I'm also looking to ride this soon I find space in the calendar in the coming months, some interesting points to take on board.

Valerio, rather you then me doing it on a dropped bar bike with no dropper post. I'm sure its doable though, but doubt it would be pretty

Brother Cycles Big Bro steel framer, I absolutely love mine. Run it rigid and with 100mm Reba fork, super comfy short or long distances
Salsa Timberjack I like the look of too
Broken Road in steel would be nice, I have the Ti frame, but if the steel is as comfy It'll be a joy to ride

Happy belated birthday Stu, hope you had a great day

Work and other commitments put this years DD to bed late last year, so no point entering this years. After the first attempt ending in failure at a measly 95k, cold, wet, wrong kit, ran out of enthusiasm to continue. Hopefully next year.

Best get myself entered now I know where I am with work, I know your retired John you don't need to remind me see ya there no doubt

I've signed up now I know where I am with work, looking forward to it

"... if you never felt this (ride) should go on forever."
"... if you never wanted this (ride) to end emmediately."

I really like that. And going looking for the first can get you the second!

Yep, like this too

One of the 200 and 300 would have to be an ITT since they are held on the same day.

Maybe Stu could accommodate another weekend, or maybe we shouldn't give Stu any ideas as his are already crackers enough

What about a BB Triple Crown ? WRT, BB200 & BB300 just a thought

Not sure if this has been posted up on just thought I'd give it a share as they've always been very good with us on WRT events and while passing through on rides, pretty sure most Bearboners have used it over the years

Might find something on here

Also thinking of the 300 if the stars align, Question - If jumping onto the 200 from the 300 if things don't go to plan can you still aim for a badge doing the 200 ?

Beast of a ride that, well done

Avid fan of Stan's over many years still does a good job, but recently seen a deal on the new Pirelli stuff in Tweeks Cycles Wrexham for £16 for a pint so thought I'd give it a go. some reviews say it stains wheels and frames but I'm guessing that's if your a messy bugger and you get it everywhere. ...

I've just bought myself a Sea To Summit SP1, only used the once up to now on Saturday night at around 9-10° the bag was superb which I expect it should be at that temp, 385g (long version) here's the link for info :-bd https://www.tradeinn.com/trekkinn/en/sea-to-summit-spark-spi-sleeping-bag/1370987...

Well in Jeff, better late than never

Some ace last minute nights under the stars & nice to see some retro bikes being used, miss my old Gary Fisher Wahoo. Got me looking at retro rigs now

Anyway a quick spin up road to the wellie shed of a local school, good enough to get the job done even if I was surrounded by smelly kids wellies and a chance to try the new kip bag out. That is definitely the most high-risk BaM location I've ever heard of :shock: :shock: :shock: . Imagine explaini...

After May's BAM right at the beginning of the month on the WRT I thought I'd given myself plenty of time to get June's done and out the way :| How wrong was I. Didnt feel to well on the Thursday/Friday so left it pretty much to the death again and even tougher knowing I had to be home for 04:30 as I...

I grabbed a few tiles last week that I've been riding past for a while using the handy Explorer Helper app but the app has gone down and completely disappeared. Does anyone use any other apps to help them out on the tile collecting or do you just use a desktop/laptop, gutted the apps gone down as it...
