Thanks all. Another great year. Nice cake, decent weather.

I did find out the true weight of my heaviest bike (and trailer and child) : 71kg/ 156.5 lbs. Despite that we made it to Aberystwyth for an ice cream and back.

Screen,
bar mounts X2
& case only.

Power button has worn through. So the front part of case isn't much use. Back part is.
Yours for postage, alternatively collect at WRT

Edit: Now promised

Thanks to Stu and Dee for organising another great event. Seems they even ordered some good weather this year. I missed the weigh in, expecting to get heaviest bike with 65.5kg /144 lbs (including trailer & 4 year old child) The TLS approach failed when colouring books and stuffed bears were add...

Keep your eyes on the skies this weekend. It's the Eta Aquariid meteor shower's peak. With about 30 per hour, but possibly as high as 50.

Clouds permitting!

Sold

Have you replaced it since the summer?

"lasts up to 6 months"

I have a Blackburn seat post bag that's survived multiple trips. Just like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blackburn-Outpost-Seat-Pack-Multi-Colour/dp/B013X32B5C/ref=asc_df_B013X32B5C/ , but with more wear. It sways a bit which I've managed to reduce with some extra straps to the seat stays. Dry b...

Sounds excellent.
I do have an idea how hard it is. I've 18+ years experience of debugging. It'll be worth it for the donations

You could say it's about simplicity, less complexity. More reliable, less to go wrong. A spade is less hassle than ringing round getting quotes, arranging access, timing etc A handsaw makes less mess than than an electric one, and doesn't require an extension lead a brush is easier to put away than ...

I remember Wotsits asking Stu after, "what dogshit was that Stu". Reply came back something like, "wasn't like that just lastweek". Standard reply I think :grin: Was that the year I bumped into you after i'd slept in the disabled loo near Coed-y-Brenin, & we rode back with M...

2019

122 miles long, 4000+ meters. Almost a BB200 route.

Thanks. It's a long shot. I suspect it was shaken off the mount somewhere in the final parts of my ride.

Anyone know what this place is? It looked a lot like a bothy inside. It was padlocked. Perhaps a private one? Was in the forest on the way over from Mach to Abergynolwyn https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AJFCJaV3W0sOQAca965eG_rtcePfPJYELXupzWX585YQYNyUGV8ZANaaY2eLUxpiv_a2oXtCd-6d54Kb3MrgBvQCkrBIp...

I lost an exposure tracer rear light on my way back. Could be on the field, final descent into the farm, or anywhere before that. Could be anywhere really :???: A long shot, but if anyone is up that way anytime soon and miraculously spots it, please let me know. Looks like this: https://www.exposure...

Thank you Stu and Dee and everyone else! :-bd Thanks to Reg for the company on the first afternoon. (You'll be glad you didnt follow the rest of my route. There was a lot more hike a bike up steep hills! - some boulder strewn ones too !) I unfortunately missed the cake as I was the last back, but th...

Was a birthday present from my wife and somehow even though she knows almost nothing about bikepacking I had some lovely carbon poles too [/quote That's because your good lady won them. I told her to sell them to you - with a discount obviously :wink: She did explain. Thanks for the competition.

Got mine thanks Stu. Was a birthday present from my wife and somehow even though she knows almost nothing about bikepacking I had some lovely carbon poles too

I'll have to upgrade my tarpology knowledge now

Good Luck Shaf! I recall riding much of the 2019 200 with you.

Thanks Stu. I shall try it out

Just finalizing my WRT route.
Is there a way from Cwmystwyth or The Arch to Eisteddfa gurig through the forestry?
(The green dotted path from Ponterwyd towards Eisteddfa Gurig seems to run out at SN 794 826 which seems a bit odd) I was hoping to come down the hill onto this path

I believe the route planning is all part of the spirit of it. It adds to the adventure.

I see no harm in doing so. Why not try, see how many takers you get? You can always use previous ride GPXs and send several on the same route(s) as paces would be different.

I also travel from Malvern on Saturday morning
