I may have imagined it but I seem to remember an article about riding in Poland in the magazine at some point. Does anyone remember which issue (if any) it was in, before I spend hours fruitlessly flicking through piles of old mags?

And was there also something about Ukraine?

Ta muchly 🙂

Hmmm – found two about Ukraine (issues 33 and 47). Did I hallucinate Poland?

Good morning offthebrakes. 🙂

There was recently a write-up on Georgia and that sounded interesting. Who would have thought of that as an mtb destination?

Shall have a rummage in the library!

Edit: just a thought – hairychested from this parish is Polish so he may see this.

Morning c-g 🙂

Yes, the Georgia one was good. I’m digging out articles for a Polish friend who fancies doing a bit of touring. I don’t think he wants to ride for quite as long as would be needed to get to Georgia though!

Ah OK. But riding to Georgia would be a walk in the park for you though!

I hear your other half has been in the wars and do hope she’s on the mend. 🙂

I don’t know, I’ve not done any touring really. I have the fitness, but I’m not sure I have the practical resourcefulness of most bikepackers – at least the ones who survive to write blogs :-p

Dr F is healing well, but she won’t be riding anything technical until she’s had 6 months for the bone to knit back together, doesn’t want to risk another crash. She’s just restarted base training though. Hope you’re pulling through after your recent crash too.

Blimey, that’s a long time but sounds as though she’s being sensible. Do pass on my good wishes.

Having to wait til February for an op then 2 months rehab. 🙁 Keeping the pharmaceutical companies in business cos it bloomin’ well hurts.
