In case anyone else is interested I emailed them to ask about these - "The first batch went on late last night and I'm afraid all 5 sold out, we were REALLY shocked at how quickly (we're talking minutes). There will be more in the next week or so, sorry you missed out this time." It's a bi...

shows as sold out????

"i just went out and rode what i found irrespective of legality."

Yeah I did this for 11 years in Tipperary where I lived, not that there was huge amounts. I had a cross bike I rode there alot as much of it was just fireroads.

My wife found it even more frustraiting with a horse

it's a bummer but you do really need local knowledge there and even then...

or the theifs road back to peebles which could include the lower part of gt

I'm looking at options Innerleithen seems a good start point (whistle stop cafe or chipper) Ride SUW to St Mary's Loch, then up road to Megget and bothy If we included a 10 mile road section the next morning to Yarrowford we could head up the Minch Moor road and back to the top of Inners and finish ...

"A lonely place to die"

I watched that at the weekend too, utter pish

"The Road" my wife was depressed for weeks afterwards


4) The Hangover. Potentially least funny film ever

I am holding off for another week or so waiting on full details from Alpkit on their new bags...

Will have a look around some other stuff too

Sunset will be about 4pm I'd guess!

As per the Wales one, 8th Dec

Myself and Ray

Borders somewhere with a bothy

Anyone else?

good idea

I had the same problem when we did Mizen Head to Malin Head a few years back, I got the tent, the cookset and the food. She had so much room on her bike she took a full size pillow!

Have fun :)

I'm up for that. Got anything in mind?

Borders if it's left to me but I am easy

There are a few bothies on the SUW will have a look and report back

SPLITTERS!

hmmm anyone for a breakaway Scottish gala?

Veloista look good ta, need to work out what UK is in the shipping list to see the price :?

hope they aren't all red :!:

frame is a 16" inbred with only bottle bosses on the downtube so I think any kind of reasonable size frame bag means no usable bottle

think I'll hold fire and see what alpkit offer

will check out buggy bags properly but they look pretty heavy?

looks like plan b then, stick with small rucksack or learn to sew

It's not because of my dancing either it's because I am covered in a tomato relish.

Small tangle looks like £53 shipped, forgot about import duties and stuff, will I definately have to pay them?

Looks like I can't afford a proper frame bag so started looking at these. Anyone got a small tangle? Can you get much in it? Annoyingly even a small tangle will mean the bottle cage on the frame is unusable but that's not a deal breaker as I have 2 fork mounted cages.

I keep hoping someone else will bring out a better cage, hopefully with just 2 mounts. Failing that I may just buy a pair and get them modified. 2 decent mounts would be far better than the 3 weedy ones they come with.

They might just tempt me to take more stuff I don't need though.

yeah I saw the update on the WRT page...ofcourse it's even less than that now

I think te main thing which drove the weight down for me was the fact I I kept a prettly religious spreadsheet on the weights of everything when I was planning, and this gave a real insight into it - it was amazing just how quickly the weight piled on if I wasn't careful. I think I will do this nex...
