Re: Bear Bones 'note to self' top tube stickers.
Ned this collection of stickers from Charlie! How are said items obtained? :) You need to buy stuff from Charlie http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/ and be lucky with what stickers he has at the time of your order. My favourite one is this https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7341/27166038983_9c60abe207....

Re: Tour Divide 2016
What's Terry done to Mike's Tracker? On the main map (on my phone) he seems to have disappeared.

Terry looks to be taking highway 129 (or what ever they call the 129)Richard G wrote:He looks to have had a confusing few hours. I assume the only way to really go that wrong is to have your GPS fail on you.
Is that an old Tour route and he's using an old GPX?

Re: Tour Divide 2016
I'd love to do it, but doubt I could get a 5 week pass off work and most importantly ogg the wife. I think 100 miles a day would be my target to male the most of it and enjoy it.
Maybe I should try and do it next year just before I'm 50 as a treat to me.

Re: oddest place you've bivvied?
Tobermory Isle of Mull, toilet on the sea front after our tent on the campsite blew away in a storm.
Didn't get too much sleep though.
And next to the cafe on the top of Snowdon, woken every 20 to 30 minutes with walkers celebrating when completing the 3 peaks (never again)

Re: Tour Divide 2016
What I find incredible at this very minute, Mike Hall has now covered 50% more ground that our friend Greg May.
And I'm definitely not saying our Greg is slow, so what this hell is Mike taking to do that much more and be able stay awake for so much longer

If he continues at the same pace for the rest of the race he'll finish in (I think) roughly 10 and a half days!

Mike Hall stuck for hours near beginning. Something wrong? I'm no Mike Hall expert, but I seem to remember listening to him in the past, I believe he doesn't like "racing" at the front for the first few days, letting the in less experienced than himself blow themselves out as he makes up ...

Why would he use a pseudonym?
No offensive but he's hardly a rock star and do they even know him stateside?

Re: My stupid idea for today, thoughts?
My vote if for "Stupid idea"
It was put their for a reason by the bike designer.
"Good idea" if you can afford to risk the frame breaking and you are well under the weight of the bikes intended rider weight.
