Re: Self Isolation

If you start showing symptoms of an acute respiratory infection John you probably want to stop at home and put the central heating on.

Re: Face Masks.

The cat is going to catch food for us both if my own stocks eventually run out Reg,

And I've got a feeling that Fray B's are a clear indicator of panic buying so I'm only going to get one or two at once, lest anyone becomes suspicious.

Re: Face Masks.

Masks are really only any use to stop you spreading the disease to others by sneezing/coughing, and to lessen the chances of you touching your mouth/nose/eyes after coming into contact with others. They won't provide proper protection unless it's rated for aerosol-sized particles and even then only ...

Not sure whether it was official warranty but I noticed there was fluid coming out around the pistons after less than a year.

There was a batch of Deores from about 3 or 4 years ago that had that leaking problem. I took a set back and got newer replacements which have been rock solid.

Mike I've been through the exact same process over the last few years. Hope bearing lasting about 6 months. I've now gone back to the £20 Shimano BBs and they last about 3 times as long. The Hope BB shell is now sat on a shelf, silently mocking me. :sad:

Re: How to plan a route....

I find Strava's route builder to be by far the best way of plotting routes Ian. The amount of data they have means their heatmap is miles better than anyone else's and that will ultimately give you the best indication of what the most rideable trails are.

Re: Jenn Ride 2020

Others may disagree Stu but if you didn't want to do the full thing you could chop out the bit between 50 and 100km and not miss too much. Some very good riding on the home stretch and you'll want a bit of juice left in the legs for Garburn Pass.
