Thank you, that put a little bit of joy into the day.

I've never met Mike but his results have been astounding. Dot watching and reading the forums meant an epic finish was on the cards. We've lost both a legend and the most compulsive cycling viewing that eclipses all the recent British cycling achievements. I can't think of any other deaths that have...

About 6mins in, shows a photo of one of the emergency shelters that are around the coast. Probably no use for cycling though?

Great event, great experiences, great scenery, great adventure and great fun.

Enjoy yourself.

Gutted, got to spend the weekend in Cardiff, whitewater paddling at CIWW & drinking beer on a friends stag do.
Still, atleast i've got time to get fit for WRT 2018!

Cheers Rob

Cheers guy's for the advice, not so sure about the anchovies? ;-)

Black Friday won... New 27.5+ bike* on it's way but anyone care to explain this tubeless stuff? Do punctures happen? what do you do? what about changing tyres?


Any advice?

Cheers Rob



P.s. Charge Cooker - I like the colour!

Always good to read the posts, kit, gear, routes & thoughts.... even if I probably wont ever do the event.

So good luck everyone with the event!

Cheers Rob

Not so much the postman but feel the need to share... Found these at a local outdoor shop (Taunton Leisure @ Exeter) http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/Robbokayak/DSCF6209.jpg Could be a useful idea. Put it on the lip of the mug after it's been on the stove. Happy Hot Lips everyone! I'll never...

New Bike Friday? Bought form the local bike shop after I rang them & mentioned the Swintertons price. Not an exact price match but good enough to still feel a warm glow of keeping it local. Now, what tyres for on slightly rougher trails? What pressures. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj85/Ro...

Not biking or bivi but... New Quay on the Tamar.

No photo i'm afraid but the local asda's (Paignton, Devon) have cheap 2 led head torches with a proper sliding switch for £1.25. Probably not much more weight than the Petzl e+lite zip emergency head torch Good enough for a back up or in the car. Ideal for loading the toys back on the car roof in th...

Well, thanks to Stu & the Bearbones newsletter discount code, the postman delivered the new bikepacking book.... But now not sure whether to enter the next WRT now that the secret is out in in print! ;-) Also had a trip to the LBS & came away with the Genesis catalogue. Also noted that the l...

I don't know about twilight zone, but I find myself in the disappointment zone. We had planned a 128 mile route. Basically a clockwise route taking in around half of the GRs. However, it was apparent by the time we got to Aberdovey that this was going to be too much. My buddy was already knackered,...

Yay, booked on for the yearly dose of big hills, epic views & great cake!

Looking forward to it! Rob

Thanks to Stu and Dee for another great weekend. Cheers also to Darbeeze for another great route around Wales. Highlights included the bivvy in the old woods, Strata Florida and just getting into the trail cafe before the rain lashed down. Stu making us a cuppa at the end was most welcome too. See y...

Hi, For this years WRT I had Schwalbe Land Cruiser MTB Tyres on as our route included a reasonably amount of road & the off road sections were fine. They may be heavier than some but I reckoned the central tread would help & the puncture resistance would be useful. Certainly it was smooth on...
