Re: All the things that could go wrong

Three of us loaded the car for an overnighter. Only two bike racks so two bikes on the roof and split the rear seats to put the third bike in the back of the car. Drove 90 minutes to the ride start and realised we'd left the front wheel of the third bike at home when loading the car. D'oh ,!!! :lol:

I've stayed at the Aleppo before and would definitely stay again.

Easy enough to get to the towers the next morning

Trangia kit - too bulky for bikepacking?

So I'm getting bored of expedition meals/noodles on trips and my JetBoil is a bit of a one trick pony. My customary down the rabbit hole YouTube searching has found me stumbling across Trangia videos. Part of me thinks that although they could be great for nice meals but I reckon they'd be too bulky...

Just giving this a cheeky bump as I'm coming to the WRT this weekend and could bring it down with me.

wtd 29" QR bouncy forks

Hi all,

Looking to upgrade my 29" rigid SS with a set of bouncy forks to give my wrists a bit of a rest (need to be QR).

Does anyone have a pair they want to part with please?

Don't really want to spend mega bucks.

Cheers :-bd

wtd - shonky smart phone

Hi all, I'm after an old mobile if anyone has one knocking around please.

I don't need it to make calls, just to load with music and bluetooth to a speaker.

Don't want anything expensive really, possibly just postage and beer tokens or a donation to the bear.

cheers :-bd

The Rebellion Way

A couple of us are doing the Rebellion Way in a couple of weeks.

Has anyone ridden it, any hints or tips to share like essential food stops?

Also, what's the wild camping like on route.

Cheers 👍
