Am looking into this, but from photos, I could also have tied the bag a little more efficiently.

Bars are already really wide tbh

Back from 240km across Ireland along the Grand Canal and a good chunk of road. Maybe 100k of it (maybe less) and tbh, we found it tough going. Over 100k on the first day and camped in a forest during a rain storm. We got up the next morning and only managed less than 40km before the lack of sleep and pain was too much, so we did a tour of local distillery, ate, drank and slept a lot ... in a hotel. Another 100k or so the next day was a lot easier and we made it to the train station to get back to Dublin in decent time.

Lessons learned for this one.

Don't leave your bags out in the rain overnight.
Set your tarp up early, even if you need to leave it to go get food.
Bring insect spray.
Find a smaller sleeping bag.

I really like my Apidura bags, but I had to lift the brakes to goober level to get the handlebar one neatly away from the cables, which kinda sucked.

Otherwise a successful trip.

Who the fuck is he?

Thanks, haven't been in awhile. Am travelling to Dusseldorf in December so can check it out then too.

First weekend of September. Germany will take a little planning. I have a feeling I may be doing that one alone. Which won't be bad. I'm looking into one nighters as well over here, but fat bike or road bike not sure yet. Whole new world opened up once I quit the racing.

Yeah, I'm a fussy fucker too, so might need to cop on a bit. Rural Ireland still has a little catching up to do on the food front. Happy Pear are everywhere it seems.

Yeah, I figured that might be best, those Holland and Barrett oat bars are almost 500 cals each so a few of them for emergencies and get on with it. Might bring own coffee, just to be cool.

Is this the right thread to ask what people bring to eat? Especially vegetarians? I'm doing three days along canal in Ireland (should only take two but there's a distillery along the route) but want it to be a precursor to the Trans Germany route next year.http://www.bikepacking.com/routes/bikepacking-trans-germany/

Same, I've stopped telling my own partner about the near misses from training and races. I was doing myself no favours. Should have done it for my 40th tbh... Plan on doing Germany next year and most of the prep will be in convincing partner it'll be cool.

Way to make me feel old, man.

Can't seem to get the TrackLeaders map to zoom in. Is it just me?

This article brings up something I've pondered for awhile. I we're all encouraged to get jobs that allow for upward mobility, who does the work that offers none. Will the Czech workers in this article go home to something with upward mobility or do some of us just have the face the fat that dead end jobs are a reality for us?

Brendan O'Carroll is from Finglas, Dublin, in the Republic.

Do you really think that an attempt to reunite Ireland won't burst out into another civil war.

Unionists are still insanely against joining ROI where catolic run education is still a major issue, where protestants would be in a massive minority still, where the Church has been coverig up sexual abuse, trying to influence politics and society for years and still is?

Do you think the population of the Republic would welcome a group which they fundamentally believe are facists, that the Unionists and another group they think supported terrorists for the last 40+ years?

My experience, the divide between the two areas is insane. People in Tipperary know nothing about NI bar the fact that they can cheap booze in Newry

I have an older Corima four spoke which has suffered hub debonding. COrima have offered to look at it, but I found this on eBay and wondered if I could just swap the hub from the old to the new?

There are benefits according to this paper

My understanding is that the list of banned substances is being revised as many are on due to historical suspicion of use and their relation to asthma.

Am not falling on either side, just adding some info from someone whose knowledge and experience I respect and has proven to be quite clear in his opposition to doping

Have read a cycling doc clarify that the drug he has been caught out for is of no benefit to anyone who does not suffer with asthma. Said doctor is vehemently anti-doping.

Any one got an image of the Mongoose above showing the disk brake?

Thanks, just having problems imagining it, despite helpful images on their site.

Anyone have the Bike Pack Doubletwist. Am wondering how well it fits over the TT behind the handle bar. Hope to use it on a Fat Boy. It's the larger section that's behind the bars right?

Did you hear about the microchip company? They did so well they moved to a smaller warehouse.

Am about to resort to that, but noticed that others didn't seem to require support
