Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Hopefully some were out last night. Down here at least the forecast from now until the end of the month is rain, he says smugly having managed to get out last week when the rain was only in the middle of the night :grin: I thought about last night, but it was absolutely hammering it down, all night...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Went on a road trip with daughter yesterday to get her a new pair of ice skates. Thankfully the £480 ones (😲!!!), that didn't even come with blades (another £150 - 180) were too uncomfortable. Got my skates sharpened, so we're off to the rink a mo' to try them out. Evens that we're both on our arses...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
For a change, I know exactly where that is, having cycled passed it on a few occasions now. It's always looked a bit too busy to pitch up at, but just where you hang a right to head back to the visitor centre, and tap, I've thought about going straight on, and kipping there, on the edge. :smile: Yo...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Not long back from the ice rink, where I had an accidental "sit down". My left wrist is now encased in tubigrip and I'll be taking all the drugs before going to bed. Was planning on a longish MTB ride tomorrow, not sure I'll be able to hold the bars with the left hand. 😞 Time to go and buy...

Just thought it might be of interest to those of us who ride partially to help control the amount of food going in.
How far do you need to ride to lose 1kg of fat?

Rollers
Finally got round to having a go on the rollers I picked up from slarge at the BB200. Utterly terrifying, mainly as the band powering the front wheel was slipping. https://media.bobarnott.com/gravel/2024-01-31-rollers.jpeg I noticed that a bolt had fallen off, so I tightened it up. There was a crunc...

Sleeping Socks
I've been having cold feet issues while sleeping on the last few BAMs. Rather than going out and splunking £49 , £79 , £120 , or even £149 on some down booties, I thought I might try some thicker socks first. Anyone used any of these socks that appear to come with a TOG rating...? Such as, but proba...

My feet were really cold, so I put on my big winter Sealskins over the big socks I was already wearing, this didn't really improve matters.

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
Pumped the rear tyre up way passed what it normally runs at, left it half an hour, or so, checked it was still inflated, then headed out. Went to the village pocket park, which is less than a mile from the house. Less cover than I was expecting, but then it's mostly deciduous trees. I realised when ...
