Plenty of info here for you V, fantastic riding and great weather what more could you ask for. We did it over 6 or 7 days

Well in V, looks great. I remember riding the RDGA from Geneva to Nice in 2019 absolutely loved it, would be back there in a shot if I could

Dean's 'Steele Roads and Woolly Hills' 400km is pretty good. Mostly road but some decent off-road bits including Cam High Road. Bristol Glasgow Bristol (1600km) also includes some good off-road - Cam High Road, Salter Fell, Kielder, Galloway forest, Rooley moor etc. but still predominantly (minor) ...

Is anyone still doing this? Is it Friday night?? I always thought the equinox was on 21st... If it is Friday that wouldn't be great for me as off to London early morning... Might do a token one Thursday night instead... Seems I finish my night shifts on the Friday morning seem like a good idea to h...

Did spot this the other day, looks a decent route tbf, something for the distance monkeys out there and the scenery comes as a bonus no matter what the weather

Like mentioned they seem good value for money, If I can find the love for the road bike again I'd love to get a few of these done

Multi tools are a funny one as we all don't really want to be using one as that would reflect badly on the poorly maintained bikes we ride, but recently bought this one and its nice and light, really small and has most things on it to pull you out the you know what although I'm happy to report I hav...

Dales 300 had me in bits from riding a rigid mtb on 2.2's, sore right wrist for 2 weeks and still suffering from what I think is hotfoot (not pleasant at all) so I'd be thinking pure comfort and use the fitness you have to ride and not getting rattled about

Anyone planning or planned anything for this, a big ride out or a bivi night etc

Based on my own personal experience I'd go for the Wahoo bolt over the Garminge units but thats me, battery life and ease of use knocks spots off the Garmin units. My 810 was probably the best of all till it got a little old then the gremlins set in and ruined the vibe with that unit went on to 820 ...

What's your experience been like with this bag Lee?

Works well mate, light enough for what I need super comfy and warm although not used in cold conditions as yet

Great read mate, well done & good to meet up with you albeit only for a short time

I'm pretty impressed with the Salsa cradle, used on this years Dales 300 and it didnt budge at all, very sturdy no squished cables. The only thing I had to get a hold of was a Exposure stem mount for my light as the bar bracket wouldn't fit on due to where the cradle mounts to the bars but the stem ...

On a road bike tho, how boring

Luckily I'm off the following week, never been too fussed with work on Monday's tho

Doin brilliant Steve, keep it up fella

Cheers Mart, will have a looksi

Got myself the Salsa Cradle, very happy with how it fits and how secure it feels although yet to test outdoors but will defo try it out this week sometime. Not overly confident in the straps supplied but will see how they are on a test ride, just looking at both the Salsa and the Revelate together I...
