Looks ‘gangsta’! Are you not missing some spokes? [emoji12]

Do we have a conclusive distance of L2B race? I see a range from 50 — 75 miles. That is a big diff!

Point taken, Misterrr Hodge. Some scheduled maintenance will be in order. On a second thought... just maybe... I can justify some new shiny ‘footballer wheels’ and hubs [emoji41]

Much fun in the New Forest [emoji38]

This is the dilemma. HT off road will finish my butt off... the 16 mph doesn’t worry me... but the hill with 45 miles in the legs does call for ebike treachery [emoji12] I think I need to do some measurements and careful planning

I was under the impression that all ex colonies standardised on ‘sarnie’ ... Tisk Tisk Tisk!

PhilBaker , I have heard that most people ride on hard tails, so the terrain cannot be too difficult, except for the DB climb. Is that correct and fair assumption? I want to do it on eMTB, but analogue HT might be a more intelligent proposition [emoji36]

Very insightful John K , how is the 46mi up to the DB? Any opportunities to ride with motor off? To date, my battery range is ~35mi, so I am seriously short of Wh [emoji2957]

That sarnie should be a ‘controlled substance’ [emoji12] looks ÜBER!

Ha! 50 miles in... thanks Mike D.

Little things put a smile on my face [emoji38]

I don’t like his accent, but the challenge is interesting. I will try it with my TRX routine [emoji12] My PT tells me that full range of motion is important as it increases flexibility.

Great concept. Do they plan to support Shimano? There is no reference to it on their website.

I have set my motor assistance to the lowest settings and I am experimenting with the range, as I regularly ride without motor assistance, on a flat or downhill. How is the L2B terrain? Lots of hills? The problem is that my new bike supposed to land in July, with new/diff battery, so I have to...

They looked at your mate and said: Oh dear [emoji1662]

Imperial (or 1st world) problem! [emoji12]

Is anybody from this forum planning to ride BHF in September? It’s ~60 miles, so we will have to plan properly. Either motor in on-off, or spare brick. What would be your strategy? Pit-stops, fuel, batteries, settings, tyres, ... hot chicks in bikinis? I have Martini Racing helmet, just need...

Looks like you found Yeti!
