I like the Ortleibs, my old commute used to take in a section of trail center, I used the smaller size, I also picked up a second spare lower hook to help hold the bags in place, exactly what the newer Garvel versions do.

Thanks for all the comments and advice all, it is really appreciated, I am glad it shouldn’t affect life too seriously once managed, seizures are short but can be brutal, thankfully I am fully aware when they to occur, going to look into an incident tracker for solo rides.

Hey forum dwellers, it has been some time since I last posted here, suffice to say I am having a pretty crap time of late. After popping a disc in my back I am currently I am on the cusp of being diagnosed with Epilepsy, I am presently off work long term sick, some how my head is not going to dark p...

Yes......and no, I have only ridden a few times since Christmas, a general desire to NOT be near a road and cars is fuelling it, I and actually going to seek out counselling to aid the anxiety issues, however I am walking a lot more, just to try and stay active and once this wind dies down a bit I a...

I have their M-kettle and a larger 1ltr kettle, I love them, only used the large one a few times but the M-kettle is used often

No weight loss, but I have been exercising, more walking for certain, had a few knee issues this week, I am looking at intermittent fasting, doing my research.

Bikepacking.com did a feature on the subject recently, should give you some insight, I use the Fuji system, I need to pick up one of the two pancake lens models, the camera will sit in a stem cell with ease.

Most road users will make it up as they go along anyway, nothing will change.

I miss them, I used to love the 3x10 set up on my old Surly Troll, 22/32/42 on the front and an 11-36 out back, I could get up everything and never had any issues at all, I tried 2x but never felt comfortable with it for some reason, I am just living with 1x11 until sense is seen and triples are res...

Had a less than ideal start to the year, I am amazed it is only a slight increase, fingers crossed I can make some progress now.

Great work all, having my first weigh in tomorrow, I have been struggling with a cold and the aftermath of a rough December.

I would go for an Orbea Wild HT, essentially an e-Loki which I really enjoyed. I have always been impressed with Orbea bikes, Neil the rep is one of the nicest blokes in the trade.

Morning all, back into work today, but not taking things seriously until Monday, still too much x-mas cake left lol, my main goal is 125kg for this year, and to ride the Devon Coast to Coast in 1-2 days anything more is a bonus.

I haven't done a Dartmoor bivvy in years, I need to get a couple in this year.

Count me in please. Lost my way a bit last year after a few curveballs, I am looking forward to trying again.

The carrier will probably add a fee for handling the customs charges. Although I just got a camera bag from Germany and I had no charges at all.

I am not a Christmas person in the slightest, it all feels so fake and has no real value to me, I would rather some one sat and genuinely talked to me than send a gift I really don't need (they cannot afford) or a card, this year is tough as we had a death in the family at the start of the month and...

Great collection of films, thanks for sharing!

Cracking set of video's, added to my inspiration list.

When I lived in Plymouth this used to happen every so often on the local trails, the police caught the offenders a couple of times, thankfully most traps did no harm. I think most offences are committed by people of a certain age and wealth bracket, the same people who never wanted to share stuff as...

Hopefully my wife.....well in hers, more fun. Actually hoping for some ND grad filters/holder for my camera. I don’t use mine anymore, exposure bracketing and photoshop have made them no longer necessary. I shoot film as well as digital, I try and get as much done outside of photoshop as I can
