We are hoping there is no intervention from the Tennessee state legislature, as we currently have seven runners in transition

Re: Who'd have thunk it, an interesting article on Road.cc?
I've done some flying this year to enable me to ride a bike abroad. I looked at alternatives, and whilst cycling there or getting trains and ferries would be possible. I didn't have the extra time required.

Re: What is the ultimate shelter
I've tried most one person tents and bivi shelters. I still have several.

Re: Strathpuffer on Drops - Will I Die?
By way on an update, I didn't die, but took an absolute battering: I spent way too long recovering rather than riding. Was ultimately really pleased with how it went given that, but would not recommend drops. Rich, hope you and Tom had a good one. Well done. Tom was saying it was particularly rough...

Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
I booked flights last year for 10 days in the Alps in June with Tom. The plan is to ride the TMB + something else whilst we are out there.
I would like to do something in Spain late in the year also.

Re: Yet another 2023 TdF trip
I think old TdF routes are great for a route as in the earlier editions, the end of one stage was the start of the next day's. It'd be a tough challenge matching their mileage every day though. Some days the winner would have been riding for ~19 hours :shock: If I go back and do another, I like the ...

Yet another 2023 TdF trip
https://i.imgur.com/xxGKl9W.jpg Those who know anything about my cycling in recent years will know that I usually do most of my riding with my son.

Thanks for the write-up James. You've reminded me that once upon a time I did a winter ascent of the N face of the Ailefroide, and that I should do a write up of my summer French trip. It truly is a marvelous place for bike touring.

2.4" would be a good compromise if you are rigid.
