Re: Lock-down projects
Wow :o That puts my 'writing on wiggle boxes with a sharpie' to shame :lol: That also seemed to escalate quickly, you went form tiding the shed to building guest accommodation in a few easy steps :smile: :lol: I should have added, it's the Drinks Den now :wink: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

Re: Lock-down projects
I'm not sure how I missed this thread but here's my project from Lockdown 1. My typical shed with literally everything thrown in. It was so annoying to get a bike out, luckily I had a van at the time which the bike(s) lived in some of the time. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49930795907_24e5ef8...

Re: This weekends Virtual Winter Event - postponed
Don't forget that by putting a quote of the Boris 'rules' on here may not be the same for Wales & Scotland. There are some differences.

Re: January's Virtual Winter Event 2021 (Covid lockdown edition) Jan 9th and 10th
Will probably get the nearest one's to me over the weekend. As Wales has been in a lockdown since 20th December, I wasn't that confident at getting my loop done. I only said last night in a chat that it'll be a good one to do in the spring......

Rear light?
I'm hoping to get some help from you guys, I'm after a decent rear light. I did have my eye on the Exposure Tracer but the bracket sits loose on the chainstay after visiting my LBS and there's also a risk of it going into the spokes. Thing is as I use a seatpack there's no way of attaching to the se...

Thanks Stu.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sun Jan 03, 2021 1:57 pm Some laminate floor ccf underlay will work Jeff but a mat with an R value (old standard) of 4 or more should be okay on snow.
So is that the foamy stuff about 3mm thick that can be rolled?

Re: Sleeping mat cold spot.
As we're on the topic and not waiting to hijack the thread, quick question.... I was tempted to bag my first 'snow camp' the other night but jibbed out. If in a tent or under a tarp, what do you suggest going under the mat which would reduce the cold coming through? My mat is an Exped Lite 5M which ...

Re: winter cycling trousers ?
I use the Gore C3 Trousers. Can't fault them tbh. During this colder times, I wear some cheapo bibs under them and don't feel any cold at all.

Re: Todays ride
As the hills still had their winter jacket on I had to get out again. This time from the front door up Conwy mountain and up to Tal y Fan (where the snow was). It was a bit deep a fluffy in places but still so much fun. It was a mud bath lower down though... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50791...

Re: Todays ride
Went back out into the hills this morning, this time up to Cwm Eigiau. Better conditions as the snow is firmer for riding on. I even managed a brew at the Cwm too in the remnants of an old quarry building which I've got my eye on for a future bivvy spot. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/507796705...

Re: Gaiters ?
I'm not sure of the make of mine but they are the half lengths ones, so just come up half way up your shins. I wore them yesterday under my trousers and my feet were dry. They do make a hell of a difference especially when riding in the snow/slush.

Re: Todays ride
We got a snow drop on the Carneddau overnight so today was play time. Headed up to Llyn Melynllyn and back. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50770581223_af46b81d29_c.jpg IMG_20201228_143912_559 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50771325576_ff1fcc126c_c.jpg IMG_20201228...

Here's mine, thanks Dave :roll: I'm starting near Conwy at the top center and heading clockwise. If I bag 2 GR's I'll be happy because the figures to the left look concerning! It might be doable in the summer.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50769362883_ff8941f897_c.jpg BB2021a by Jeff Price ...

Re: What are your feelings about next year?
I'm not hopeful of much of a change in 2021 tbh. Like most others I feel the first half of the year will be a rollercoaster of mini lockdowns as numbers rise and fall. I'd love to pack the bike in the car for a week in the Highlands but I can't see that happening till at least October. I can't see e...

Re: Todays ride
Went out on the skinny bike today from the front door. I soon hit the coastal cycle path (#5) at Conwy and headed west as far as Abergwyngregyn. It was after the first few miles I realised I'd put the wrong gloves on, christ it was chilly on the fingers! From Aber I headed up the killer tarmac climb...

Well given today's news, I'll be surprised if we can get out for this, ffs.
We might end up riding up and down our own street and kipping in the shed!
