• anyone remember gravel riding?

    you know like

    when it's 22 degrees

    it's sort of sunny but could rain

    you got some like, checked shirt on, bibs under some dickies

    sun doesn't go down till like 8pm

    rona numbers are low enough to feel good cycling with some pals and keep nodders in the pubs

    the bridal paths are dry and crisp

    you dont need to hose your bike down after

    when you breath in your lungs dont feel like icicles

    you're worrying about if you have enough water, not about if you have the layers

    you just get on your bike, dont agonise over the weather

    can cycle mid week because it's not dark after work

    your brakes dont squeal

    honestly, just want it back, feel like pure shit

  • This is my gravel bike now, it just does road and the odd cyclepath. I remember vaguely having another wheelset with bigger tires, knobs and a massive 46t cassette, not used it in months.
    RIP gravel, we had a good summer.

  • Sounds like my visits to the new forest and Suffolk.... and I miss them 😢
