Any question answered...

I am planning on going to We Out Here. Some friends run one of the stages, and there are lots of people I know performing and attending. Plus I get a pair of crew AAA passes and food for the weekend.

So it’s YOU ripping everyone else off!

Sad I missed the last party, you were there right? I flaked, waste of a ticket

Is this a wild mink or someone’s lost ferret?

Whichever it is, you can (and should, please) report it. There’s various organisations depending on your part of the country.

Mink and ferrets are invasive to the UK and cause a lot of damage to bird and fish populations.

I’m the problem it’s me!

Mink are much darker

Almost certainly a lost pet if it's tame like that. If you have a pet carrier you could try and trap it and bring it into the dry. Report to local vet, neighbourhood facebook group etc

Stick it up your trousers. If it savagely mutilates your genitals it’s a mink, if it eats them it’s a ferret

Mink are available in all sorts of colours (see coats), but only one level of nastiness (extreme).

How do I make my bike more comfortable for longer, multi day rides?

I found a RedShift stem helpful to alleviate wrist, forearm, and neck strain.

Lost ferret needs food and affection. Poor little thing. Rescue it. Don't leave it to suffer outside.

Any hotel recommendations for a week of honeymoon in Europe? Ideally on the beach where we can relax.

I've never done a beach holiday and everything I've found so far feels really uninspiring.

Can't really recommend a specified hotel, but I found Cassis to be a wonder place for a holiday. It has a beach and a sea front area, it's a lovely town, and it's got lots of vineyards and things to see like the Calanques. Also close to some other towns, and Marseille is an interesting city.

Not a beach but we had a very relaxing time at the parador at Carmona. Quiet pool, lovely rooms great food (and I hate beaches!)

We found Les Roches Blanches in Cassis little bit too ostentatious in terms of the clientele, felt a little bit 90's James Bond.

Maybourne Riviera was very much Daniel Craig era but not on the beach.

Chèvre D'Or in Es was more Connery.

We recently had our honeymoon in Greece, between Methana and Egina.

Both very quiet and relaxing. Stayed in a beach shack Airbnb in Methana with a private beach for peanuts. No one around, idyllic.

But unfair on the other nuts.

They should allow walnuts

Another shout-out for Greece for relaxed beach holidays. You do need to get away from the mass tourism as ectoplasmosis describes, but then you get your little money's worth. Off season also helps majorly.
If you're so inclined you can also do day trips to the plethora of UNESCO world heritage sites everywhere.
Or do Athens for two days, then get a (quick) ferry out to a quiet island.

The islands that ectoplasmosis describes are very near Athens. We did Poros just next to Methana, then a car hire back to Athens through the Pelepenessos. But we had two weeks end of September early October. And still Corona times so much more quiet.

How is this Apidura framebag 12 liter and the large Blackburn 6,8 liter. The dimensions are pretty much the same...

Without stating the bleeding obvs. any of the Greek islands that don't have an airport are going to be much quieter than those that do. I lived on Corfu for just over a year, which is about as touristy as it gets. Our favourite islands for escape were Serifos and Folegandros.
ETA: Folegandros is a ~7hr boat ride from Piraeus. Most people, having flown in to Athens, aren't going to embrace the prospect of 14 hrs on a boat cutting in to their holiday time - so they don't go there. Greeks holiday there. Prices for everything are accordingly low.

We started in Athens and drove a hire car through the Peloponnese down to Methana, stopping at Epidauros for the stunning amphitheatre, the Corinth Canal and a couple of smaller sights. It was blissful.

Methana is very sleepy and beautiful, with lots of walks around/through the ancient volcano it sits on. Ximi’s Fish Bar on the tiny bay is incredible.

I did some calculations on the question above.
The 12 liter Apidura bag is a triangle of approximately 55x35cm and the width is 6,5cm.
So: (55x35x6,5cm)/2 = 6256 cm3 = 6,2 liter.
How can it be 12 liter?
