Why break with tradition?

I think the limiting factors will be chainring clearance around the chainstay, and tyre clearance around the front mech and/or chain.

Ha, nice! Did she enjoy it?

New shoes day, turns out they're very comfy.
9.6km, 450m climbing up and down the Wrekin and Ercall. Bluebells are out, I saw a little gang of fallow deer in the woods, and the sun shone. Feeling good.

No loans, just savings.

I red pandas.
I've also just indulged in a bit of retail therapy (new running shoes), so feeling pretty cheery.

Pretty sure it's called Strava.

Carrying your own camping kit? I'm sure you could if you wanted to. The folk who set it up include Stef from Pannier, so they all kipped at his place in Castelton when they recce'd it.

I feel like I've been on a journey just reading about it! Looks ripe for loading up for a luxury bivvy (camp chair, wine.cooler, wood-fired.hot tub...).

Shirt please, I'll drop you a pm.

IPA not especially exciting. Kakawa chocolate stout (Thornbridge) much better.

Lidl have a few "specially brewed for Lidl by..." cans at the mo. I'm about to try Harbour's "Big On Sesh" IPA.

Kinlin TL-29 are serving me well. Not silly heavy, built up fine, relatively affordable. Also available branded as Halo for a few £££ more (and I'm pretty sure they're what Hunt use for their "Trail Wide" wheels). 29mm internal width has been great with tyres in the 2.4-2.6" range - y...

Probably not the deepest water encountered on one of Stu's events!

Did a short loop round the local woods at teatime yesterday, then out and back today along Froggatt Edge. Physio exercises seem to be helping, I'm aiming for some longer runs - 9.3km the longest so far since I re-did Couch to 5k.

Bane of my life, those bloody beads.

I had a friend who completely covered a frame in this, in a wood effect pattern.

Yup, Cheddar and kabanossi. Not pictured, curry spiced "ancient grain"* chips. They were pretty good. World's worthiest porridge this morning though. A cosy night's dozing on and off. Punctuated by rather more passing trucks from the local quarry than I'd anticipated throughout the early h...

As per the BAM thread, a very decadent BA stout from Brew York.

Left it a bit late (not helped by covid finally catching up with me), but here we are.

A Pontypanda?

Choices, choices... Crud XL front and rear, from Merlin - £36.50 RRP Proguard front and rear, from Sprockets - £52.33 Mudhugger front and rear, from Mudhugger - £62.49 🤔 Not developing GI issues from flying animal poop, not wearing out your nice riding clothes because they've been covered in a high...
