolling resistance.
There's loads of riding where the you don't need the grip - fire roads and tarmac just want fastish tyres.

So the 200 route and 300 look similar - will we be able to decide when we get there?

Re: Frame Mounted Hydration...
I had the apidura 1.5l one, and to be honest I didn't like it. You had to suck quite hard to lift the water from the base of the frame to mouth height and it gave me ulcers (this was over several days though). I always found the bite valve in the wrong place (was on the bars not my chest), and diffi...

Re: Are you a hoarder?
I keep stuff, including wood- have you seen how expensive wood is to buy?
But my dad is on another level - he's got a box full of oak offcuts - nothing longer than 3". To me that's kindling but he won't let me have it (he's 87 and never going to use it)

Re: GBDuro
I entered but a month ago pulled out. My head was somewhere else and it's a race that's not a race which messes with me.
Good luck to those riding though!!

Re: Not getting out there, wasting time (and my life) instead
Rockbus, ride down to Burton Dassett and bivvy there - one of my favourite spots is that. If you say a date I'll try to make it. Its only 40 mins from Warwick and there is a track along the railway to Harbury, then over the fields towards Gaydon. All flat until the hill at the end. I've been doing t...
