Right people, having had an incident a few weeks ago where my sleeping bag locked up my back wheel at 80mph.

Straps, bungees etc. Don't rely on them. Even if they are damm tight one failure can cause grief. Double up.

198 miles in mid wales, light rain but fairly warm, just grabbing breakfast.

Cheers Mark

Must admit Tim, your incident reminded me of GM2 when I went up with Badger DaveP and Claire...the only thing stopping my sleeping bag doing what yours did was, the snow plough at the back, has its uses! It was bouncing about for miles, as it dropped off my rack!

AR Etiquette:

Can I wear my GM IV shirt, or is that a faux pas?
