Evening all, I'm new to the forum/bikepacking and was inspired by all the amazing posts to try the 'Bivvy a Month' challenge. Possibly a daft question, so do humour me! Can I start this month and carry on till next October, or do I have to wait until January to begin? Many thanks!: ) Welcome, I sta...

I've tried the Adventure foods Carbonara and the muesli breakfast found them pretty tasty, tried Wayfarer when I started out but not my cuppa tea tbh

Can this be started anywhere on the route as its reasonably close to Corwen for me, may have a dabble next year.

Well done on finishing Matt, was a proper tough route

I packed reasonably light with just bivvy bag, down jacket, leggings and thick socks for emergency sleep You seem to have missed sleeping bag off that list Lee. With it being as warm as it was what I'd taken would of done the trick, thankfully it kept me pedalling. Great to meet and ride with you H...

Hi peeps, after entering the previous 4 BB200 events (2x shoulder injuries, 1x covid & 1x head not in the game) this was the first one I've actually made to the start line (so 1st one in 5 attempts :roll: ) so that in itself was a win in my book. I packed reasonably light with just bivvy bag, sl...

Some tubeless valves, now fitted and sealed up. That means my new Fairlight Holt is ready to ride. Just sitting on it feels world's apart from the Stooge I've been riding for years and I can't remember the last time I rode a bike with suspension. There's a strong temptation to ride it this weekend ...

Bar tape 2x new tubes and still waiting on 2x new tyres for the lads road bike. He wanted to try a road bike and as it was a bit of a steal at £150 for a full carbon Ribble off a work colleague its worth a few new bits to tidy it up, personally I think it'll be sold on as he's more football than cyc...

Thanks for the write up Phil, glad to jump on the award train :lol: :-bd 'Tis the end of the third quarter! And what a summer... A fair few cheeky bivvys this time which is always good to see and some fine outside catering. As of now I have the following as being still up to date. I'm awaiting Boab ...

Cracking riding & pics Boab, great prep for the BB200

Leerowe76

Using 2.35 Ground Control Grid F&R cuz there on the bike and can't be fluffed changing

plus they are quite comfy on the rigid

Leerowe76

Will be pulling the Reba fork off in favour of the rigid on the Big Bro for the winter and probably before the BB200, more than likely be hanging the Full suss up for the winter for the arrival of the slop around North Wales bridlepaths etc

I certainly didn't have the (bowling) balls to bed down on the green itself :lol: the security lights were very sensitive throughout the night and with houses just over the hedge I thought best stay out of view but did also remove the Tango can from under my bench and a few others from around the in...

September BAM inbetween my days and nights :| I had serious doubts over this one as I really couldn't be ar**d for some reason and especially after steak & chips for tea, but just after 9pm I sprung into action with a vague plan to get out and get it done seems the weather was playing ball and n...

What/how were the logistics for this trip mate

Leerowe76

I use Gunk (the green one) water based & biodegradable from the likes of Halfords etc works a treat, Just don't go for the red one as its naughty for the environment

Leerowe76

Brilliant pics looks an epic trip mate, wouldn't mind something along those lines in the future having rode the RDGA Geneva to Nice on road bikes a few years back

August BAM Report So guess what, got it done with 59 minutes to spare. Not much to report to be honest, rode for 2.2 mile with a massive 157ft of climbing at 23:01hrs and leaving for home at 04:32 for another equally demanding ride of 2.1 mile and 49ft of climbing with a partially loaded bike carryi...
