Or not - 'spose most people aren't as inclined to use spanners these days.

Totally agree Zippy. I relish the chance to use my spanners.

Perfect. Much appreciated. Shall I PayPal you?

Sorted.

Cheers.

I had a hoot yesterday riding the fat bike. But that was yesterday. Way more snow today and wind is whipping up the powdery snow. Currently defrosting my dog with a fire on. He was covered in snow balls. Good luck to you if you go out on your bikes.

Not a daft idea. People have been bodging that kind of bike in their sheds for years. I first tried it with an On One Inbred 26" wheeled bike about 15 years ago. It received a big whack with the ugly stick to get it feeling right. Then again with an Inbred 29er couple of years ago. Finally just...

Having done this route when you first planned your Borders350 and the current route, this one going into the beeftub gets my vote. Makes the hike a bike worthwhile But and it is a big but that is a tricky step to negotiate loaded and after a good few hours on the move.

It was supposed to be a gravel ride......... The idea was to do some of the route yet to be released for The Dirty Free(ver). I've been sworn to secrecy so no route notes. An episode of viral arthritis was still plaguing me so I thought I'd take my fat bike. Nice sit up ride position. I also suspect...

Not sure what's happened here.

If you've never built a wheel before then I would recommend buying this book https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php It will tell you all you need to know to finish up with a wheel as good as any you could buy. It also explains how to measure the hub and rim to use the on-line calculator ...

87kg.
I think it's the same since my last weigh in.

Apologies for missing weigh in last Friday and yesterday. Few things going on just now. I'll be back on board next Friday.

Hello there. Interested in this for my partner. Can you send photos to
Pushbikemike at hotmail dot com please.

Cheers

[quote=Mike, those are the very two bits I've not ridden. I would be grateful if you could let me know how you get on on the R/R bit. I'm sure it'll be fine as it's a way marked route.

Thanks Ollie, I remember wondering when you where going to post the last bit. Yes, there will be a 2018 group start, first Saturday of July, registration from 1st March. If you don't fancy doing the full 350 then I'm contemplating adding in a 220 too, same date and time, same start point. Would tha...

Aye, it was an 8 hour drive for Ray and I. Road works played a part in that. Maybe we can coax ray to return this year too.

I'm in. It clashes with the Badger Divide Group start but since I've not been to Wales since 2013 WRT I thought I'd pop down and ride around a bit seeing as it's a special occasion

Be good to see you again Mike, .

You too Ray. A bike ride. Some whisky and a catchup are in order.

I'm a possible for this.

Pm sent. Let me know how you would like paying.

Mike

Interested. Can I check if they are black or silver?

Am I ever going to be warm in my hammock in the winter? I'm using Cumulus kit - a Taiga 360 hammock quilt and a Selva 300 under quilt. I was really careful how I hung the under quilt - it hung an inch under the hammock and when I put my hand in there, felt warm. Last night was cold but not freezing...

Interested me.
I'm grateful for the time and effort you put into these things. Thank you.
