i should think that most people are taller than dogs and would agree with you on that but dogs are not cowards , they are armed with a mouthful of sharp teeth and are born hunters even the smallest of dogs can be nasty i think if the owner is a bit fruitloop then the dog will copy and if the owner i...

i was attacked by a dog while walking once i was bitten and was very annoyed when the owner come walking from half a field away saying ooo he's never done that before ! i phoned the police to find out what my rights are as to protecting myself and they said - if you are in fear of a dog that is not ...

how about going to ridewithgps web site - type in lejog - choose one of the tried and tested routes - get your map and copy in pen - simple

what did you get for x
dont say say cross roads that cant count surely

although some of the cycle track along side of a9 ( old a9 ) is wonderful , some of it is terrible . i was lucky as it was a dry day as i was going through the dirt and leaves but if it was wet i think i would have dobbed onto the a9 a bit more than i did in fear of sliding or puntures

ive just been from perth to dingwall following the old a9 most the way and although some of it is lovely tarmac and brilliantly safe from traffic - a lot of it was rotted leaves , twigs and loose surface . i couldn't help thinking if it was raining it would be a real dodgey surface . though a few ti...

we went from kilmarnock then caught a ferry to arran , another ferry to the mainland out the top then on to oban , i thought it was a brilliant route for scenery but a longer day as we waited for ferries - i would leave early and get the first ferry out the way if i done it again as it was dark for ...

i have been given a raleigh tempest - without measuring i know it is far to large for me so i was wondering if it was worth repairing ( back wheel buckled and needs bars tape - apart from that not bad condition ) then trying to sell or just put in back of garage till the next clear out - i know noth...

i dont own a 800 but i have got the 705 and i know you have to set it up carefully ( tick the right boxes in the depth of settings ) are you sure there isnt a box in settings to stop it recalculating routes and tracks before you get the hammer out i would go in deep

if you are still looking for some company i could well be interested - depending on your plans - i live in northants so not far from you really but i wont bore you too much now just incase you have sorted something - if you havent then let me know and we can go from there - cheers

had 2 creaks sorted when i thought it was pedals as it happened when giving it some welly up hill - 1 was handlebars and other was loose chainring bolt - took some fiinding though

sorry if anyone else has posted this but could you try the front tyre on the back wheel ? if it dont happen then it is the tyre - also have you checked on the off chance if there is a foreign body loose in the tyre - if there is a small stone loose , while you are turning tyre checking it , the ston...

sorry i have work commitments till 1st week in sept and was hoping for a 5 -9 day tour then ( taking in 2 weekends ) so guess i will have to back out - hope you have a good trip and this sun continues

when are you thinking of doing it ? far far a day ? could be interested

FAIRLY STEEP :shock: they are damn near vertical ! i live in northamptonshire and go out that way when i fancy a hard ride , the scenery is brilliant thru rutland and sneaking into leicestershire but if you go the wrong way on the ridges ie up and down rather than along the bottom or top they can gi...
