Maybe they keep the ferrets in their trousers to keep them away from pets and small children. Surely the responsible thing to do when carrying (a ferret) in public.I’m a little sick to my stomach after reading about ferrets. I had a friend who had ferrets and he described what happened to a cat that tangled with one of them.

You should have a line of bike manufacturers who would sponsor you with a new bike. Giant should be first in line.

@Chargeride: I've just watched your "Pennine Bridleway" video, and I admit you had a hard ride together with Brian! Congratulations for completing it!
No idea why Brian's Garmin Instict watch produced such wrong results. Your iGPSport device is a true cycling computer (only without the maps), so no wonder it was accurate.
You might try Komoot anyway.
There are as many as 78 ready routes around Burnley UK. Meaning, someone had actually made the trip and defined a public route for other users.
Please try in on a computer:
Happy New Year to you and to you all!

I use plotaroute mainly because it has an excellent route creating interface and I save the files as gpx on the computer and my phone for backup.
The route was 25m, 19 offroad, but I cut one loop off because it was a 2 mile loop with 800ft climb and would have left us empty

I was wondering why the comments are trailing off, 92% of my viewers are watching on a tv, only 8% on mobile and tablet, this is what youtube are pushing, they want to be a serious tv channel.
so stop promoting slop then !!!

My point was Komoot had excellent ready and proven trails that you could immediately use, and even easily change the starting point of the trip...
I also wonder what is worse with the Komoot route planning interface compared to plotaroute.

I was talking to St. Peter the other day, and he let me in on a little secret: You'll be judged harshly on your choice of cycling route planner at the Pearly Gates, so you better get it right.
Me: Wow, so which one gets you into Heaven? Komoot, RideWithGPS, plotaroute, Google Maps, a map-covered dart board?
St. Peter: You'll have to pray for that guidance yourself.
Me: Well, could you at least tell me if @Stefan Mikes is getting in?
St. Peter: Sorry, we can't discuss ongoing investigations.

Using a wrong route planner might get you to the Pearly Gates earlier than expected!

Meanwhile, near Warsaw Poland...
The Little Frog has announced any loyalty reward points should be used up this year. A little frenzy has accured! You could use your "żappkas" for hot drink, regular beer (I don't drink it), snacks, and several other defined products. Of course, I had to visit Żabka to use mine, too
Frost, snowing, and a 20 mph westerly wind were not particularly good for cycling
It is snowing all the time. It will be pretty interesting if I can visit the laundromat and buy Nescafe Gold (new) in the morning...
