I ve just seen an ITT being attempted by DG on the ht550. Hope its not as hot up there... but fair play hes nearly at the OBH watering hole. Then somehow diving down in that rabbithole I found this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-57886203 about bothies remaining closed. Bac...

Hello! What do you think is the best way to Norfolk say from the Wiltshire area? Im assuming the ridgeway and chalke way? Im making plans for a family holiday getting the train from Devon to somewhere on the kennet and avon and then cycling to Martham boat yard near Acle in the Broads. Would like to...

Hi Steve I got your tracker across the line yesterday at about mid day. Yay! Javi jumped out a Bush at the finish with a beer, its the quickest hangover I've ever achieved. I had an exciting ride, peppered with all sorts of mini epics. Met Mart on his superb bike nr Drumbeg and Andrea in Glen Golly....

Go Mart go!

ive now slimmed down my pile of batteries!

Or may be 6 pairs

On a slightly different note can anyone tell me how long a pair of AA lithium batteries will last in a etrex 30? Am i right in thinking its about 16hrs? Remember Ian Fitz working it out and posting it in a previous ht550 thread but I cant find it. if im right that will be 5 pairs ill need. Ive used ...

I think one of the most inspiring rides was Adrian Baskerville when he completed in 2019 - just a caffeine powered amphibian. Nails.

Im in it as a relatively unfit sort. I told Alan Id be happy at the back of the staggered start and his response was "Johnny, no offence but I hadn't you in mind for pole position!" The truth always hurts... At the moment i have a good weather pile of kit and a bad weather pile of kit, but...

gone for superstar as they also do jockey wheels for rear mech. thanks for replies!

Hello everyone, has anyone experience of chainrings for sram eagle made by unite co? Theyre half the price of sram so obviously big question is are they any good? Im replacing my drive chain for the HT550 as well as other things so cash is running through my hands like water at the moment. Any feed ...

Grip grab neoprene ones were recommended here a few weeks back so I bought some. Ive paired them with their over shoes. Apart from the faff of getting all this on to go out, Im well chuffed. My feet have stayed warm and dry. ish.

About £165 plus postage?

Ive been really keen for a trip and been considering lots of similar options. If I'm going up before the end of the stag season on the 20th I think ill stick to the more popular options such as the outer loop with Glen Tilt. I might be overthinking this but I'd be a bit distracted expecting an awkwa...

For sure, open to offers on each item price delivery etc

Theres a piece in the guardian today about Jocks road - https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/oct/06/walking-adventure-in-scottish-highlands-jocks-road-history-grampian-scenery It includes an interesting link to the refurb of Davie's Bourach. I stopped there once - briefly - but it looks a good sp...

Thats probably what he was told when he was on the footpath!

After a couple of years drooling over new bikes Ive taken delivery of a new trek top fuel and its had its first taste of whats in store for it - poor creature- with two nights out on the amazing byways and bridleways of Dorset. Really pleased with it. Last night I ragged it round the Teign valley ne...

Hello everyone, not sure if its been posted but I see Barry Godin has has posted a new film. Some cheeky chances undertaken with access - which at this point in our lives raises a whole bigger debate - but the films another fun blast through some great looking countryside.

This is definitely not a challenge to the sort of lightweight camping we enjoy when walking or biking. Its trying to deal with the car based camping and out of control scenes already described here. Fly camping sums it up perfectly. But to answer the original question - yes i reckon its a sign of th...

Good to know about cable extension. Any thoughts or solution on how to mount the redeye to the rack. I have a Tubus logo so too small diameter for the standard redeye mount and rubber band
