Re: Tour Divide 2016
Working on some stats while I whittle away my last day in the lab. Having access to a DXA scanner has its perks. Sadly, no superpowers as of yet. Lean mass changes over the past year - focused effort to get a correct balance of weight to muscle - I've an issue with either being too light and weak, o...

Ray - it's an 18 sorry!
FWIW - my 26er Inbred, currently in storage in Irl, is a bloody ace bike.

Re: Inbred 29er Owners. Happy with your lot?
I have a Mk2 ScandAl you have have when I get back from the Divide if you like. Won't be able to post it before I go I'm affraid. I think it's an 18? Straight steerer and so forth. Green if that matters.

Re: Decamping
As said before - oversized bags so you can cram things in.
Nice and tight kit bags look great in the kitchen or garden - but are a bugger when you're out, wet, cold, and trying to cram an extra burrito in.

How much fluid do you take in from a non decaffeinated source per day?

Re: Decamping
Richard G - after a day or two, when the headaches go away, I don't miss caffeine - if anything, I use it less when racing multi day things - occasional can of coke is about it. I find it makes me a bit too regular if I take on too much on multi day things. 24 hour races...all bets are off, I tend t...

Re: Decamping
Not timed it but I might also have an extra step or two in there for food/recovery drink. Not really ever been in "race mode", as above a lot has transferred over from alpine climbing bivies - the kit is a little different and you have more room but most of the principles are the same. Ag...

Re: 2016 Highland Trail (group start)
Good work Ian B! Sounds like a great way to finish. Have to admit to being inspired and impressed by guys like you and Alan that are out there every year. It says you truly enjoy it I think? .. as if it's as tough as I suspect then going back when you know what you're in for is admirable. (edit - b...

Re: Decamping
100% agree with JamesO - having come from an Alpine background too, I'm possibly more aware that faff time = danger time down the road. Stu - this approach goes out the window if I'm not racing. Add in a "open beer, drink beer, burp" stage to it. This is just a carry on from the race appro...

Not the chemical kind. A post from Richard G in the HTR thread had me thinking: ...I guess it's pretty damn important to be able to get your sleeping kit out as fast as possible and packed up as fast as possible too. Is that something you multi day people practice? I still stand by my belief that yo...

Didn't they stop decamping people years ago? Something about the ethics of it?
