Re: Sept with Sean (and Andy, and also Reg, Verena, Hux and Ralph)
Great 1st installment Sean, been looking forward to reading about this ride :-bd You're right, there's no let-up riding canals, I sometimes ride the Monmouth & Brecon as a level(ish) route into Brecon Beacons and it's a real arse-acher! Still wondering why you rode all the way to the Kennet &...

Re: Sun, hills, rivers and trails
I don't think so!...this will be very dull I'm afraid. Normal Bikepacking (TM)...
Reading stuff like that just inspires me to make the time to spend a week or so riding and camping 'north of the border' again; it's been too long.

Re: "Wye?". No, no.The question is of course "Wye not?"
It'll be hard to add to the story with what's been written so far but I'll try to add a few more words if anyone is still interested! We were lucky. We had ideal weather conditions and not a drop of rain all weekend 🌞😎. Kev and myself didn't bother with tarps and despite heavy dews I had very little...

Re: What are you listening to now?
Not listening to as such but I bumped into the drummer from EMF yesterday. Had a good chinwag, he's started collecting vintage drum sets, mostly wood framed and has moved into a place local to me.

Re: Not getting out there, wasting time (and my life) instead
There's a number of Boners, generally leaning to the tramp side of things, who seem to be willing to occasionally have Reg along with them... I confess to being one such boner but my motivation for #ridingwithReg is to get all the really wet weather out of the way so that I can enjoy my own rides i...

Re: Not getting out there, wasting time (and my life) instead
I've built two campervans, renovated my flat back in the city and turned it in a successful holiday let business, done huge amounts of DIY at her house to sort rising damp and also built a (admittedly small) commercial brewery I intend to start as a wee business (I have a masters degree in brewing ...

Am I the only one who is caught up in a habit of wasting my time thinking about, planning and buying things for adventures, events, trips etc but not actually doing ANYTHING?? The only one?

pm me your pp Allen and I'll have the cranks - I'm assuming it was the pedals that kvragu wants and not the cranks so better allow time for them to confirm that!
Cheers.

Who actually came up with the term "gravel bike" in the first place? I mean, those repack boys were riding gravel before they introduced the "mountain bike". Anyway, I'm just off out to drive a couple of hundred miles to my nearest mountain. Guess which bike I'm taking...? :lol: ...
