Re: Bivvy a Month 2021
As far as I'm concerned, you were out on a bivvy trip on both the last day of one month, and the first day of the other. I don't see why one month has to take primacy over the other, though this does seem to raise some hackles. However, it is only one night, so you can't claim for both months. I thi...

Re: The Most Important Bikepacking Gear This Year!

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021
A couple of nights out to report for July. Trip 1: Headed out with a vague “somewhere” in mind. Found that somewhere to be full of people. Rode around in the dark, not wanting to put a light on and draw attention to myself. Went somewhere else, pitched camp by the light of the moon, then rolled down...

All except for two. MVDP crashed, pretty much all the rest of the field jumped it, but Schurter absolutely sent that drop, every lap.All except for one did what they were meant to do to not crash - jump.

Re: Why?
1b. Moisture can lead to degradation of the materials, leading to a lack of airtightness.

Re: Wales ride 2021
Really liked that James, thanks for sharing.
On the Gatewood and its slippery front doors, I find one or two of the magic clips from Joe's shop help.
This brought back some memories!...rode out of Brecon on roads that are a series of small 15% climbs and descents feeling physically deflated.

For anyone else who's interested, the etymology of entomology is from the Greek entomon (denoting an insect) + -logia (denoting a subject of study or interest).

Re: Somewhere between 8 and 22.
I'm stuck between "sounds ideal, but can I justify it when I already have the 8g version?" and "one can never have too many stoves".
I'm similarly torn by the copper-coloured mug (though am cautious of burnt lips, having previously been scalded by an aluminium mug).

But fruited cheese? Absolutely not. It's an abomination. Fruit in cheese is .... I can't even speak ... just gagging at the thought of it. It ruins the cheese. These are my people.
