@wtk001 is attempting the Bob Graham Round starting the 13th of July. Any of my trail running buddies @ultrabritton@TMR_Coaching if you could retweet or think of anyone that fancies a wee jog, let us know!
@Scottishrunner @antonmcgale The more you like a bike, the more you want to ride it though! And that means being comfortable and fun... worth paying for those things (and conversly not paying for a few grams saving if you get what you need for less).
@Scottishrunner You could also just lock out the suspension (assuming your bike has that, most do) and change the wheels and/or tyres to something narrower and slicker. It would make a significant difference to speed on easy ground.
@Scottishrunner Ah something like The Heb? I think it depends on how good your MTB is, how much you'd use it as a MTB otherwise, how competitive you want to be and how secure the bike storage is at your work!
@Scottishrunner If you want to adventure race the rules might say it has to be a mountain bike. If you're "just riding", or doing gravel races ... I've just bought a gravel bike +1 to mountain bike and fallen in love! It would be cheaper to convert but wanted both and it rides like a dream.
@bgr0@ebrunner0@DawnThomas2311@UKRunChat I've been really pleased with my M&S zip front one. I did spend ages trying different sizes in the shop, and found that even what looked like the same design in different colours actually sized a bit differently, so it was worth trying. No wires.
@GiveMeSpace3 I would go baggy waist. Hate a waistband digging in when I lean over on a bike and they're not going to fall down when you're cycling. Plus as someone else said, they'll wear thin quicker in critical places if they're stretched!
@FlyGuyYYC@EurostarJustinp I'm going to take a guess at Le Café de l'Est ... I went there in the summer, my friend had this soup and the surrounds look very familiar! (If not, can still recommend 😀)
