Re: BB200 2024
Was looking back in the thread as was sure I'd seen something but when/how do we confirm whether 200 or 300 route?

Re: Recommend me a GPS
I'd highly recommend the wahoo element roam. Links to kamoot and ride with GPS, loads come up on eBay and has links to a database of base maps. Garmin etrex 20 as well. Thanks-Have you had any experience of the original Elemnt at all and whether it would still be useable- I think ones are about 7 o...

Re: Sleeping on it
I'm looking to upgrade my sleep system after a bloody cold night in the mountain just after the strata river section on last weekend's BB200 I used tarp/bivvy with 3 season cheaper sleeping bag. I got a decent mat last year which has made a huge difference already from previous trips. I am a side sl...

Re: BB200 - a few thoughts.
Very good, Stu I arrived thinking I knew what to expect after five previous bb200, the last one achieving that elusive black badge. What transpired was a massive reality check fighting the terrain, weather and the clock clock and scraping a greenπ Thank you to Dee and yourself for organising this ex...

Re: Meeting Boners in the wild
Met a fellow boner on my Transatlantic way enent in June and rode with him for a while, for the life of me I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember his name, fatigue does bad things for the mind

I'm just a grumpy, cynical auld feck though. I'm trying not to be ...... it's hard :wink: There are plenty of riders who have very little idea/skill/confidence in route planning This is the trouble. No one is born with the ability to do this, it's something which needs a little practice and in real...

Re: Which 2nd hand bike computer?
Been thinking of upgrading to roam V2 myself, currently have original Elemnt which has been flawless and simple to use.
It lasts a good 200km road ride battery wise.
I'd be happy to sell so I can trade up

Re: PBP - anyone planning on entering?
The key difference with Paris Brest Paris to almost anything else I/we do is the crowds lining the whole 1200km route, kids wanting to high five you after two days if not washing your hands, locals in villages running free food stalls in the middle of the night, being cheered on for the hero you wi...

Re: PBP - anyone planning on entering?
@dyffers and @flyingpig - do you both have qualifying rides from 2022 that will allow you to pre-register? I haven't ridden an audax since London-edinburgh-London in 2007, but am hoping there are some spaces left once registration officially opens in June. Got my first SR qualifier (a 200k) booked ...

Re: RAPAH500 - anyone doing it!
I bailed my FFF500 in one attempt after 300km yesterday, by then I had done 200km straight into a strong and cold wind and I wasn't properly recovered from a bad cold so enough was enough.
There's lways next year!

Re: RAPAH500 - anyone doing it!
Good on you raising money doing it, gives an extra impetus too.
I'm doing the full fat festive 500 Audax on 29 the 29th Bristol Cambridge and back. Gets it done in one hit which I've always found best!
