Test packing for my Friday Bivvy overnighter.
The plan
Ride to London Bridge
Train to Gatwick Airport
Ride 100km to Hastings
Ride 100km back
After hideous headwinds
Torrential rain
I left @ryanbybike.bsky.social after 140km and headed to East Grinstead (I didn't need to complete the 200!)
Now on a train to East Croydon

Finessing my cockpit for the next 2 rides.
I'll have my dynamo back by the weekend, but it's not the greatest off road.
The 200km on sat has a few sections off road.
The bivvy ride next Friday is mostly off road, and will be significantly bigger than that.
Bring on the cold weather rides!!

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.
It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.
We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.
Never again for everyone.

Old Yorkshire proverb (not really).
If you clean your drivetrain, prepare for rain.
Chain off, popped it in the ultrasonic before trying out KMC Go drip wax.
Cleaned the cassette, chain ring, jockeys.
So of course today is the worst weather of the week!
Good test for my Gorewear jacket though.

It's new crankset day!!
Went for a Rotor Aldhu in 155MM
That's 15mm shorter than I run at present!
Thanks to @bikefit.bsky.social for the Rotor nod and for suggesting shorter cranks in the first place!

Day one of our Neolithic North ride.
We arrived at the Rollright stones just as the rain starts.
The good news is I'm not in most of the videos 😉

Got some great footage of my ride partner getting all nerdy at the Neolithic sites we visited.
But to start, here's us descending from the Yorkshire Dales!

It's planned.
All accommodation sorted.
We leave Sept 3rd!
3 days of 200+km
1 day of 130+ km
Day 4, the short day, includes Hartside pass.
This is not the sole reason I'm swapping the Faran to a Shimano XT 1x 12s wireless Derailleur, with a 10-51 cassette, but it's on the list!

Yeah, WS is a bust so far.
The one reply has been an unavailability.

Feel confident I could have added 100/150km to my total.
