Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
My plans are all contingent on the first one which I've got almost no control of: Get the health issues that derailed most of last years plans sorted. WRT - I need to plan my route and kit better this time. TBA - i've got 3 days pencilled in for June for a trip somewhere - Traws Eryri is tempting bu...

I enjoyed that, makes me want to dust off my French and go ride a bike.

Re: Recommended me a tyre :)
I’d recommend resolutes as well, good grip in anything other than deep mud and not too draggy on the road. They’re overkill for pure road rides but I’m too lazy to switch them out.

He’s pretty stretched out and floofy in that pic. He’s going to be pretty big but nowhere near Maine Coon sized

Re: Recommend me a GPS
A garmin 1040 solar might be your answer (big screen, very long battery life, lots of processing power) but it’s a big chunk of change and unless you’re a racer a lot of features are novelty value only. Personally, I’d go for the much cheaper 540 solar and get the phone out for those occasions you n...

Bobike child seat
I need to make some space in the garage so getting rid of some long disused child bits - the price reflects that it's bulky so collection only from Stafford. Bobike Exclusive Tour child seat £30 (bike not included :grin:) The seat has a built in blinky but the battery is long dead so may not work. A...

Have you tried in a different browser? Have you tried clearing your browser cache? If it’s a css issue and you’re on a windows desktop, there’s a convoluted workaround you can do to inject custom css into the control to give yourself a cursor again but it’s painful since you have to do it on the eve...

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
It's reminiscent in looks of the early-mid 2000s hydroformed aluminium bikes that were all the rage for a while, not that that's a bad thing. Not cheap though. I don't use my full sus at all any more but looking at the price of new ones makes me reluctant to sell it because I'd never be able to just...

Re: Find That Bike website
Not sure why but the transport police seem to be more proactive. When my bike was nicked they had him on cctv and he was arrested within a week - too late for my bike of course but now I’m still getting the princely sum of 38 pence a month seven years later whenever he’s not in prison.

Re: Todays ride
I'll grudgingly admit that when we strayed inadvertently over the border on holiday last year, we tested a few from Leek Oatcakes and they were almost acceptable :wink: . Bonus points for selling them to us through the back window. I'm told you can buy oatcakes 'ready packaged' from supermarkets bu...

Re: Today's Run
Last nights run, but went on a local Halloween run in costume, with scarers, music and props at strategic points on the course. There must have been over 60 people with the vast majority in costume, it was a giggle. Running in a velour onesie was an experience, I probably lost a kilo.

No sooner do I commit to an event, I finally get my hospital appointment and have to cancel the training. Argh, back to gentle 5k runs for a few weeks.

Re: Today's Run
I took the new watch out for a run today in the rain - 11.3 km of character building wetness. I've signed up for a half marathon in delamere forest in 4 weeks on the back of running 15km a week for the last month, what can go wrong?

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
That is a very nice looking bike - going from the fact that there's 3 cables, is that an igh on the back?
