Is anyone familiar with a, mainly, traffic free cycle route between Scarborough and Whitby called the cinder track? I'm heading up to Yorkshire with family next week and we're planning to cycle this route, but I've heard various stories about the trails surface, with it "appearing to be 99% pav...

I've done the WRT twice on my Pinnacle Arkose D2 gravel bike, just saying, in case that's an option for you...

I really enjoyed this. Very "Wes Anderson".

I'm nor gonna write War and Peace. Just a list of things I learned from this WRT. I've no intention of going tubeless on my gravel bike. Tubes FTW! I need to seal the seams on my SMD tent. I carry too much food. Carrying two bottles, one empty, one full and a water filter, worked out nicely. Cheap t...

Cheers all. The seam sealer should be arriving today.

If you're ever looking for a valve again, try looking for a scuba diving shop / dry suit shop... a cuff dump or shoulder dump would do what you're after.

I think Ootini held a gate for Gareth & myself not long after the start when we passed the LHC, so thank you

Possibly, I'm not sure, but you're welcome.

Yes, yes it was.

Very handy. Thanks

Never come across one other than when offered by the manufacturer at point of sale. In truth it's not difficult though - thin down the sealant (white spirit) and brush well into the seams. There's no need to form a 'bead' of sealer as it's the stitch holes where it'll leak, so it's those you're try...

Hi all, So my SMD Skyscape leaked a little through the seams during the rain of the WRT, which leads me to believe, it needs the seams sealing. Not one to want ruin my beloved tent, are there any businesses, preferably in the North Wales region, that provide this as a service? I get the feeling if I...

Echoing this sentiment. Thank you so much to Dee, Stu, the dogs, the ladies doing hot food, the various W@nkers helping out with organisation etc, and Thank you to everyone else who turns up to make this event so brilliant. And thanks to Mark (Barney) and Paul for waiting for me on the hills. Same t...

It looks like it might be quite chilly in the night time, might need a thicker bag. 11-12degC... still debating bag.. last minute packing decision... Ditto. I'd rather be too warm than too cold I think. But "too warm" can also mean too heavy. I'm torn on the super lightweight uninsulated ...

Stu, any midges to speak of in the area, as yet?

That's the spirit, if we all pack and carry everything that's waterproof known to the bike packing world the heatwave will hit it.

With that in mind, NO ONE bring sun cream!!!!

I'm pretty sure, that last year, someone made a gpx available of all the GRs preplotted... has anyone done that again this year? Just curious, and lazy.

The link I included in the email is to a site that allows you to pinpoint all the GR on a single map.

Cheers Stu

Any further suggestions on this topic? I'm close to pulling the trigger, but I know the second I do, someone will pop up with a strong reason I shouldn't have bought something...

I aim for 190g protein / day. And limit to 1900 calories / day. I tend to ensure each and every meal I eat has protein as a core, then use protein shakes to fill in the gaps. I hate the milkshake variants so use clear "cordial-esque" supplements. For natural protein sources I go for... 0% ...

The Ultrabites are the chunkiest variant of G-one?
