My anxiety and unwillingness to use online chat to haggle such a deal knows no bounds.
so i took the 20% offer and just got them anyway. If they fit i'll stash them away until it is actually wet enough to justify having them as they don't look the easiest to take off on a regular basis.
As for...
So today's one didn't quite go to plan. I wanted to go to wharncliffe so that's what i had planned to do. 2 of my riding buddies came along but somewhere along the way wires must have got crossed. We ended up starting at grenoside which i wasn't all that bothered about and when we did get down...

mild weather (8-15) - i just get wet
cold weather (-10 to 7)- cheap base layers, a breatheable mid layer and cheap thin rain coat and vaugely waterproof trousers. And water resistant/leather style hiking boots with warm socks. and some waterproof ski style...

not going to lie when watching the track walk video i was getting worried for the health of some riders given the scale of some of the 'features'. Doesn't take much to end up in a whole lot of trouble. Whilst an "enduro" bike lewis buchannan's norco range with a downhill fork on it seems to be...
