He certainly was!

Cheers for the photo Johnny :D

Did a very brief write up for work yesterday on the WRT

sympathy vote for chew, beats my grain of sand that i forgot to hand in at the finish...

First ever WRT and loved it, coming back next year with more mates too. Such a good event, nice and relaxed and everyone was very friendly :D Also thanks to Yetiman and Malcom (sorry, didnt catch your forum name) for the pub meet. First time i've got permission to sleep in a landlords garden :lol:

How about a tea towel, be a bit lighter?

Bag is 7kg
Bike with sleep bag+bivy+water is 14kg and thats a singlespeed

So, thats 21kg or 46lbs

Time to repack and ditch some kit i think, altough knowing myself, i'll add that extra layer of clothing, a bit more food etc...

-Multi-tool
-Pump
-3 tyre levers
-Mozzie repellent and sun-cream (both sit in my bag all year)

cheers s8tannorm, i've marked those on the map :D

Yetiman, General plan for me is to ride with my mate (he hasn't rode for a few months and i'm singlespeeding!) and go to either of the closest checkpoints. Then using mainly tracks/fireroads, start heading west to Glaslyn (8294) and dip southwest Nant-y-moch reservoir. We'll probably circle south ar...

excellent, thought just as much but wasn't sure!

I'm up for a pub meet on the saturday night, so i'll tag along to which ever pub is decided on :D

I've entered into the WRT lite and i'm not really sure what happens or the point of the weekend! So; 1) What happens at the checkpoints? Do i need to write down a code (or something) to prove i've been there? 2) Is it a race and fastest time/most checkpoints win (not that i'll be able to get to all ...
