I've used them in Seville and Nashville, and in both cases it has been excellent. In a situation where I don't want to hail a cab or uber, but there are no bikes available, using an e-scooter has been a great way to make a journey in under 10 mins that would otherwise take 45 on foot.

It's a bit confusing in some places whether the local laws are to user roads, pavements, or bike lanes, but that's sorted easy enough with a quick google.

Wouldn't ever buy one myself, but when visiting a different city I've found it a great and cheap way to nip around.

Dales Divide looks ace - perfect way to spend Easter weekend. I'm in.

Route: http://trackleaders.com/dalesdivide19

Plenty of hotels and campsites (and bivvy spots if thats your thing). I tended to fire up Booking.com at about 5pm each day to make the decision where to stop that night, which also leads to healthy last minute discounts. Booking.com also allows to filter by hotels with 24/7 reception.... with a bit of planning it is easy to create your own map of all hotels along the route that are open round the clock.

The RATN facebook group is a useful resource so I suggest joining. Search Netherlands on here for the full lfgss thread.

I also wrote a race report at becomingadot.com which may be useful or interesting for getting a flavour. Tom Hudders also wrote a very good one linked to from the thread.

A new flight route is opening between Bristol and Brest in March - thought it may be of interest for TCR starters.

Small print: it's operated by Ryanair

The discount code BOLT50 will currently get you £50 off via the Wahoo site but only applies to the pink or blue models

Well done! It's also a good strategy to get the winter slogs out of the way at the start of a RRTY, rather than at the end!

And only 18 mins off the bike for a 200km is very disciplined.

That was already a quick ride, and then I saw the 2,700m of climbing! Bloody well done. Looks like a lovely route too.

@bjf that's a solid ride - elapsed time or ride time? Hats off in any case.

I've got 2 short organised audaxes coming up this weekend in Bristol - Thames Tickler 115km on Saturday, and then a Monday night 100km starting at 7pm which finishes at the Beer Emporium.

I run 118 link with a 42/42 drivetrain.

It's got some stacked up aerobars, but not bullhorns

I'm riding a bright yellow Whyte Wessex One.

I also live one mile from the finish, so feel free to make use of my shower / kettle afterwards

It was brilliant last year despite rain for the whole thing. This year looks dry but chilly, so it should be a blast. Entry includes a crack-of-dawn jacket potato and beans at a scouts hut in Poole, in case that helps swing things.

As of this morning, the status was this:
"I've been kindly informed by those who can't attend, and as such everyone on the waiting list has got a place and there are a few cards left over in case anyone has been 'umming and arring', now's your chance."

I expect Will did't change the sign-up blurb, and that you'll get an email from him shortly letting you know that you're in.

Moonrakers and Sunseekers 300km starts this Friday at 10pm in Bristol.

Previously there was a waiting list, but a few places have opened up for last minute entries.

Anyone joining?

Excellent journalism here on citizen surveillance, housing costs, inequality, and the random things people buy on Amazon:

Paris and Newport both fit your April window.

One of those is a much more interesting course than the other!

Hoody was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Another very happy customer here!

Pro tip: add "starts within 50km of Granada, Spain" to your search ;)

No idea how closely this reflects the event, (hence the question above) but the rough route looks good. Found via a search for Badlands on RWGPS

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31226466

@CarlosBI Looking at your Badlands routes on RWGPS - are these speculative, or do they represent the official route? Cheers.

I've signed up for this.

Pondering whether the ~35c clearance on my Whyte will be enough, or if I need to invest in something a bit more gravelly. Either way, I'm stoked to ride in that part of Spain.

Is there any indication as to rough time of year for the Badlands race?

Hi Scott, that's weird - looks like the payment didn't go through. I'll try again now to the address in the first message.
