Re: Thank you.
Yes, thanks Dee and Stu. The thing I like most about BB200s is that they feel crafted. They're not routes that are just thrown togther to make 200/300km and as a consequence, even though they are a challenge, they are not a slog because they aren't boring. Even when you're faced with a Good Grief! W...

After reading these great posts about this year’s BB200 it makes me want to come out of BB200 “retirement “, next year Mac?? Got to be done Rob. If you don't climb those hills, they wither and die. I think we could make up the Home Guard section for next year. The harder it sounded the more I thoug...

Re: BB200 2023
When I got back to the school, Rich G was there, so it was nice to have a conversation with someone about the event rather than just buggering off home, it meant I could mentally draw a line under not finishing. It also goes without saying that it's always great to have those chats on the way round...

Re: BB200 2023
Thanks Stu.
The only thing that rankles is that I was ahead of where I expected to be with a shout at my best time ever but that's how the cookie crumbles, not that a cookie ever has chance to crumble in our house.

Re: BB200 2023
This is the first chance I've had to comment but well done everyone. I'll likely post a more detailed report after the weekend but for now: I had an off about a quarter of the way in and badly banged up my legs. I decided to continue to see how I went but after an initial easing up, my left leg and ...

Re: BB200 2023
^^^ That's a shame Shaf, sorry to hear it.
Well, with three hours until I hit the road, I'm nearly done faffing but I suspect that I'll still be messing about until 5 minutes before lift off.

Hello Tony - If it's a one-off, do you want to borrow them? I've got some you can use.

Re: BB200 2023
Thanks Stu - Numpty here just twigged what I'd done when I was walking the dogs and rushed back to edit my indiscretion. Sorry, I was overcome by a heady mix of exhilaration and dread when I typed it.

Re: BB200 2023
I've just fly-by'd it, never looks so bad that way. I'd like to get over the big lumpy bit before sunset, last time it was dark, how I laughed all the way across.

Re: The tyre amnesty thread - please join!
Got an embarrassing tyre collection you'd like to reduce? Too good to chuck but not worth selling? Post your tyres up and if they are of use to anyone they can have them for postage and perhaps feeding the bear to keep this virtual roof over our heads.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Went to Blackpool yesterday to scatter some ashes for a relative who started his working life in the RAF - Wasn't aware there was an air show on, so it was a nice touch that he went into the sea with a Typhoon making a racket overhead.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
My Friday was quite cheery. After a very sad preceding week, I went to fetch a Ti Olsen - Cheers David. Drove home with it ready to take it for a quick ride, walked into the kitchen, put the kettle on and turned round to be greeted by the sight of water pouring through the ceiling. I ran up to the b...
