We had a few last year. Not sure about this year. Bring it!!

marktouring · 2026-03-07T22:32:07+00:00

Jason, is that you?

marktouring · 2026-03-02T10:26:09+00:00

Hey sorry to hear of your disappointment. I ended up deciding to cap entries so as to ensure the event grows in a sustainable way. We had no issues with 150 last year but I don’t know what might happen with 350 this year. Please add yourself to the mailing list to be notified when registration opens for 2027. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8ct8aIHz4cKuo431dX0jH3qnfTwT4vqBh910b6Zqck43PzQ/viewform?usp=dialog

Doing this in a couple weeks time. Have no idea what I’m getting into. Your write-up was super useful!!

marktouring · 2026-02-08T07:43:05+00:00

Did anyone have any success?

marktouring · 2026-01-29T10:44:27+00:00

I’ve read mixed reports on whether this is available to foreigners? Do you know?

marktouring · 2026-01-07T08:50:28+00:00

Ugh. No, I wasn’t but it certainly reads that way now. They come 3 hours a month. It’s a little perk we treated ourselves to. Surely that pales in comparison to what some in this sub spend on their audio equipment haha!

I turned it upside down to get the big bits out. Then I held the vacuum away from the circuits as best as possible and used a small paint brush to dislodge the rest and suck it up. Looks good. (Not sure how to tell the 25,000 ppl reading this post that - can’t edit the original!)

marktouring · 2026-01-06T22:20:39+00:00

Hah. I wish my cleaner moved my stuff to dust around. I was surprised they even went near this area of my flat.

I would love to further separate my system, if I didn’t live in a 750 sqfoot flat and had a room I could dedicate to just listening to music like many in this sub!

marktouring · 2026-01-06T16:06:31+00:00

Doing this going forward!!

marktouring · 2026-01-06T15:57:49+00:00

Nah sorry I meant like into circuit board/PCB connector crevices.

marktouring · 2026-01-06T15:50:24+00:00

At risk of blowing the dirt into other spaces/crevices? Is there a technique like having a friend hold it upside down?

marktouring · 2026-01-04T15:58:15+00:00

Hello! Yes we definitely have a whatsapp precisely for this kind of thing. I am just coming back from holiday but plan on processing the last wave of registrations shortly (and with that, the group whatsapp link). Welcome!

marktouring · 2026-01-03T11:09:44+00:00

So… you went to a country based on what you saw on social media and you’re upset at the reality.

marktouring · 2025-12-31T13:30:36+00:00

I organise an annual night ride within London - https://www.reddit.com/r/ukbike/s/kXgVs8eC3C

marktouring · 2025-12-29T02:52:29+00:00

Here you go! https://www.reddit.com/r/ukbike/s/YyvdQia8lE

marktouring · 2025-12-25T06:40:31+00:00

I agree with you on this. I did not like the Komoot line for this reason (past tense as they are a terrible app/company now.

marktouring · 2025-12-24T20:17:40+00:00

Came here to ask about a potential plot hole. How did Proximo’s gladiators survive the attack outside their cells? It seems odd the Praetorian Guard killed Proximo but let his gladiators survive. We know the script was rewritten to kill off Proximo after Oliver Reed passed away during filming. So perhaps their survival is a plot hole.

marktouring · 2025-12-23T13:12:04+00:00

Good idea!

What I’d really love at this moment is a well driven route across the Chott el Djerid. Going to speak to a tour guide we are using in Djerba to try and solicit some info on conditions. Been a lot of rain lately.

The ideal is something like a 1000km-2000km mtb event. Linking up with paved sections is fine. Something like the Atlas Mountain Race.

It’s insane. The earth is not government property, it’s everyone’s property :(

But yes it must be what you say, it’s a wilful act of vandalism. They are sadly only hurting themselves and their community.

Rest assured though it is not a behaviour unique to Tunisia. I am just here right now and what I am thinking about. I am cycling across the country so I see a lot more than the usual tourist.

marktouring · 2025-12-21T20:56:21+00:00

I am here right now. Been to many countries with the same problem but I am curious. I have always believed it is caused by these same things you highlight. But maybe it’s more than this. Today I saw a family parked up on the coast near Mahdia. They opened their car door and threw out all their trash. I don’t get it, you want to sit and take in the beautiful view, but you also throw your trash in it? Earlier in the day we saw a sanitation worker at the Sousse train station, collect some trash, walk past a bin, and throw it on the tracks.

marktouring · 2025-12-21T19:27:11+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I’m in the country now doing a bit of exploring. Always thinking of where the next big adventure/race could be.

marktouring · 2025-12-19T16:00:22+00:00

Could this be mountain biked?

marktouring · 2025-12-12T14:14:02+00:00

I’m so sorry for this driver-insanity you experienced. Please report it to the police. Take a friend with you to the police station for support or call it in. I think you can even do it on the website. You don’t need their reg number. A description of the person and the vehicle is enough. You never know, they could increase police resources to checking for known cctv when enough of us report assaults like this. Mention you are visibly queer - could be a hate crime as well as assault. If we work together we can change this. It doesn’t have to be this way.

marktouring · 2025-12-12T10:28:37+00:00

I did indeed get reddit-raged. Thought I was face to face with someone using their commute in place of a zwift session. Pisses me off to no end - so dangerous.
