Tegernseer Hell is a fine drink !
We found that the Helles and the Hefeweizen beers in the Rosenheim and Traunstein areas have a lovely creamy quality to them you don't get in other parts of Bavaria.

That chain'll still cut with boltcutters faster than you can find the keys in your pocket and undo the padlock. Sorry to be a downer but it's better than trusting ineffectual security... (Onguard can be really good value though, I have the same chain for light duty and their big chonky d-locks are amazing value as long as you don't get em wet)

Full sugar Dr Pepper....

10mm ain't enough on a chain lock, 14 or 15mm is better. I've just invested in an angle grinder resistant Hiplock DX1000, looks the part, impressive key too, definitely need more than a standard cylinder pick too.

I for one like Benji's holiday snaps.

I too am always on the lookout for a big backpack, my present Thule one is excellent for summer and the battery storage compartment keeps my sandwiches from getting squashed, however, for big winter days I need room for a flask and heavy duty survival bag. My ancient Camelbak may have to come back into service but I could really do with a new one. The Deuter Trans Alpine 32 EL above looks interesting but when I go on the Deuter website it states it’s no longer available! Have you been sent old stock?

perhaps ignore the above! I’ve been on a different Deuter.com website and it’s available, weird!

The Hope cranks look great. But I don’t think I could either justify or trust carbon cranks.
