Endura MT500 waterproof jackets (blue only) for £89.99 +postage on SportPursuit. I couldn't resist at that price. They had all sizes when I ordered (not sure what's left now). I've read mixed reviews of these (varying from rave to indifferent) but as I said I couldn't resist a £270rrp jacket for £8...

I also read online that Isla Bikes had ceased production... such a shame https://www.islabikes.co.uk/pages/cease-of-sale Yeah, this is the one that hurst the most. Bought multiple Islabikes for both the kids, fantastic things. Shame others wont get to experience them now... As for Wiggle, surprised...

Ooh ooh me please Bob, (if Ton doesn't want them obviously) Like all my tyres, they're extensively patched. At least one of which might benefit from a proper tubeless mushroom repair... I'll dig them out and take some photos. Plus what do you want for the conti and the two WTB's posted?? Nothing, j...

I have two part worn Jumbo Jims (26" x 4.80", Super Ground ADDIX SpeedGrip)?
I can dig them out and take a few photos if they're any use...

I have this saddle taking up space, it's the Selle Italia Model X Green Superflow . According to Selle Italia, it's L3 , or 145 mm in width, but the effective width is much, much less, due to to its curved nature; so this saddle is only suitable for those with narrow sit bones. I used it for a few t...

Right, time to try and reduce the pile of tyres in the shed... First up, a single Continental Terra Trail 700c x 40mm. Was the original rear tyre that I put on my gravel bike when I first built it. It's been run tubeless and tubed and comes with a Tannus Armour insert. As you can see, it's been punc...

Cracking sunrise this morning...

I have packable Galibier Tempest 2, while it's waterproof, it's about as breathable as a bin bag. I also have an Endura MT500 waterproof jacket, and while it's not particularly packable, in so far as it wont fit in your back pocket, it's packable enough that I can strap it to the front harness; whic...

Had a couple of spare hours this morning, so decided to get the gravel bike wheels setup for winter. Took off the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M and found bucket loads of thorns and what looks like a couple of nails. Got to love the combination of these tyres and the Orange Seal Endurance that I didn't ...

The cycling charity were over the moon with the parts and will certainly make better use of them than I ever would. Its something I'm going to try and do more regularly, rather than holding onto things 'just in case'. That's a great idea John, might try and find a similar charity near Cambridge and...

Any deck is better than no deck!

Oooooo, what are you looking at demoing...? Very happy with my recent Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary purchase.

My son is coming home from University for the weekend. That's pretty cheery, especially for his Mum...

This is obviously a gross over generalisation, but whatevhas. If you look at the photos from the other Welsh based event that was posted about recently, the number of lycra clad gravel bikers far out weights those on MTBs; plus, there are a number of those gravel bikes sporting tri-bars. I've ridden...

That would be grand, thanks!

Wiggle reportedly heading towards administration due to parent company funding woes

Meanwhile, Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group identified as prime candidate to swoop for e-commerce business

Will settle for 170mm cranks if anyone's got anything going spare...?

Can't really see a way to compact things or reduce weight, but open to any advice on packing etc! There is! Spend a lot of money... 🤣 To be slightly less facetious... I couldn't fit a shelter of any sort onto my bike when I started, as my RAB Atlas 800 was so bulky it took up the entire saddle bag,...

A few photos and videos. Sadly none in the dark which is when the real fun times were had: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pB4wcG9HB2ay7k6G6 Ah, those five Landies... They were not hanging around; came across them a bit further down. I had three behind me at the start of the trail, let them passed while ...

Thanks Dee and Stu! Still catching myself staring blankly into space for fifteen minutes wondering what the hell...
I'll call it early, sign me up for the BB300 next year.

Conway APA, picked up in Newtown Tesco on the way home...

That was probably the hardest thing I've ever done on a bike. 20 hours 20 minutes (ish). I just hope everyone got through the bollock deep river crossings of doom. Had to go back in and help slarge who was literally being swept away. 🫣 I'll do a proper update when I get home, but [insert diety here]...

If anyone stayed in Room 1 of The Wynnstay last weekend and left a white plug and black USB-C cable behind. Let me know and I'll post it on...

I hope so... Kaking it.
