    Often true, but some B roads and many unclassified roads are also very busy (and some remote A roads are not). I am planning a new route and am finding it difficult to completely avoid busy roads. Some roads which are minor-looking on an OS map...

    They apologised and got the correct washers (shims) to me today. 1 mm thickness was not quite enough so I used 2 per chainring bolt. All fastened nice and snug now!

    I sneaked out to the workshop for a couple of hours this morning, and an hour this evening, so I have some progress to report. I started by gluing and screwing some softwood battens to the edges of the side panel: To one of them, I glued and...

    In my teens I toured by bike most of the West Highlands and islands. Mostly on my own but sometimes with my pal Jum who had an ex police bike with double crossbars. We often bivvied but with no sleeping bags we kept a fire going for warmth. On my...

    They are a lot smaller than they used to be so I'd say that Snickers are actually Half-Marathons! :whistle:

    I'm actually looking forward to it, although I plan to cling to my non-automated car to get the best out of it. The driverless ones will have the full safety gizmos to stop them prior to a collision, which means I'll be able to pull out or step...

    I am sure that there are plenty of teenagers who would still like to disappear on adventures for days at a time, but how many parents would be happy with that? The roads are a lot busier now. Many that I cycled unsupervised in the Coventry area...

    My diet started on January 1st, although my weekly weight loss has slowed considerably I have now lost exactly 2 stones or 12.7 Kgs, pleased with that. I’ve done very little cycling but I’ve just started regular run/walks with my dog. I plan on...

    Well four people have picked numbers, so I've randomised a fifth and we now have some courses for the Tour de Splitters. However if any of these get voted down as ones people don't want, then we can always get someone else to pick an extra number...

    I'm still using the 'eat only when hungry... and, are you REALLY hungry?' approach. I was set to eat a biggish meal this evening but decided that I wasn't hungry enough to bother so I just had a bowl of porridge instead. I'll have a mug of tea...
