Re: A Bike Race (around Wales)
^ good post that. PERSONALLY LIABLE. Tends to concentrate the mind a bit. I've heard that the food in Her Majesty's involuntary residential establishments is not what it used to be so best steer clear of them if possible. I'm just gearing up to do a bit more Bikeability and coaching this Autumn to k...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021
Always something to enjoy in your reports Sean. Liked the "700 years" quote about the railings - Elfen Safety innit. Knitted thingies are great. I once went through a little village on the coast north of Barmouth (Llanbedr? Talybont?) and there were loads of them, some life size, some not....

Re: Hydration vest for bikepacking
Swerve ball here ... I've also got a Ribz pack that I keep thinking would be great for colder rides (probably too hot otherwise*) as everything is easily to hand. *could actually prove useful on really cold rides. https://www.upadowna.org/wp-content/uploads/mail.jpeg I'm sure those are part of the ...

Re: What you done t' your bike today
I've run out of MTB/Clouseau innuendo now. We need Stu or Rich3rd to pop by and keep us going. Possibly a riff on 'nailing that berm' or something . It could veer into 'Allo 'Allo country too.

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Tested that there new 'Twin Cheeks' (or Professor Plums as Stu might call it) saddle. No more razor blades for me from now on, thank you. It's excellent. No sore 'bits' at all and very comfy, as I suppose you'd expect when your sit-bones are, well, sitting rather than perching like they have done wi...

Yep, pic please. Talking of exits (sorry Stu, I've turned it back :smile: . You'll have to restart the ball again now :lol: ), Sean Lock's sad early departure has left us the poorer.

161, it's a good map Reg. Oh, it might also be mentioned that apparently we will be following what I believe is known as 'a route', due to certain constraints which may become clear in the fullness of time. It's been explained to me what 'a route' is. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept, an...

It certainly is. Peter mentions farmers, but I'm sure you will have already sussed that being Reg & Co we'll be visiting bits of that map where we're most unlikely to be troubling any farmers .
