It's only just occurred to me to promote Joe's shop my club Facebook page, where there's been quite a bit of chat about buying kit to try bikepacking for the first time - sorry, I don't know why I didn't think of it before :oops: Not the best time with you being away though - remind me when you get...

No, they wouldn't serve us, even outside last year, but a friend has just come back from there and they said they got served outside, so it seems that is an option this year.

Just to say that we are heading off on our bikes at the end of the week, so if you want anything for use in the next month you should order it today or tomorrow (Weds 19th).

Spacemaker sale now on at Alpkit. Annoying that a lot of the women's stuff 50% off but the equivalent men's stuff is 25% off or thereabouts. I don't think it's going to do much to tip the balance of historical gender inequality, but it's mildly irritating. Maybe it's deliberate ploy to encourage fe...
