Rough Stuff rides for LFGSS folk, join regular rides that avoid tarmac

Also, me too, second this question...

The talk at Temple cycles was awesome and the book is too - highly recommend. Such a great story.

Spoke to my Dad who has always been a keen rough stuff rider - think he was more stoked to see the book than me...

Great to read.

In conjunction with the release of the book (I guess), there was an 8-page spread on RSF in the summer 2019 edition of '200' magazine here in France.

'200' is a French cycling magazine, comes out 4 times a year, well worth a read (in French only though).

@Skülly, @andyp @TheBonk … I got my username back ;-)

Anybody fancy doing the Wayfarer next March?

Potentially dates dependent. And if it means I get to see your lovely face. All the more reason.

What is the Wayfarer?

Wayfarer is like the mamil alp d huez its a right of passage for any traveller can i recommend karen at ty biec for a bike friendly place to stay north side . She has ridden it many times.

Great book as well.
The only other people in the rsf i know are wilco and harry the bike.
Harry pushes his now chaired wife further than most people cycle .
Last seen heading to the mersey ferry even though he lives in flint.

Thanks!

Also - got the photos back from a little jaunt in Wales in last August with some fellows forumengers and thought of this thread. I'm sure @cagimaha can provide some content as well!

Those are cracking photos. do you have a route of that?

Thanks!

GPX attached, I think there may have been some slight deviation but not much

I should also say that @jaeyukdapbap was the facilitator for that particular trip.

Excellent photos there.
While we're at it, not quite the same, but this is a @cgg facilitated ride from London to the start of an audax in Bristol. 1st photo courtesy of @CowHen
Swapping 25s for 28s didn't make much difference

Rough Stuff Archive has just launched a crowdfund for the second book ...
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maxl/the-rsf-archive-vol-2-further-adventures-in-rough-stuff?ref=discovery&term=Rough%20Stuff

Seems like they've raised 7k of the the total 25 target just this morning!

Saw this looks like a great addition to the first book! The special carradice longflap sounds interesting.

Yeah! Love the red webbing & black cotton and old SuperC label. The bag has no leather, which they should really put on the Kickstarter description. @TheBonk

@maxl Ah thought you were called something else on here Max...

edit: Might be worth adding to kickstarter page there'll be zero leather on the bag special!

Congrats on getting some pledges so fast.

Yeah definitely should be in the description, it’s tempting but i’m trying to tell myself I don’t need anymore bags haha

Maybe get one to put your other bags in?
