Merino wear or similar. Whats everyone wearing?

Whats everyone wearing for a single "merino" style long sleeve top? You know, dry weather, potentially not warm or cold, JRA wear for general use, quick drying etc. I have bought some ISO BAA stuff from Sport Pursuit which has been great but I've found the media fit to be a little short in...

Re: Your Youtube channel and favourites.

Yeah, I'm doing the HT550 ITT this year and found the same. Theres almost no chat or exposition about the route. It's a mixed bag anecdotal vignettes.

Your Youtube channel and favourites.

So I'm 12 weeks out from my HT550 ITT and YouTube is a great resource for research but it's absolutely polluted with bad stuff too. Does anyone here have favourite bikepacking / MTB channels or do any of you guys and gals have your own that anyone else may be interested in? I've had mine for years b...

Re: HT550 - 2025

I didn't get in this year but doing an ITT later on Grand Depart day. Not easy to get an idea of ITT riders until track leaders fires up. Interested to know if anyone is, or knows anyone who is going to"off the books" in 2025?
