Re: HT550 - 2025

The provisional route has been sent out to riders already. Says there maybe some changes but I presume not much more Aye, the changes discussed up there ^. That bit's all new to me anyway, so I've no idea what I might be missing or conversely what I'm letting myself in for. Yeah I know about the ai...

Re: HT550 - 2025

Yep got in this time, somewhat surprisingly. Both fields look full off quality riders. No doubt I'll be near the back but aim to get round in a decent time. Not much social media about it this year. Alan keeping the amount of applications down I think

Re: GB Duro Entries open

Did the gbduro in 21. Was a pretty good event but with some odd rules. They were trying hard to encourage less represented groups, many of whom had little experience. They were nearly all out of the main group immediately as they couldn't make the cut offs. At least most of these rules have been scr...

Badger Divide

Hi. I read a while back that there was a bridge closed near Loch Rannoch. Is it still shut does anyone know? Am planning to ride this at the end of April. If its still shut I'll plan a route round. Easier than getting there and having to do a work around.
Cheers. Pete

Re: Woods Rat Run

Did this over 2 days in September. Mostly a good route but would avoid the Bournemouth prom if I was doing it again. It was a rainy September day bit was still a nightmare with so many people.

2 day loop south Scotland

Planning on riding the Badger Divide in April and will be finishing on a Wednesday. This leaves room for a 2 dayer on the Friday/Saturday before driving home on the Sunday. Ideally not too epic and mostly rideable! Any good ideas? Capitol trail looks good but will be too long.

Re: Bike musings sonder camino vs colibri vs onone freeranger

I know a few people with Freerangers and all like them. I've found planet x pretty good to deal with tbh. Bit me and the wife bought titus mtbs from them. Turned up when they said, no drama. If I was looking for a gravel bike the freeranger would be on my list for sure

Re: Pan Celtic 2023

Did last years, which was based mostly in Ireland. Probably the nicest event I've done. The organisers have a really good attitude. Just as keen on people enjoying the ride and having fun as much as racing it. Unfortunately couldn't do this year as I already had something booked but would do another...

Not winter conditions, but got trips to Ireland in summer, so lots of rain, and pyrenees in the autumn. Mostly not windswept mountain tops.

Re: Dartmoor 200. September 18th

Thanks for sorting the route Luke. I'm afraid I bailed early. Without wishing to make excuses, I'm still suffering with sore feet and hands after another recent long ride. If I'm honest, I just didn't have the legs for it either. Just nothing in the tank. Hopefully, have another go when I'm feeling ...

Just going to ride and see where I get to. Going to camp and then ride to the finish on Sunday. I'm more of a slow trundler, so will go at my own pace .
