Seriously though, what front ring are you using for Snowdon? I'm guessing a 30? if so I'll have to get one from On-One. Only got a 32 atm.

Good point - am trying to get a list together of parts I need to take that you wouldn't normally bother with. The two days will be pretty intense on us and more importantly the bikes. I've got spare tyre with tube (in case one of the HD's is torn) Errr...that's it so far  |

I've got spare tyre with tube (in case one of the HD's is torn) Errr...that's it so far A couple of things which you might not normally consider ..a tyre boot ( our group got caught out badly in the Cairngorms a couple of years back when a rear tyre exploded ..and we didn't have one between us ) a power link or two ..which you probably carry anyway..and a foil blanket ...just in case ( god forbid ) you have an accident ..at that height even in April the body can cool down fairly quickly due to temperature and shock ..and hypothermia can't be ruled out . Looking on the black side ..but accidents can happen in the blink of an eye ... |

I got out for the first time in weeks today, 21 miles with 3100ft elevation, absolutely done in now, I didn't think I'd lost that much fitness until roughly 30 seconds after I started, legs were burning all day!

Still weigh the same I did in secondary school (yes, I went to school) I was the same as you Jay, I could eat anything and everything and never put weight on but then you hit 40 and it stays on you a little longer than before. That said a couple bags of prunes and a good ride soon gets me back to under 11 stone  |

Also - I don't actually know what a tyre boot is.  Should you get a tyre blow-out ...it sits between the tube and the tyre where it has split ..to stop the tube from bulging out ( and puncturing ) |
