Eric,
I have space for 1 person and 2 bikes. It's a Renault Kangoo type van. Happy to take one of you and all the stuff.
I don't know what time I'll be at the airport but it's some time late evening.

Better stop to sleep at the bothie before Ledmore junction and then maybe breakfast at Oykel Bridge. Going steady Huw

Very well explained by dc rainmaker

On Thursday evening I'll be around Glasgow airport and then driving to Tyndrum, aiming to sleep there same Thursday night. Let me know if anyone interested

Previous sp had developed some play and it was replaced for free, sent it in no time directly from Taiwan. Then it was 4 weeks heavy use last summer and no play or any other thing. I have to rewire any time I swap front wheel and I don't find anything wrong. I guess I'll need a multimeter or similar...

Hi, I have a shutter precision PD 8X and the Sinewave Revolution USB charger. It doesn't charge anything and I'd like to know if the problem is the dynamo or the sinewave. I don't have access to any other thing similarto the sinewave to check if it works or not. IWill I have to go for the Garmin Etr...

Nice write up, Nikk. One day I'll have to ride it.

I was browsing your blog a little bit and found some pics of the HTR '15 and put a big smile on my face. Can't wait for this year!

I know, but you've been brave enough to give it a go and see what happens.

I have no words. Amazing effort!! Not for me in winter conditions

Found Howard's spot tracker link. He's is 50km into the route, near Feshieway cottage

Fraser is at point 100km now . Never been there but it's at the highest point just by looking at the route profile. Sure he knows where is his limit. Scary!. Tom went to the outer loop before starting the climb to the top. Now he's 10km to Tomintoul.
Who else is out there?

Depends on how my knee recovers I could join you, any time after 3pm. Back to the city very early for me but don't mind. I'm also based in the north I've done some bits of the north part of the smoke ring until Dorking. Another easier option would be plotting a route following part of the national c...

Arriving at the cafe in Braunton at around 20:15 if anyone is around there?
I'm starting my ITT tomorrow

Interesting! I'll be there

I ddid half the blue trail from Budapest to the border with Slovakia. Amazing ancient route almost entirely 500km singletrack. It's hard so better plan 70-80km day maximum. http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=mszsbcvvjbfrjmqw Check out1000miles czech or similar. It's a bikepacking race in Slovakia a...

Hi, I live in London and the idea of a night out sounds good. I've done a few long distance routes from here. Done east London to Surrey hills, to Swinley, to Brighton off road and back on cycle lanes, to the start of the Ridgeway and back on the union canal, to St Albans...my cx and mtb both are ss...

Part II, please. Coffee is ready

I´m also using oval rings, Rotor Qx1 32 and 18 cog rear. As this was part of a new bike build I can´t really say exactly the difference back to back but I feel my muscles get less tired on long rides and on tech climbs it makes it easier. My problem is chain strecthes much quicker than round rings.

Tom, congratulations! That was fantastic performance!!!

Thanks Tom. I think it´s going to be sorted very quickly. I contacted Ison via the website form and Vic replied quickly and they are sending me a new one to this address in Spain. I´ll be here until 14th or 15th and it should arrive on time. Meanwhile, I´ll send mine to Ison UK. That´s a fantastic c...

It looks like Dave is on his 3!! knees

I´ve emailed to the suplier, a shop in Germany. I have to remove dynamo and send it back to them to check what´s wrong. They say they have never had a problem with the dynamo. Now I´m in Spain and in 10 days on my way to Alps, then on the move travelling until end of August. I think I´ll have to kee...

Hi Steve! Had a similar problem with the cache battery. My problem was the cable to the battery came loose very often. I had 3 choices and took the dodgy one. I'm using zendure battery. Had good reviews and it works fine. Had another brand before and failed after 2 or 3 uses. http://www.amazon.co.uk...
