I’m entered into the WRT, yes. At the moment John Climber has offered for me to join him on the LH long route though I confess to being nervous about how much he is expecting to do over the 3 days.

As much as you want. We shall turn up with some ideas and vague plans then suck it and see. Much like January.

And you missed the straps comment. What kind of sheltered life are you leading now?

Reasonable, Gobi, but I expect more.

Cath - Joolze and Dave. Ours will be a well documented ride 😂

I haven’t ridden with suspension this year yet. Apparently a gravel bike arrives this week for a photo shoot. A photo shoot of a water bottle. No, I’ve not figured that out yet. Drop bars with SRAM which will be interesting. Haven’t ridden double tap before.

Congratulations on 5th Gobi :-)

I’m less sure about the WRT at the moment. John’s group is getting a bit big and he definitely wants to do some big miles. Obviously my main priority is not sleeping alone ;-)

Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
