Me and Mrs hoppy have got child care sorted now so are in.

Pmd you.

I'd be interested depending on the date, I was a bit gutted to miss the last one.

Don't suppose anyone has a small exped UL pumpbag surplus to their requirements that they'd be interested in moving on? Seems like there aren't any in the UK at the moment and bringing one in from the Netherlands was £28 just for the postage

If you're still looking vague outline of a loop. Wem to Clive, through Grinshill to Shawbury, Astley, tracks back up towards airbase then across to Hand all, Montford Bridge, Shrawardine, Nesscliffe, Ruyton-XI-Towns, Ellesmere, Loppington, Wem. Should be in the right ball park distance wise but it's...

Late to the party and discussion.... I am finally about to toe the line, had numerous entries but never got this far, mostly due to ill health, so super excited. Given dodgy health I am planning on doing a shorter ride, slowish, but with cake and some local knowledge. Would love a bit of company. N...

I think it's a whole £2 for the ferry and they're card only from what I read.

Swapped the kit over from the old stooge MK1 frame to the shiny new MK4. Spent the rest of the evening swearing profusely as I tried (unsuccessfully) to remove the seatpost from the frame.

At junctions you could just alternate between left and right.

There are some lovely looking mountains out near Yanbu on the red sea coast, look like they should have some potential but I just don't think there is much in the way of walking or riding (of any form) to have put much in the way of trails in. And it's really hot and the driving is properly terrifyi...

Have you done the trail to the north of Ben Fhada via Bealach an Sgairne? I've read that it's a better descent.

I have, it's the best descent I've done in the UK and right up there with the best anywhere.

More kit added.

Bit of a clear out from the hoppy household. Exposure Revo head unit, sold Specialized Rime shoes, sold Specialized sport road shoes, white. Size 43 (UK 8.5). Like new, but sold the road bike at the beginning of the year. £30 posted Fizik r3 road shoes (older version), white/black. Size 43 (UK 8.5)....

After moving across to b+ I'm selling my 29/29+ dynamo front wheel from my stooge.

It has an exposure pd-8 hub (qr fitting) and a h-plus son todstreib rim. The internal width is approx 27mm so it'll take standard or plus size tyres.

£150 ono. Now sold

Can it take bigger pictures?

Odd that, I see them sensible size on mobile but huge on the desktop. Oops.

Borah bivvy arrived. Nice and light. http://i.imgur.com/W8ypeVi.jpg Compact. http://i.imgur.com/f0GJVCd.jpg But roomy. Went for the wide version to make sure I can fit my fat ass in and its huge, I could have got away with a standard. http://i.imgur.com/1CDxyhE.jpg And a new phone for perusing this ...

Geograph is a huge help in scoping trail viability.

Nasty cheap thing at the moment, customised Borah gear side zip in transit at the moment.

Back roads and byways across to Bethesda then up the cycle route to one of the campsites below Tryfan. Next day take BOAT to Capel Road up to penypass turn off and track down to the bottom of the valley to minor road to Beddgelert. Forest tracks up to Road across to Nantlle then back to start on bac...

A wildcat lion and an osprey escapist 25. And quite excitingly the electronic postman sent an email saying my borah bivvy bag is in transit too.

Last year was the weekend of 14th June.

The more I look the more I see on that, as well as the silly head tube arrangement it's got a metric sub standard load of spacers fitted and then a negative rise stem, the saddle's gopping, needs a black drivetrain, looks daft with those wheels and I'm not sure that standard 29s would make it better...

You had your eyes tested recently?

What's with the head tube protruding so much above the top tube join?

I'd be mincing so badly I'd probably need my overnight kit it'd take me so long.

Yep. In parallel both off the hub connector. I've disconnected the C2C at the stem cap and the revo works fine, plug it in and I struggle to light up 4 leds. Suggests it's not the connection or a fault in either cable.

I was going to fit a switch but it seems daft to do it for a non working unit.
