Blackhound - ITT later in the year would certainly have been quicker than the first 7 days in 2014, but I can't complain as I was OK for the following 2 weeks. I found the picnic table picture !

The top of the picnic bench in the picture above was only just poking out of the snow last year

Gabes frame is a Triton

And so the fun begins
Gabes has pulled 1/2 mile ahead of Alex Harris already

Good luck to all, Adventure with a capital A, its gonna be life changing or should that be arse changing

Stu,
Add me to the reserve list please.
Snooze u lose !!
Andy

I would be interested, depends on the dates

Taylor's a lucky boy

I am in, also waiting for approval

I have got the book and I am in the process of creating a GPX file ready for a crack at the route in the summer.
Its a bit of a ball ache plotting the route from the grid references and directions in the book, 25% of the
route is complete and is currently on my "to do" list.

I second what Scattamah said, although I think he forgot to mention snakes

Jonathan Kennett is calling for entries and has had 200 people show an interest and only
100 entries are being accepted so if you want to go to NZ get on it very soon

Its a good luck message from me as well, I am sure its gonna be cold and tough but thats
what will make it a real adventure, "one life, live it"

I am definitely in for this one, just starting to think when will be the best time to book flights

Continental inner tubes at Wiggle, not the multiple offers but the singular price

This is pretty cool

I used Race Kings on the TD as well, folding

I have always fancied the Patagonia expedition race because it looks amazing down there so a trip down South
would tick all the right boxes for me
Alaska and Tien Shan would also be amazing.

Phil,

If you email SPOT and request to cancel your subscription at the end of your year they will offer
you a "special offer" of $50ish reduction to renew, which is open for 5 days only.

I can recommend the Gore Alp X 2.0 GT AS Shorts they are really good and hardwearing, I have had 4,000 miles out of mine and they are still OK. The only problem is that this model has been discontinued and the replacement looks a bit dodgy ! I recently found my size of the old style at Rose bikes an...

This year I flew into Calgary and out of Phoenix with BA, booked the flights 11 months in advance for about the £850 mark and checked 6 weeks before I flew to see how clever I had been by booking early and the price was virtually the same :???: (Might not be the same this year though !!) I changed m...

Go on then, I like a challenge
I assume Stu will be taking part next year ?

Great link, feel like a kid in a sweet shop

My greatest fear is that my wife doesn't wait until I am dead

"Unfortunately" I'm planing to through-hike the PCT next year and won't be around April-October.

Good luck with the PCT that will be an amazing trip
