First test of the Blackburn Outpost Frame Bag
Just had the first test of the Blackburn Outpost Frame Bag, that I got today! So far very, very pleased with it! Fits my bike very well indeed! Only downside, no way to get to water while on the move. Have to stop and get my water bottle in/out of cage. But thinking getting a smaller water bottle maybe that will help…
Cycling from York to the Tan Hill Inn, update!
You may all remember that on 26th July 2020, did a blog post about hoping to cycle from York to the Tan Hill Inn, which is the highest pub in Great Britain at 1732ft above sea level…. Well about 90% sure, it’s going to happen!
Like OMG, it will have around 1,355 metres of total ascent in around 70 miles! it will be hard, hard going… But I can’t wait!!
This will be my biggest cycling adventure since, doing the End to End cycle, way back in 2009! But BRING IT ON!!
Think it will be happening in the next two weeks! Will post more, when I know for sure!
