Back on the bike after quite a while. Forgot my bike computer (!), but my legs (and bum) reckon bit over 40k and ~850m climbing. Did a wee bit of exploring, and found lovely singletrack, as well as a nice new spot for coffee and home made lentil ‘cup-a-soup’. Featuring Penguin, my personal barista (and selfie double), for #coffee matters. #cycling #gravel #gravelfoyle #trossachs (@jd this my #AlcoholStove setup)

@tf Ah, lovely stuff. A fine looking bike and I'm geeking at the Imco lighter too! What do you use as wadding in your stove? It looks like a great set up.

@tf It was a run round the Rhinns of Islay and some cheese and pickle sandwiches for me this weekend.

@tf It's a Gilles Berthoud bag (https://berthoudcycles.fr/en/934-handlebar-bag-gb25-gray.html). It was a serious indulgence but I've had it for years now, use it constantly, and it's only beginning to break in so I don't regret it. I'll admit I do keep peering at it and thinking I could make a passable equivalent - but it's a long queue of potential projects.

@jd ah, I have a Berthoud rear view mirror on that bike. Also an indulgence.
