It 3″ up front.
But a lowly 2.8″ out back.

I can bring a shovel…

Are you telling me I need another bike…
Is that what your saying…is it…it is isnt it…

you should be OK, but if you need me to tell you to buy another bike then go and buy a fat bike before the 5th Dec :wink:

I’ll add your name to the list

Will the Scouse one have a min tyre width requirement…?
It sounds like a laugh.

It is do’able on a plus 3″ for 90% of the ride as it’s very soft in places, but it’s a ride made for a Fat Bike really.

What you got?

Is sure is and you’d be more than welcome to join us on Saturday 5th Dec.
Just let me know so I can add your name to the list.

Northumberland between Walkworth and Lindisfarne
East Yorks Spurn Island to Filey then around Whitby
Merseyside Crosby to Southport

I’ll be there on the 5th. Looking forward to it.

The scouse one?

Took the plunge as my LBS price matched CRC and got the Edge 25 with HR strap.
72 miles and it was perfect, HR on a measured 50km flat blast training ride was spot on.
10/10 for what I need it for

I’m driving a 13 plate Mondeo and it’s handlingbat high speedsbis very wollowy (is that a word and how you spell it) that goodness it’s only a high car as my new company car arrives tomorrow.
Had an old Mondeo and loved it but l’ve hated this one

On my local Merseyside sand the 29er+ is not a match for 4″ or 5″ Fat Tyres 75% of the time

I think the new Garmin Edge 25 with HR monitor is exactly what I want.

Gonna have to dig a little deeper behind the sofa.

thanks all, any more out there?

Everyone with a fatbike didn’t do a ride.
There’s quite a few folks that don’t need telling what bike to ride on any given day…

Dear Stu.
I put the first 3 lines in my first post just for you because I knew you’d have something to say on the matter…… :roll:

It reads
“And before some of you start…….
I know that you can ride your bike, any bike on any day that you want to and you don’t need to do a song and dance about it……”

and the last line as well
“Ride it if you want to, don’t ride it if you don’t want to.”

17 riders so far

If not come and join us for an ice cream at the sea side

Cheers

Just in time to edit it to the right date

In June I rode from Hexham to the coast at Tynemouth on the Fat Bike, then every beach north to Berwick before taking the Sandstone Trail back to Hexham.
The Sandstone trail is great but the heavy rain beforehand and overnight made it a bit tough going through the cow and sheep fields around the many, many, many gates.
Plus use a GPS with the route GPX as it’s very easy to miss the small signs on route.

Now a couple????

At least there is no pregnant wife in this episode to blame on Kevin

The North Coast 500

I was 3 when it came out in 1970 and it’s still a great film so…..

Very happy with my Berghaus Vapourlite Smock.
Packs down the the size of a tennis ball and weighs nothing

Working on a pass from SHMBO atm.
While thinking “which bike”?

A Ti fat bike tandem with a load carrying rack on the back (or front) for when our terrier needs a rest

West to East of you want more chance of the wind on your back.

Your tyres will be ok with only one rough bit to take it easy on near one of the Forts mid route.

I bivied in a mile castle so can’t help you with camp sites.

Northern Sales Rep for Europe’s market leading industrial PVC hose manufacturer.
Dealing with customers in well over a dozen very different markets and industries.
Started 8 weeks ago and absolutely love it.

Worked for their competitors in the past always looking up to this company.
No pressure on sales, targets or pressure down from the management as it’s mainly a PR role.
Now that I’ve got my foot in the door I’m here to stay and the results are already rolling in.

Deep in the heart of Manchester, but what are they waiting for?

Thanks all for the support.

Not that I have anything to do with it, I simply wouldn’t go to the area if the bridge wasn’t open toll or not.

It might only be a bridge but it’s and essential link avoiding busy roads.

Used this bridge about a dozen times and never once saw anyone to collect my money.

Why don’t they pay £15k a year each to 2 part timers to take it in turns to sit in the toll booth from 9am until 5pm every day 7 days a week to collect a quid from each person over the bridge each way?

Say 1000 people use this bridge a week
Employment goes down
Wages get paid
7 day coverage
it won’t cut numbers using the bridge
£30,800 bill get’s paid to Network Rail
excess money goes towards the repairs

They stopped collecting the toll several years ago for some reason

And why do “The council have to give Network Rail £30,800 a year to keep the bridge open for pedestrians.”?

Cheers Chipps.
So, when the 100th mag (been biying since issue 9) lands on our door step there will be a tee shirt in there will there?

How do you know what size to send out?
