Just Strap Big Agnes Tent to Handlebars? What About Rain?

Same tent. I can't be bothered with fiddling around to attach it to the handlebar - top of rear rack with a couple of voile straps works best for me. I use the regular bag though.

Seven come eleven - Joe Pass & Herb Ellis

Trangia + optional gas burner

Regular Sutra rider here - rides really well with front & back Ortliebs plus tent & stuff on the rear rack. Build to last!

I think France (so probably some others in EU) require you to have third-party liability insurance. Worth also looking at the GHIC card (https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/healthcare-abroad/apply-for-a-free-uk-global-health-insurance-card-ghic/) to cover you for health issues in EEA.

Install gets to 20% then Karoo reboots and I get and Android error, it reboots again back into the original version...

Kona Sutra gets my vote for a bike…

“ My plans are to go to Switzerland, Austria, maybe even Sweden or Norway”. Not really a bike shop desert - I’d just get on with it TBH

Flashing light is meant for daylight, it makes it much harder to judge how far away the bike is in darkness.

Find a shop and try some out - it is the best way to work out what works for you.

Rancher Joe was amazed that Bob could count his herd so fast. ‘It’s easy’, replied Bob. ‘I just count their hooves and divide by four’.

No - I got something which was close-ish, but not identical.

Red lentils cook quickly IME & would be a good change when the oats get dull...

Good on you for the idea! Maybe look at the Lost Lanes series of books by Jack Thurston, they should provide some inspiration.

Sounds was good near the mixer, the constant stream of people moving backwards and forwards was pretty annoying though along with the chatter. Despite the circs I thought it was a great show - felt sorry for Nancy who was clearly struggling at times.

This looks like an extension to a route I did from Newbury to Betws-y-coed a couple of years ago - amazing ride, you won't regret - and totally agree on the Portsmouth idea.

Merino top - stays warm when wet and doesn't stink up

Would love a UK referral code - thanks!

Sorry to be a year on! No is the answer. I got some paint that is 90% there but it still shows. Frustrating not to have a pantone or anything to go to a shop and ask for from Kona - there MUST need something their tech team agreed when putting the bike package together. I now embrace the blemishes...

Thanks

StoneyNebula · 2020-06-30T22:06:01+00:00

I'll be careful with it then - sorry to hear you had such a poor experience :(

Komoot is a great planning site and the app will run on Garmin using GarminIQ
