oh so wrong :( my uncle skippered a clipper 60 around the world and came 2nd :)

8O

My uncle also owns a soling :) Bought for £300 from the ICC in Salcombe.

Carbon377, at least try and get out on a sweden, we did 8kts over ground with a very reefed jib in a 2.5m sea. the owner sailed it back doublehanded, said it was very easy to manage.

Devon yawls don’t count :) we’re there every year for the regatta, very pretty sight when there are lots of them.

My dad’s mate owns a sweden 42, awesome boat. spent a morning on the irish sea in a force 8, we gave in long long long before the boat would have done :lol:

J class yachts are incredible. The tallest mast i have ever seen, especially when compared to its hull length. Salcombe yawls are nice, too expensive though :(

Most of it is wide and very rocky, not many corners.

ahh well, there’s always next year :)

actually 389th :)

My dad came 390th :) lost 60 places with a puncture though…..

I might have to drop out short as i have to be in castleton in the afternoon sometime, not sure when yet but this looks good :)

I’d be more worried about stupid bikers (just some are stupid, not all) than the toughness of the climbs, but most are fairly easy, just drag on a bit.

Revolution Triad zero (150mm) from EBC and then spend the other £500 on some lighter wheels or a holiday?

I live between Whaley and Chape :)

Where abouts in the Dark peak are you oldagepredator?

Great Rock skills course in Hope tomorrow, then 3 peaks spectating sunday :)

Good = Sintered pads have good power and last ages.
Bad = They were a reet pig to fit, had to drill out the hole for the rretaining pin and file off the corners to get them into my Tektro Aurigas, even though the first pair had gone in fine :?

Its a lapierre spicy 316 i think, maybe 516?

I will subtley swap it for mine on the next pootle, you will never know…… ;)

Close call :O

Bit of a resurrection, but very nice bike, what happened to the evil?

I use 710mm in the peaks without ay issues and i can’t think of anywhere in the peaks atleast where you would struggle using wider bars.

Cheers, I just made a route on tracklogs that works out at 20 miles and 4444 feet of climbing 8O

That title was awful :oops:

Thorpe farm bunkhouse between hathersage and hope is nice, didn’t have bikes when i stayed there though.

Nice one.

Not being quite as ill as i am now was good, short lived though :(

If you say so……. ;)

I'm not going now, hopefully doing the great rock skills course from Hope instead :D I didn't actually have an entry, i was just oing to do the same route and not use the food stops.

How about something from hayfield again nbt? something like twenty trees, rowarth, Lantern pike, Birch Vale, New allotments, Peep-o-Day, coldwell clough, campsite descent? then food in the George or the Pack horse?

You're just being modest because you're rapid slowrider ;)

Hopefully we won't have to show them proper bad weather :lol:

Bump, in case people haven't seen this that would quite like to :)

I used it last night for a man v bike race, my first time riding in the dark and it was stupidly bright, more than enough for me :)

Only an inch and a bit since the last one :)

Nothing to do with the photo but can I change my mind? As somewhere I haven't ridden very much I would quite like to do it on my own bike. I've probably ruined your plan now :(

Can i see a picture of my possible deathmobile? Congrats Adrian :)

I can stoke as long as you can accommodate someone 6ft tall. I need to get used to SPDs then :lol:

I'm in. And i might even stoke for you if you ask really really nicely :)
