Here is the second part of that route from last year. Again, take a closer look as it was a bit trial by error but takes you over the Mendips which were beautiful and then to a campiste near cheddar: https://www.strava.com/routes/6057129 — Arctangent Day 2 via cheddar

Sounds ace. North Wessex Downs are beautiful to ride through. Have a look at the ridgeway from reading to Swindon the onto chippenham. Chalk trails and may take you a bit far south but would be a great start to the tour. Here's a route I've done twice now. Some bridle paths and trails along with lanes and b roads so not the quickest but enjoyable and quiet.

Do share any route you take from Worcester to chepstow as my folks live in Malvern so I'd be keen to see what route you take in case i ever go visit with the bike.

Possibly in depending on start time/hangover overlap.

Woo hoo! PM incoming.

Second dibs if Jon sale falls through.

Has anyone got experience with Continental Speed Kings 2 or Schwalbe G Ones? Looking to replace a pair of Big Apples on my 29er.

Looking to replace 29er wheelset so happy to swap.

Bump because Kingpin.

Can anyone recommend a carpenter - norf london? Need some cupboards and bespoke shelving to finish the flat.

Day off next Friday so planning to do this route, going anticlockwise. Its a combination of The Ridgeway national trail and reverse of a route I did from Reading to Cheddar last summer.

Currently thinking to either set off early Fri am, and do the whole route in one day, or do part by night on Thurs evening after work.

Anyone know what size 700cc would fit my salsa 29er rims? Want to get some tyres for commuting and general usage so any recommendations welcome. Haven't got any calipers so cant measure the outer/inner rim width but the salsa website states they are 30mm wide.

Bump. Glws

Halfway home I got a massive sugar crash due to consuming nothing but caffeine and m&s flapjacks all afternoon at work. Resulted in a horrible bonk. So because in embracing my new year fitness regime I stopped and had some chips, a battered sausage and a cup of tea by clissold park.

8/10 would stop for chips when it's fucking cold and wet again.

Bike ready for collection after both wheels have been trued. Can't collect until Sunday. A true test of customer service...

Just dropped my bike off at Bicycle Box, a new lbs on phillip lane. £20 to true both wheels. Full service is £45 and a reassemble and regrease etc at £80. No website but there is a fb page:

Sad to say it's me. With my guns well and truly hidden.

Twas crispy and fun - thanks @BareNecessities

I'm still in so will be at the station for 11.00

29th is perfect for me. Missed the ride in the summer, so looking forward to this. First time I get to put the knobbly tyres on the Ogre!

outland risers still free?

avid levers still available?

Will sturmey archer 9speed thumb shifters be a suitable replacement for Shimon 9 speed bar end shifters? 90% certain they will but prepurchase paranoia creeping in...

Spent the ride home quietly muttering the word cunt under my breath at anyone who had a light I deemed as too bright/flashey/pulsey. Embankment superhighway is full of them. 7/10 would ride again.

My route here but now tempted to try the choices listed by everyone else
