Re: Bach to Bach grid references ...

Unfortunately, due to a handful of mechanicals, I only got as far as Old Street roundabout this morning (no gpx available).

I'm going to spend the day fixing my bike, I might be able to at least get out to Surrey tonight.

The fabric is http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Ripstop-Nylon-downproof-ultralight-7den-22g-sqm::1974.html with http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Cuben-fiber-laminate-12g-qm::1853.html for the baffles.

Re: Ever get bored of tracking miles?

I once did a couple of hill repeats, I put a lot of effort into the last lap attempting to get a PR on the segment. When I got home I found out that Strava hadn't tracked anything for whatever reason. I caught myself thinking that the ride had all been for nothing, as if the ride hadn't happened bec...

Re: Any London based folk keen for a weekend winter campout?

I'm up for a London based ride, I'm based in the north-west soon to move east.

I don't have any good ideas for destinations, I usually take the train to more remote areas.
