Hi Zokes, from Conwy its directly south. Heading south on B5106 to Tal-y-bont (just north of Dolgarrog) then bearing southwest to the reservoir (its actually the start of the Sarn Helen C2C ride).

Just wondering if to do this or carry on the road to Trefriw and do half the Marin trail, to end at Betws Y Coed.

anyone!?

morning bump!

cake. probably carrot cake. works with mine.

hmm, yeah what I thought really. Thanks.

I'll do some tweaks and get see about finishing in Swansea via Afan.

looking at doing coast 2 coast north to south. Or is south to north better for the wind?

Not sure whether to finish in Cardiff or Swansea yet though.

DX customer service is great.

All I had to do was take a picture of the missing part before they'd consider replacing it. Seeing as I didn't have the missing part, they wouldn't. Just as well it was only a strap.

Still wouldn't buy the same thing at 3 times the price from Stif tho.

I run the same set up. Twofish Lockblock mount works well. Bit expensive for what it is though.

Did your DX light come with a mounting strap? Mine didn't and they won't send one until I send a picture of the missing part – duh! Useless ****ts

Dunno, but those adverts are on during daytime tv aren't they?
The target market for people needing to shift some gold they have 'aquired'.

LOL. grumm I think I've already had a few dozen e-mails from Dr Charles Piedo.

ah yes, thats the website I was (kind of) thinking of. thanks.

LOL at mr m wright.

The Mrs would spend it far quicker than me!

Hmm, 3 months would be the minimum, but looks like I should just check out premium bonds then.

Thanks.

yeah, its quite quiet and posh around there (The Warren).
Just park next to a nicer car than yours.

also, afraid i'll spend it if I leave it in my account.

yeah in an account (earning ziltch).

LOL

yeah, Virgin media is where I watch it – annoying they show the score tho. Like watching Championship highlights where the commentator ruins it by saying whats just about to happen. aaarrggghhh.

Need one of those fancy things that records the tv – I seem to have gone backwards with technology.

seen 'stif' have them for sale at £150 now too.

winter bike!!!!

Bloody hell thats nicer than my summer bike. 😥

maybe change the tyres tho for winter. I've got some and although pretty fast on the road not that much grip elsewhere.

even when my did work they e-mailed me afterwards to say I couldn't use it anymore. Rubbish.

that'd be easier for me, just remove them when I get older (especially as I currently like/use them).

done.

Sh!t this is tricky.

I'm confused as I don't know how old any of you are, but i'm 33 and use them – is this right or should I remove them then put them back on when I reach 40!? 😯

They come in handy and I'm keeping them no matter when my birthday is.

another 10yr old poof here.

First road stylee bike i've ever had and it came with them.

Neat design and can't be fussed to take them off. come in handy every now and again when being lazy or someone cuts me up.

oh dear i'm not a proper man. 🙁

does the lockfish mount work with this?

sorry, yeah sky sports 3.

which one is that?

I've got a couple of Fenix L2D's, but they don't do much with my DX Bastid on the bars.

lol @ MrNutt

ah ok thanks.

waiting for the router from virgin to turn up, so not sure what it is yet. better wait I suppose. Bugger.

ar$e wanted to get organised and up 'n running straight away.

thanks.

no one able to help?

thanks people.

may just post up here when I get something organised then and get the cakes etc in.

cheers.

yep mine goes straight to full power.

cable! same as yours probably (can't remember)

Thanks Alasdair. Will check out bike bus.

waste of time & energy (riding on the A roads) when only going for the weekend tho.

any taxi companies with bike racks or recommended van rental places?

Ride!! nearly 30 miles isn't it? 😳

Surely there must be an enterprising taxi company or man with a van ferrying the 000's of riders and making their fortune!

Just planning at the moment, then recruiting friends to join me.

Agree totally with DT78. Its fun putting them in their place and thinking/hoping you might stop them attacking someone else, but…

I used to fight a lot (as I was quite good and sure of myself and wouldn't tolerate anyone trying it on), but hated it and realised people who like fighting were obviously screwed up and just want to hurt someone, and that doesn't always mean in a fair fight.

Came home to me when I lived near Southmead, Bristol and took on a gang on yoofs who attacked me. Not happy with losing to one guy they made sure they discovered where I lived. I had to move out very quickly (luckily it was the end of year at uni) as they were proper ****'s who didn't care who they hurt or how badly.

Tell on 'em.

I got the medium and thought it must be the small at first.

I don't really need it too small and it obviously inflates quicker, so i'm happy with my choice.

A Troutie one for quality & brightness or a DX for cheapness – job done.

very handy piece of clothing – well worth getting.

Wow they do look lovely (and bright).
Think I've just convinced myself I need another light.

How much do they cost, inc. battery?

Juan any recommendations for going between Dieppe and Paris?
