Re: Alps Divide Rally 2025

I think 15 bucks for a decent route is cool. Plus if there are 100 people out there should be a nice community vibe.

There are some videos on youtube from last years race which afaik follows the same route.

Feather Cycles - Steel/Stainless Frame and Fork

I bought this a while back. The previous owner had not looked after the paintwork, so it needed redoing. I didn't have a spare £800 for a Fat Creations paintjob, but it was suggested to me that a local powder coater would do a decent enough job. It took ages for the guy to get the job done and when ...

Hilleberg Akto Tent plus extra pole. Sold

I bought this last summer and have used it for a few nights, I've an eye on something else now.

Comes with an extra pole, but no pegs.

In excellent condition except for a tiny hole in the groundsheet (pictured with and without tenacious tape repair)

Re: Tour Divide 2025

We spent a good few hours in the Elevation Brewery in Poncha Springs after a morning in the Hospital in Salida.

As others have said if I went back to do it again I'd take a lot longer and enjoy various diversions along the way.

Re: Love them or hate them - Outdry - at long last

I'm going to add that on their first outing, mine have got a couple of gouges on the lower legs. I think I might glue on some cordura.

Parking at Tyndrum

Hi, does anyone know a good spot to leave a car for a week in or near Tyndrum?

I've paid £10 at the campsite before, but I'm pretty sure they're not open over winter.
