BB200 scouting.

[Bearbonesnorm]

I was meant to be out for 2 nights but travelled much faster than I anticipated ... I assume it was because I didn't have Mike with me, wanting to chat to every woman within a half mile radius for an hour at a time

Anyway, 'twas a very productive 24ish hours, 180k with 4000m of ascent ... and yes, I found what I was looking for.



Obviously, I'm unable to disclose where I went but I did eat a pizza in England at 7.00pm last night.

So it's a quick one, heading toward civilisation, with food supplied. Looking forward to it

But in which country did you buy it?

[Bearbonesnorm]

So it's a quick one

Don't let me elite sporting status fool you.

heading toward civilisation

Towards but possibly never reaching.

But in which country did you buy it?

Bought and consumed in England.

[Ian]

But in which country did you buy it?

Bought and consumed in England.

Exciting. It's akin to the TDF visiting countries other than France as it wends its way round countryside

Anyway, that appears to rule out Knighton, as you can't buy pizza on the English side of the border. I'm going with Bishop's Castle?

[ScotRoutes]

Bought and consumed in England.

Can I get my entry fee back under the Trades Descriptions Act?

[Bearbonesnorm]

I only said

I didn't say you were going.

[ScotRoutes]

Which is the "conflicted" emoji?

[Zippy]

That tussock romp looks good*, I can see most of the wheels


*as far as tussock romping goes

[Ian]

Yeah, but what's holding the bike up?

Front wheel nearly hub deep in a soft bit, perhaps

And those tusocks are in summer conditions. It could be a bit different by October...

[Zippy]

Good point... we'll wait and see I guess.

You're not going to get much sympathy off here

[Bearbonesnorm]

You're not going to get much sympathy off here

I wouldn't expect ........ or deserve any

[Mike]

" deserve any " u say.....so its a bitch of a route then yeah ;0)

[Bearbonesnorm]

" deserve any " u say.....so its a bitch of a route then yeah ;0)

No ... I meant, at all or ever.

I've still a few little gaps to fill in the route but so far (IMO) it looks really nice.
