As the Sonder BR is now built I should have a go at this.

Car park at the community woodland.

Building 3 crannogs, the village on land is worth a visit alone.

Got a ticket to celebrations at The Crannog Centre....

Thats a shame but will be other rides...

Just keen to get out, sorry

Hi Max :-H I can't make the 7th/8th but could do 12th/13th. That said I can't make any commitments with what's going on with my Dad just now so will be a case of me turning up if I can! I'll ruminate on some venues but bothying is getting a bit more of a dubious option these days, in terms of a gro...

Up for Scottish one also if not too far oop North

Old school? Anyways isnt really a thread to talk about biking or where, just looking for folk to actually meet up with for biking.

Just spent 3 nights up Loch Etive. Finished yesterday. (By kayak though). A great place for a lochside fire. It's Scotland, don't listen to the others. There is a great beach north of where the Kinglass enters. It's a couple of km long, so always some drift wood. But the trail to it may be too tame...

Nice! I'm too well aware how fortunate I am to live in this truly beautiful spot. It rains a bit, but when it isn't its spectacular! You will have caught the recent spell of dry weather! Know the spot you speak of, glen kinglass is a braw spot.

Hi Keith! Couldnt really class me as fast these days, but even when fit like the occasional steady one to get time to appreciate the views. Let me know where is good for you? Havent done much at all in the area so be mostly new. I stay on Southern edge of loch etive so we must be fairly close. Hopef...

Thinking of being part of a group ride for Samhain, with possibility of celebrations round a fire. Based in Argyll and can travel within local and neighbouring counties. Did think of the Southern loop of HT550 for an idea, any takers?

Im pleased with my UPSO bags, have the carradice clip system which is quick and easy. https://upsobags.co.uk/

I'm on the PC for a change and glad of it for that sunset pic Jimmy. I made a return trip along the canal to where a couple of friends were building a hut last year. https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=313054#p313054 They've only gone and finished it, with wood burning stove, ...

Look forward to reading more! Can echo about weather up here, BBC claim 0% of rain with sun all day, yet sitting in a downpour

Have a good one!

Used to be good yoga classes in that park on Sunday's, a bivi and yoga class following morning would be ace.

Yeah same philosophy, without judgement I find it interesting how others do it. Ticking over another 365 days on this sphere at midnight and as standard bought myself a gift to celebrate, which is a new frame. Needing to get back more into outdoors life including getting some experiences on the bike...

What makes frames unsuitable for a front mech? Chainline? Bought a new frame and bit miffed that manufacturer specifies unsuitable for a front mech, might try it non the less and see.

On my last one night trip things taught me a few lessons. Left the house mid afternoon, in an area I know quite well so no need to have a route marked on the GPS. Weather was great, if warm and still is your thing. Had a bivi location in mind, and got there about 90 mins before dark, perfect. As the...

I think I’d best have a test ride on a Fargo.

If you can try one with jones loops on aswel.

As a (steel) Fargo rider i’d like to say that it’s not a gravel bike. It’s a mountain bike that happens to have geo for drop bars. It’s got far more in common with the XC/adventure MTB’s of the late 90’s than a modern gravel bike. I’ve used mine for all the stuff I used to use my Marzocchi Bomber e...
