Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Not sure I'll be riding this weekend, but taking my scout group on their mini-expedition tonight... couple of hours walk by headtorch tonight followed by pizza and a film or 2 in the scout hut we're sleeping in. Tomorrow's plan is a scenic walk home via houndkirk hill and stanage edge which should ...

Off to Dorset for a few days at the in-laws. Taking the bike and keeping fingers crossed for more cold, dry weather

Good spot!
"Weight restrictions" - isn't that a bit personal, or are they taking a hard-line approach to TLS principles?

26x2.4 inches of rubbery loveliness was just forced through my letterbox .

Re: Whats your trouser of choice?
Aldi "adventure trousers", on sale a few months ago. Black, stretchy, windproof, quick-drying and cheap enough (£13) not to worry about trashing them. And they fit .
Or if the weather's really gopping: waterproof shorts, Gore-Tex gaiters and walking boots.

Re: Easy / Shorter BP events
May I suggest the reader draws inspiration from the monthly RegRides, documented herewithin?
It provides plenty of suggestions for riders of a more civilised persuasion

Re: Are you analogue?
I'm also a bit fed up of the increasing rise in sprocket numbers with a need to go to electronic shifting to make 12 speed work. Hence use of one sprocket! 3x7 (22/32/42 & 11-32 on 26" wheels) gives me all the range I need. Any lower and I'd be too slow to stay upright :grin: . Just gone b...

Re: Are you analogue?
I am also on the look out for a Series III Land Rover to embrace a more simple way of motoring (simple means sh1t and unreliable, but with soul) Analogue Land Rovers are currently very overpriced and, as you say, corroded and unreliable :sad: . If you're looking for some minimalist, classic British...

Re: Are you analogue?
Given my age (32) and my job (web development) I would say I am unusually ‘analogue’. He says, typing this on his phone and wearing a smartwatch. I think peak analogue/manual was intentionally buying a second hand push mower and having to take it apart and sharpen the blade, instead of an electric ...

Re: Todays ride
Well, this weekend's really. My stepson's first cycle/camp/bivi/motorsport trip and most definitely not the sort of things he learned on DofE Gold :grin: . Friday : train to Penrith; cycle to Keswick for lunch, then ride to Borrowdale YHA to camp. £10 per person camping: £12 for 2 pints of beer (wha...

Re: Todays ride
Same route as yesterday, but with more sunshine .
Riding along Bulbarrow ridge gave me a lovely view of several small cloud inversions across Blackmore Vale .
Back to Beds today to prepare for "Storm Reg" on Thursday
