Also interested in hearing more about your ride and this route

Looks a nice place to visit so was just after the location

Where’s the place with that boardwalk near the start?

Saw them yesterday, unsure why they don’t offer the fuel pod (and now cradle) with fitting for frame bolts that are appearing on a lot of bikes.

Stu, would you be able to provide 2 x packable poles for one of these ? Shouldn't be a problem Tony. I put it up yesterday with trekking poles so I could take some measurements and have a weigh up ... a pair of carbon poles is now curing. Hopefully I'll get chance to try them tomorrow. I saw someon...

A wire brush and antibacterial hand gel that we’re all carrying now, sorts the adults from the children

Well done Ton!

Ooh I’ve just had the book delivered, shall watch this once I’ve read it

I’ve been chased by a gorilla in the woods at Eastnor during MM, and there’s that devil bloke at some road race in France. Dunno about bikepacking events though

But they went too expensive

Yeah, this one wasn’t too bad, the others I was watching went for over £20

Heh. At least this one turned up

I think in my mind (and with it being mentioned in earlier posts) I picture it being really claggy and oily like sudocrem and it just building up in the pad, or maybe I’m over thinking it and just need to buy some bum butter and try it

A Mint Sauce top cap.

Nice video, thanks. Congrats on the time!

I’ve never used arse ointments, have always wondered if they wash out of your bib shorts ok? And what about 2/3 days of use, are they all claggy and difficult to clean?

water at shoulder height

Must have been short of stature or in the wrong spot.

Or me misremembering it

Managed to find the picture online. Was actually just above waist deep, but still a nope for me!

It's weather dependent. Jenny Graham spent a whole day at the Fisherfield crossing, waiting for the water levels to drop. There are also numerous other river crossings that are at least as problematic. Think that was the year when I saw a photo of someone mid Fisherfield crossing with the water at ...

Yes, just jumped 30 miles. All down hill from here

Some Time pedals, I only wanted a set of cleats to go with the shoes I bought from the classifieds here. I had the choice of buying cleats for £18 or a new set of pedals and cleats for £37

A few years ago now I had good fun trying to smash up prototype and warrantied carbon frames for the skip. Swinging them against the side of the skip with my full strength did surprisingly little damage at first.

Was as shame that I couldn't have one or two

So it was you who put those Tory party leaflets through my door before voting day

As someone who, during the hot summer of 2018, was up all night helping the fire service put out a good chunk of Kinver edge due to some c**** using a disposable bbq, seeing the death and damage it caused first hand, I’m am now rather militant when it comes to idiots like this
