Sounds like a good plan to me

As Mike has mentioned i've heard that the Tacx ones from Decathlon are good for the money (not tried them myself yet though)...

Does sound marginally worse than being stuck in a noisy & dusty, albeit warm, cardboard box factory...

Hope you dry out soon Scott :)

Had some Giro Terraduros for a few months now & they've been spot-on so far. Did several hours hike-a-bike over some rocky ground the other week (including climbing up Red Screes from the Kirkstone Pass) that would have crippled my feet in my old Mavic Screes without too much pain. Not as stiff ...

Had some 3M helitape off these before at a good price- http://www.vikingtapes.co.uk But for some reason the website doesn't seem to be working at present! :sad: Edit: Mobile site seems to be working?- http://www.vikingtapes.co.uk/c-167-bike-helicopter-tapes.aspx#.VdSdjGpMVxt This is the same clobber...

Atm i'm a possible for this as i should already be in riding in North Wales on the Sat Scott..

Will be in touch later in the week pal

Me & my beard were flying the Bear Bones flag at the 'Ard Rock Enduro 'All Mountain Challenge' this weekend.. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/313/20282592860_c3af260443_n.jpg Was uncharacteristically late setting off :wink: so had to battle a bit getting through traffic on the first few sections....

Will keep my eye out for a Subway too Scott

Whatever the wife buys. :grin: She won't let me go the supermarket with her, apparently the shop takes twice as long, but she buys non bio stuff, I think we've got some Ecover at the moment. Thanks Pirahna, might be a bit of a push for your wife to get me some too, i'll search out some Granny's Soa...

I'll pick us up some pizza & beer on the way

I always used clean shorts every day and think mine were caused by washing powder. I changed to using natural soap and the problems stopped. Topical for me atm this, after a few longer rides recently it's looked like my ass has been set about with a cheese grater when i've never really had problems...

Fancy this, but had sort of decided to do the MTL event, which i've not done for a few years & is on the same weekend..

Hmmm...

Vajazzle your custard, love it!!

No problem Chris, just let me know if you need anything knocking up & i'll get big Frank on it

Yes, but I need somewhere to put it...and I don't have 3 phase mains either. There's an inverter with it Chris, also know someone who might sell their Myford Super 7 inc base if you're interested.. Tbh i know they're one of those things that would be 'handy to have', but the reality is unless you'r...

Might be able to help with this if you get stuck..

And while we're on the subject does anybody want to buy a lathe?

An 'event' with no official start time sounds right up my street, i'm in

Good pictures, looks like a great trip

I've got Mary Bars on my SS & really like them, great if you want to try that shape of bar without breaking the bank

As long as it doesn't clash with ginger, i'm in

Anyone tried the likes of the Terra Nove Saturn hooped bivi? Seems quite an acceptable compromise between a bog standard bivi and one of the above lightweight tents. I've got a Terra Nova Jupiter, which i actually quite like. I just think of it as a bivi bag but the hoop gives you a little more hea...

No probs Stu

Yep, Taylor is right with NY316016 The quarry is in 2 parts though, the easiest access is from the North, although you then can't get through to the other part without scuba gear! The other entrance is at the south west corner were the gap in the low single wire fence is, it's a bit of a scramble to...

Went for a potter in the Lakes at the weekend, including a mooch to Hodge Close. Some potential bivi spots in the 'Rave Cave', although would be a bugger getting your bike down there!!.. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/542/19080724923_8f4d63af23_z.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/410/19515109309_ae...
