A lot of the bridleways inland can be very loose, washed out and overgrown, but there are some good ones too. Really it's luck of the draw. Chesil Beach is a no-biking zone according to their website, but I've ridden my fatty at Burton Bradstock. If you head west up to Eype, Downhouse farm, follow ...

That's exactly what I have done, Velocity duallys fitted with 3" Chronicles, and a set of P35's for other / road tyres.
I've got 4 other bikes of varying ages in the shed but the Jones is my " go to " bike for sure.

Hi, Jones plus owner here, I can honestly say that I love it! If I had to ride the length of the country, on road or off road it would be my bike of choice. It is supremely comfortable, I've done a number of 12 hour plus days on it. It did however take a month or two to get totally "at home&quo...

Singular cycles sell the excellent swift steel 29er fork for about 80 quid

I'd love to have a crack at it next year, it sounds like riding through Arizona but only a ferry ride away!
Good luck. A post race report would be great. Cheers.

It looks very appealing, warm and sunny, no sign of mud!

Hi I live in Bridport, and I would be more than happy to show you some nice rides on your maps, There are some good bits but as already mentioned the bridleways are best ridden on a horse!
PM me if you would like a chat,.

Get the Roger Musson e-book http://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php He describes how to build your own truing stand, apart from that the only tool you really need is a spoke key. Then it's patience. +1 also, I had never built a wheel before reading this ebook, I have now built 4 wheels tha...

I loaded three parts of a route onto etrex labeled day1 day2 day3. They arrived on etrex as route0 route1 route2 plus track0 etc and waypoints0 etc. Did yours keep the name you started with or change it on tx? Hi. the GPX file was labeled "Braunton 150" but when on my Etrex 20 it was call...

Success! GPX is loaded and found. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks all, I do have the GPX flle on my computer, so I connected my gps with the lead, it opened as a drive, I selected the GPX file and dragged and dropped it, it shows up in the Garmin folder,all good so far but I cannot find it on my GPS UNIT,I`ve looked under all of the various stones such as ...

Hello all, I am having a problem getting GPX tracks on to my Garmin Etrex 20, I know little about computers and am trying to download the Garmin communicator plug in through Chrome browser. It appears that Chrome is no longer suitable to do this, I am hoping for some help as what to do next, would a...

Would a groundsheet have worked to keep groundwater out in this situation? It would have certainly helped and depending on what it was made from should prevent any water reaching your bags. A bathtub groundsheet can be very useful too, although there is a small risk that any water finding its way i...

Looks like a perfect fit! What bags are those attached to the forks? Cheers.

A Ti Jones plus (when they are available} , big rims, big tyres

I like the name of the Moots Rigor mootis, especially suited to riding fully rigid no doubt!

It made me itch whilst watching, stockings on the arms could be worth a go!
Thanks for posting.

:)) :lol: Seems like this covers areas many of us visit. There was a topic on the potential closure of the Barmouth bridge recently, but it seems the potential for cuts relating to trails could be far wider reaching. http://singletrackworld.com/2015/10/the-gwynedd-challenge/ There are several propos...

Thanks Stu you make it look easy! I think I may still have to " phone a friend"

Hello, I have just bought an garmin Etrex 20 for the purpose of navigating the BB200, I have tell you now that with computers and tech etc I am amazingly stupid! How do I manage to get the gpx file (when it becomes available) onto my Etrex 20? I assume a download of some sort will be required? If an...

:-bd Great couple of days, thanks. My first attempt at bike packing and loved it, apart from........ Tarp blowing off in the dark and lying shivering in too thin a sleeping bag and bivvy in torrential rain! Seems quite funny now and want to go and do it again!! Also massive thanks to Lee and Mark as...

Hi, I live in southwest Dorset, 1 mile from "Broadchurch" or West Bay as its really named.
Some lovely bridlepaths inland and some massive cliffs with trails up and over them, hence my forum name as I ride single speed quite often!
Cheers, Rob.
