I could do with a couple more hours on that sunset time.
Always much tougher in the dark to do the sections where there's no obvious route. Lights are a poor substitute for the sun.

Re: BB200 2023
I'm so glad I look over the routes so carefully. So is everyone else but more importantly, what's going on here. Can't be right can it? :shock: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFyN_fxSv1qPWPmcN5cBBut8b4AaNWNOjk684NrSogWu2vCVY6vRg5Au91aRPEeDo8V3xaFKQ72zDjhRp2rNOF-n9us2I_o...

Re: BB200 2023
There's a river crossing I can see, but I can't seem to see any sort of actual crossing... given the size of the river I really hope it's just the various satellite pics not being particularly detailed.

Re: BB200 2023
Cheers Stu. Not going anywhere near where I thought we were! Ah well! The 50km from around the 75km mark looks, err, interesting :shock: Riderdown - looks like anticlockwise to me. Not a great deal of... anything. Edit - Barely even on Strava heatmaps. Timings will be interesting. Going to be cutti...

Urghhh... I've done the section around half way (200) a few times before. It's a slog.

So apparently my order with Evans is still "processing". Clowns.
What's the odds everything magically goes out of stock.

06/01/22: 67.6kg
---- BIG GAP ----
15/09/2023: 62.7kg (-1.3kg)
22/09/2023: 61.9kg (-0.8kg)
29/09/2023: 61.3kg (-0.6kg)
Wont make 60kg for BB200, but I'd consider 59kg to 62kg my "race weight" range anyway, so not the end of the world.

Re: The great British train scandal
I was impressed in Spain. I don't have much experience other than there though.
If I do Badlands again I may even choose to fly into Madrid and take the train down from there to Granada (don't particularly enjoy coach trips as I can't walk around).

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Distance selling regs mean you can technically "cancel" the order no matter what they say anyway. Nothing they put in their T&Cs affects your statutory rights.

Quite the opposite. I have considered looking at my bike though.

Re: cheap packable down/insulated clothing ??
I bought a half decent set of down trousers from Amazon. They aren't light, but they seemed pretty decent. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0728P95FB I've since replaced them with a spendy set from Cumulus, but I'd still recommend the original. Fat Viking. Norway in January. :-bd I really fancy ...

Re: Trial Period Saddles
I've just measured my narrow arse, and found that it is, indeed, narrow.
Looks like 130mm saddles are the sweet spot for me, which does limit my choice somewhat... I guess that's a good thing though, there are already way too many choices out there.

Re: GPS Unit of choice?
I bought the Edge 1040 for the battery life, which is unquestionably fantastic... but dear god do I hate the unit. It's slow, and the interface choices are a complete mystery to me.
I loved my Edge 1000, so this is especially annoying to me.
