Most I've done in 24 hours was 328 miles and I was a mumbling mess til I got some sleep! 240 miles per day for 79 days is super human, god only knows how his body can withstand that sort of punishment.

Thanks for all your input guys, will try packing the bikes carefully inside first to see how we get on. Have thought about a rear Swift carrier at back of van but am a bit nervous about not being able to keep an eye on them whilst towing. Nice outfit you have there Bear, no problems with nose...

Hi David, enjoyed reading your post. I too started with a Giant Dirt e2, it's a great bike and only changed it cus as a touring/ road bike rider for many years wanted something more road orientated. I sold it to a friend of mine who has made a good job of fitting guards and a rack and sometimes...

Hi Codger, welcome to the forum. Any idea which ebike you might go for?

Hi Rich and Jo, welcome to the forum, ime sure you will get plenty of info and technical help from others more knowledgeable than me on this forum. What ebikes do you have? Have visited Hull a lot all my life as my mother's family come from there and we visited with the caravan in July staying...

Went today, good show, enjoyed it. Tried a Reisse and Muller out on the track. Quite impressive. They favour the new Bosch units, are they that much better than the Yamaha's?

Will be there on the Saturday with a mate who is ebike curious

Yes, all interesting points guys. Recharging on route can be a bit hit and miss if out in the sticks and sitting around in pubs and cafes waiting for recharges can be a bit of a pain. And of course need to look at it from the dealer's point of view, not a lot of incentive for them financially...

Hows about individual dealers offering a battery hire service for their customers for when they wish to complete longer distance tours? A reasonable refundable deposit and daily hire could be charged and a battery prebooked in advance. Those dealers with multiple sites could offer a variety of...

That's hard luck, Burton managed a point away at Norwich, which is pleasing after Saturdays five nil thrashing at Leeds!

I used a conventional cable lock of pretty good quality, but yes I suppose anyone with boltcroppers could have cut through it. It's always a risk but I've used the pub before and it was around towards the back not near the entrance. Is a rural location so thought it ok especially cus I had taken...

You can't go wrong with Ortlieb they are worth the extra money. Think you have our captain from Burton just moved to Oxford, John Mousineo better known as Moose, hows he settling in?

I have an SduroTrekking Trekking with over 500 miles on the clock, am well pleased, check out my review in bike reviews part of forum.

The 500 mile point appeared on the odometer as I was heading south towards Buxton from the Glossop area. The weather was attrosious with non stop rain and high winds, not just normal rain but stinging your face rain and places where the road turned into a stream. I had made my way up to Hadfield...

Thanks for your info Chris, will check it out. Incidently, have just added new thread in Charging Post re favourite watering holes. Bet you could make good recommendations considering your locations?

Favourite watering holes recommended? Can anyone feature good value for money refreshment stops for cyclists? Criteria being good friendly service, great location, good food and drink. To get the ball rolling_ ... The Old Bakery at Newborough fantastic home baked cakes and scones, great coffee...

Will have to look further into this, it looks a nice neat job, but would it invalidate the warranty if anything went wrong?

Cheers Dave. Will get it sorted

Thanks Les looks just the job, ile get some asap.

Thanks Chris , I remember reading your thread on this, looks pretty neat, is it something on sale or did you fabricate it yourself? Is it costly?
