Re: Fat Fighters '24. The year for deflation!
Fri 12th Jan - 86.0kg Sat 9th Mar - 88.5kg Not sure what gone on there. Entered a marathon and runnng more, cycling less (cos target is 63miles or nothing which on hindsight might be a bit silly!). Lots of food going in I guess or maybe the muscles are becoming more dense. Belly still looks a bit p...

Re: Anyone local to these areas able to review (sections of) my route pls?
Thanks 'Frog at'... Them extra few metres of elevation were a hard fought find so will stay right in there. Regards gravel, just as we approach Manchester after (probably) the hardest push out of Huddersfield on the top edge of the Peaks (about 5 miles of slog with wind and full exposure... usually ...

Hi Shaf :cool: Your route looks like it goes actually past my house, (south of Wrexham) but the scale is wrong for me to be sure. I’ll pm you my location and you can confirm. Or you can send me the gpx. If you are coming my way, perhaps I can suggest some changes. Have you fixed a date yet. It’d be...

Move south a little here Shaf. Plenty of off road tracks over the mountains. Some may not be 100% legal RoW but they're well used by bikes. https://i.imgur.com/QeJFelE.jpg Already sorted that Stu. Have changed it to the singletrack paved roads just above the A5. At the end of this I think I'll prob...

A nice, flat well surfaced blast to the finish. Better than the A458, especially Mucklow Hill towards the end! https://www.komoot.com/tour/1506840282?share_token=a0OH7Acuxdnmmib3eBgdJuRaXMRj8GjU9A107TCe7wlLwzd86z&ref=wtd Appreciate that UtR... Does that mean I'm losing alot of my elevation? and...

NB. Update... I'm seeking out a 2 to 5 mins vid describing the answer. After that anyone that wants to take a shot feel free.
You got until midnight if anyone really wanted/needed a pump... 2 ticks, lemme review a few vids that are easier to follow.

We're gonna need some multiple choice Shaf. :lol: I might keep em for next eid prize giveaway (or maybe I needed a better prize to tempt people to seek out the answers). But... I'll share the answer anyway... Couple of people got it right but they didn't want a prize and it was sent me via PM so I'...

Re: Anyone local to these areas able to review (sections of) my route pls?
Your wonky maps appeared as I posted. I can do you a nice quiet road/canal towpath/bridleway route from Bridgnorth to the centre of Brum. I’d avoid the roads/route you’ve planned above Thanks UndertheRadars... That last bit we will be riding between about 0000 to about 0600 depending on rider. Doin...

Thanks to everyone that's already had some input. Managed to iron out a few glitches that I'd rather not have. Might still need to add some gravel as I may have removed mistakenly. https://i.imgur.com/mohlX9N.webp Mossley to Stretford https://i.imgur.com/lMB1Qwn.jpeg Stretford to Northwich https://i...

Travis Prong BOOST - did I sell it on here!?
Sorry about this. I'm left perplexed cos I recall putting it up for grabs briefly and no interest. Then the SIDs became available and I thought it's time to go back to suspension and that SIDs have come a long way since the olden days of constant-fettling SIDs. Then came the report from Allen that h...

Eid Mubarak Shaf :-bd At college there is about 20 kids in, out of 2000. 20 out of 2000 :shock: That's a massive ratio. I'm gonna guess your in London somewhere today Ben.
