Ulva is lovely, I'm very jealous! Looks like you were lucky with the weather too.

I was ridiculously lucky.. Two weeks across to Oban round Mull, up the coast over to Skye, and Harris and back to the mainland..

In October..

Not. one. drop. of. rain...

It's the virtue wot does it see

It's the virtue wot does it see

that must be why every time I think about getting the bike out at the moment, I get stair rods

Here’s my steed and set up, from my four cardinal points ride this year. Not much virtue for me 15/21 wet days I think.

Gosh, it would appear I'm associating with a proper bunch of ner'do-wells

I can't pretend I haven't been a bit rained on this trip though.

I caused great amusement to this diminutive Galician lady, as I attempted to put my legwarmers on over my shoes whilst we both sheltered from a downpour under this canopy.

We had a proper good old chat, and giggle together..
Neither of us knew what about really, not being in the least fluent in each others languages.. .. But somehow that didn't seem to matter..

Great to see all these pics and reminds me of happy cycle camping days in the south west
Not like the featherweight kit i ride these days...Prog Rock vs Tech Pop!

I have not got a digital pic of my Dawes Galaxy in it's original touring guise, with front and rear panniers. However, here's a pick of it on a mountain, in bike-packing/gravel bike guise, earlier this year.

I'll have you know my tent is only 1.4 kg !!

My food might weigh a bit, but everything else is pared down to the minimum necessary..

My food too, note the essential beer in the tent picture 😂

Did you see the famous Spectre?

 

[chriswoody]

Not on this trip no, the conditions were not right for it. However I did see one on it's holidays in Wales a couple of years ago:

Taken on the top of Crib goch.

Just a few weeks ago near Evreux, on way back from Munich, it was cold and wet that morning.

Fitting up some new panniers on my Schwinn Passage. I bought this as a frame and built it up. Columbus Tenax steel. Anything is possible on this bike.

Ok i want pictures of your touring bikes, the warmer weather seems like a lifetime away and i really want to get gone somewhere with my tent. A small desciption of where the pic was taken would also be nice. I'm struggling to upload any pictures, they all seem to big for the server. I'll keep mtrying though.

I'm not a international bike tourist. I tour weekend with the mrs. On Rails to Trails (Greenway) We usually ride the long trails 30, 50, 75 miles one way.

The pic is at the beginning of the erie canal in NY this past Labor day weekend. It's the Mohawk river trail that turns into the Erie Canal trail, Which takes you all the way to Niagara falls.

Picture's flipped. Sounds like a nice ride, though.
