Coffee beer? It may well be ‘a bit hipster ‘ but you can legitimately have it for breakfast :-bd On a cheery note it’s friday, had another great week at my new job ( entertainment rigging) the highlight of which was a confetti cannon which came back accidentally in crate from Turkmenistan, naturally...

What about the Gruffalo

Currently tucked up in a cheeky bivy site near Bugbrooke in deepest Northamptonshire hoping that Brian keeps to schedule and arrives Saturday after I’m gone, already regretting site choice near a duck flight pond, noisy buggers

Anyone else silly enough to be out?

Anyone up for a short notice bivy near Northampton? I’m heading out from Bugbrooke after work, perhaps have a pint in the wharf then somewhere local, perhaps up the grand union. I’ve nor been out here since I started working here so limited knowledge but looks like plenty of potential spots within a...

I met a bikepacker who was called Al Mostyn, something to do with the cold weather I believe, could be the same bloke?

Can we have a reissue for 2018? worth riding through a Welsh bog for

A pair of stick on Angus (cattle not young) horns for your helmet?

My son has just brought one home from school, he’s currently playing ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC on it, I’m so proud.

I was in Halfords yesterday (NOT bike related) and they had good deals on chemical hand warmers, one in each pogie?

"How the f*** does that thing move!??"

Don’t worry we have it under control

Heated grips on motorcycles are one of the worlds great inventions

You can get heated over wraps which might be easier ( one grip would be sized to fit the throttle tube on standard heated grips)

And for when it gets chilly.....::

Mine goes up the fork leg and a heat shrink joint is stuffed up the fork, assuming you can get a wire up the fork the K-Lite top cap switch is ideal

I’m sure it would be easy to wire up a two way switch and mount it somewhere convenient.

Or classic HRC racing colours like the RC30, still the best looking race bike ever made in my opinion.

But with wheels

Seafoam green with pearl white accents, my favourite colour scheme for any bass guitar. You could add sparkle and other adornments depending on your predilections.

£300 What do they do, give you a w@nk?

character-building ? I was hoping for an easy last quarter of the season assuming jan and feb to be the hardest. Last October I pitched on dunkery beacon ( the highest point in exmoor) and had a great evening. There is something depressing about the dank sloppiness that is autumn, although I’m hopin...

Good on you ! I had to abandon Mrs dummy tonight who had just returned from a week away with her girlfriends, I softened her up with a surprise breakfast in bed, full English including baby Toms fried in butter with basil and some rather delicious black pudding from Scotland with caramelised apple, ...

Hilleburgs are really top notch if you want something bulletproof, I’ve had a nallo and an akto. The akto I found just too small, the build quality on bot was in a different league to anything else I’ve seen. As are the prices. I expect their mountain range ( black label?) could withstand a hurricane

Excellent bit of kit, no chance of ever losing your phone, I also have the car mount which works equally well.

I’m currently tucked up snug in my nordisk telemark2, it comes in at under a kilo and is very roomy. It’s also quick to put up, I’m usually laying on an inflated mat before most people have their tarps up. One feature I love is the door which can be guyed out tarp style using the end poles or a hand...

Jones Plus, the frame is a grand more than my ECR the titanium one FIVE GRAND more :o much I’d like one five big ones buys one hell of a trip. GDMBR and change is how I’d spend it.

perfect for throwing all your loot in that you find as you pedal from town to town in search of some remaining civilization! Sounds like the WRT :-bd seriously though one of the new salsa blackborrow mid tail fat bikes would be ideal or a big fat dummy. That way you could carrry a full sized shotgu...
