If you have an Exposure TraceR light and want to use it on a full sus mtb with a dropper post then I can recommend the saddle rail mount.

Q for the BlueSky experts: Can I configure Bluesky ‘Following’ so it starts at the last post I read rather than the last post posted when I log in?

Normandy Day 4: Bayeux to Bénouville via Gold Beach, Arromanches, the British Normandy Memorial, Juno Beach, Sword Beach & Pegasus Bridge.
A really nice ride in lovely weather but plenty of thoughts of what once was and how lucky we are.

Normandy Day 2: visits to the Crisbecq Battery, LeClerc Memorial and Utah Beach on the way from Quettehou to Carentan.
Utah Beach is lovely. It’s very sobering thinking how different it was in June 1944.

Normandy Day 1: not a bad ride from Cherbourg to Quettehue via Barfleur & St-Vaast-la-Hogue but the last 15km or so was tough going, mostly uphill and in to a 30km/h headwind.
Showered & settled in to our ‘luxury chalet’ now and ready to eat then sleep.

OK.
Let’s give this platform a go and hope it’s a nicer place than X has become since Melon Husk took over and allowed (encouraged?) it to become a cesspool of hate and lies.
