I've tried my Greenland paddle along the top tube, but as its made from Cedar it was denting when strapped in place.
I think it needs packing and protecting before I try it again

Re: Bikepacking hall of fame?
Recently I mentally added Jon Climber to that list too. Though he was always a legend in my eyes, but a recent message made me realise how far out the box he actually thinks/looks. #blush When you say "Bikepacking" I class this as a chilled out ride, stop when you fancy, take photos, taki...

Re: Iceland Divide 2024: need advice on tent, sleeping mat and stove
Iceland is a fantastic country but very fickle with its weather.

And if you get a good weather window it will be a bonus

Re: Waterproof Jacket Recommendations
Another vote for outdry, they are amazing
Or Gore shakedry
Both don't have any DWR and they are perfect for the UK, if you get wet, undo the zip a bit to vent it

Re: Just how long ....

Take the WRT leaving at 1pm Sat - up to 30 miles Sun - 50 miles (maybe another 70 would be ok if less hilly or technical without any pushing Mon - 20 miles to the start. Take the Cairngorm outer loop https://welovemount...

Sean Conway Ironman 102, but...
What an amazing achievement Sean Conway is trying to do 102 Ironmen in a row. 2.4-mile (3.9 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.2 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.2 km) run completed in that order, day after day for over 100 days.
