+1 BA, they were fantastic and cheap. my flights cost less then £100 each way and my bike was considered luggage.

I've not done a lot of riding so far this year, only managed a TPT and one very important first ride. https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18893348_10155491570554009_6269405940788766381_n.jpg?oh=7e8a9a20eec689a3d328e04b83557479&oe=59DA6920 https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1...

going to miss it this year
i have a new son though


Really enjoyed it last year, brilliant route and good company.


Have fun everyone who is going.

Congratulations Greg, and welcome to SAR :) Sounds like your assessment day was a lot of fun and hard work. My lowland rescue training wasn't nearly as exciting but was still good fun. I hope the rest of your training goes well. Good for you mate, hard work but ultimately rewarding and no doubt you'...

Cool,

send us a pm m8.

For sale is my Alpkit Kanga in black,
fantastic condition, only used twice.

Me and justin hit Nice today around 3pm.

Had to leave the course after tende due to lack time and supplys.

Beautiful course but bloody tough.
Good training for the bb200 though.

Well done to everyone who took part.

+1 for the park tool patches.

Always keep a pack in the saddle patch

On the GPS files in general .. I created the routes as GPS Route files in Bikehike, then added elevation with GPS Visualiser. As Gairy mentioned one may have been saved as a Track? I have a set of <500 point converted files that a rider sent to me, let me know if you want those. I've only ever used...

in woot woot

I'm flying with BA as they count the bike as check in luggage as long as it doesnt go over the weight limit. ( or so i'm told)
ryan air charge quite a bit more for a bike.

Flights booked and paid for,
Stanstead to Turin - Nice to Stanstead.

It does seem like a long way to go for some BB200 training though :)

well i'm glad i decided not to take the day off work so i didn't miss sign up. I have offered a packet premium biscuits to the person at work who was the first to remind me to sign up though. I've been counting down the days for the last month aswell. guess i'll have to start again....... 30 days left

Sounds like a good choice Lars.

Thinking down quilt and down jacket if needed. If I get to cold i'll find someone / something to cuddle up to.

I would suggest a marathon plus mtb

or a normal marathon plus is the biggest width you can find. i think they go to 38c

running them for a couple of years now and not one puncture

Wild Cat Tiger and a Welsh meths stove arrived this week.


Stooge frame hopefully next month. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

still torn between the cross and my felt 29er.
