Re: Words fail me.....

That's a porlex ceramic coffee grinder. A good companion to the aero press they were using. Those organic beans deserve a top quality grind. You can't take any chances when brewing coffee ;-) Consider me educated. I assumed that the brown bag actually had pre-ground in it. I'll stick to my sachets....

Re: Budget Bikepacking Bike?

I was with you until vbrakes.

I have no issue with v brakes in general but for a long day in the saddle where alot of brake dragging may occur I'd be rocking disks.

I can't see how disks are any worse than vbrakes in the kiss principle either!

Re: LIDAR Data Available via EA

I use Lidar all the time for work (which may well get me chased out of town around here)

I can do all the draping and stuff but i quite often just use google maps

I've never really seen any use for cycling other than maybe gradient profiles for routes.

It can be spectacularly innacurate!

Re: Sleeping cold

Get yourself a cheap foam mat.

Give it a try and see if you stay warmer if you do buy a better mat or just continue to use the cheap foam mat cut down to withing an inch of its life.
