Re: Today's Run
Brisk does not even come close to the words I want to use. I'd probably opt to not run in those temps :) I’m certainly taking more notice of the weather report before I head out. We are 10 days into a cold spell with at least another week to go. It’s also important to take note of the humidity. As ...

Re: Wynnstay breakfast
is the Wynnstay officially the new Star then? I'll keep that in mind for the WRT. There aren't really (m)any other options. :wink: It may be short lived if Pauline has actually found a buyer :???: Good for her but maybe not so for those looking for bikepacking friendly and priced accommodation

Today, a squished 36T SRAM 36T direct mount chainwheel for the Kite. Since ordering, I found that I had the 40T chainwheel, rather than the 38T I thought was on for the Dartmoor 200 :| Makes me feel a little better about the hills I suppose. Also worthy a mention was the ebay GRX copy brake pads pur...

I think that is the sensible option. Though the path is wide and all gated, I'm sure someone at some point would take offence to a cyclist passing through

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th
A great route, and the timings/route work well for a ride through the night. With a 9am start and going around 10/12kmph, add a stop on Okehampton (the chip shop closes at 2pm but the bakery is still open at 2.15! has a toilet etc!), a final pub meal in Princetown, means the next stretch is easy te...

Re: How did Stu miss this - gravel
I've gone through two sets of brake pads (without using them) and full drive chain set, during a wet D2D ride. Only saving grace was the supplier of the bottom bracket had a trade stand there and accepted warranty!!
