Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

I can just stalk you on strava so don't care about seeing your routes posted

@PhilDAS sorta the joke...

Who needs other people's routes?

Go do some exploring. It's possibly the best thing about riding a bike

Who needs other people's routes?
Go get some #content . It's possibly the only reason for owning a gravel bike

Can't be a joke, it wasn't funny

To beeline it straight to the content.
In and out, home in time to load up photoshop and HDR the crap out of it.

It was.

Evans were good about it. Let me have a spare freebie mech hanger too. All good.

I normally steal a route and then modify it to extend or shorten. It's nice to have something decent in advance if you're doing a lunch break ride and need to be done in a certain time.

If you don't know where you're going, you could end up in Croydon or something. And nobody wants that.

I think people don't post the routes because normally the concept is to ride through 20km busy a roads, 10km shit from a butt mud fields, then take a photo of an extremely un representative 200m of fishtank gravel

And incredibly crowded cycleways and canals. Last two times I crashed I got taken off by careless idiots wobbling about in supermarket MTBs.

What were you doing riding there?

Nice all black is nice actually!

Needed some cat litter for a heavily curated no gravel picture

Mine was loosely based on the lost lanes West route : wildflowers and watchtowers
40km road 40km gravel/nice dry mud/towpath

0km shit from a butt 2km A-Road this time

PM if you wanna Komoot.

I actually like planning my routes, testing them, sharing with other people and taking in suggestions and comments from whoever had a go at it

That route we took through Epping Forest prompted me to buy a new bike.

I appreciate this. Think your Dirty Kanzelled routes was one of the first 'gravel' things we rode. There was quite a bit of chit chat about your routes on Weekend Rides thread (before we started needing goggles, a snorkel and 3 pairs of jockey wheels to get around them). ;)

Though always nervous putting it out there, waiting for someone to find a fault or complain!

Maybe it's time to start a nogravel/shitfromabutt route sharing thread?

@skinny Are you done mapping out all the gravel in 100km radius from Girona?

we need less threads, not more. mods pls nuke this thread first

I'd be at it for years.

You mean, "help make it better"? :P

Strava route nicking is a dangerous game. I did an objectively dreary suburban ride out to reccee a bivvy spot near about 50m(etres) of prime bridleway last year. The weather was nice and I was in a great mood, so declared it something along the lines of "most fun I've had on a bike in ages".
Cue 2 pals blindly going on a thoroughly disappointing (for them) ride through Oldham the following day.
