Re: Oh Crap!
Get some Star bars down yer ... you'll be right ;) we've got some mates out here at the minute and one of the payments for picking them up from the train station was a selection of uk chocolate bars (of which the Starbar featured heavily) but unfortunately i've eaten my quota already - maybe i can ...

Re: Oh Crap!
i survived! did the 24km course in just under 2 hours which i'm happy enough with considering it had 1000m of alt gain and was really technical. Good luck ... don't worry too much about the lycra, they might be all short course xc whippets and blow up after the first day* *Or they may not. hopefully...

Re: Long, hot and knackered!
thanks for the bite-sympathy folks!
by the next morning it had subsided and i was just left with a pain where the bite was (like i'd been hit in the head with a stick).

Re: New Cordillera book, OUT NOW
any chance you guys know if i can use the eBook format on an iPod touch???
i also saw that V2 is available on eBook and thought it would make for a good read for when i'm feeling the pain in the Alps.

Long, hot and knackered!
Evening! On Friday I went on another 24 hour 'training trip' which turned out to be a real humdinger of a ride! I wanted to have the most riding time on both Friday and Saturday and so I set-off at 14:00 which would give me approximately 6-7 hours of solid daylight on each day and enable me to do a ...

Re: The Return of the Ardeche Gorge!
fair enough. i may be away that week but if not (and you have a bike or would be happy to use one of mine) then there's some nice riding around Largentière (though i've not ridden that much of it). the kayak/bivi option is always good (we did it last year). they sting you with making you stay in one...
