Well, not if you're riding the long Traka there's not :P

560km? That would take me a week.

Looks fine. What was all the fuss about?

There has undoubtedly been a lot of rain here but I've been riding in the UK for the last six months so it's not really an issue.

It was just nice to get a good ride in up the Els Angles off road climb and wear short sleeves and enjoy the sun on my back.

In fairness there was a thunder storm and we got wet in the last 8km returning into Girona centre but on balance I will take that.

I still haven't got my money back from the cancelled Exeter train due to flooding at Easter and I was fucking pissed about that.

May have put a deposit down on a Crux yesterday 😬

You've changed man

The true spirit of gravel

Where was this on Dartmoor? I am in Tavistock and always on the look out for nice rides over the moors.

Which one!?

Nice ride around Bewl Water today with my daughter, thanks to a polling day off, inadvertently turned in to a 6 hour suffer fest, despite what insta might suggest.

Dartmoor?

I'm going to guess it's the route near King's Tor https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.5477165,-4.041276,3a,75y,76.81h,79.96t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipN43_9rSHkLD4asd501mVooBqvZEb0XALSCUgKk!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipN43_9rSHkLD4asd501mVooBqvZEb0XALSCUgKk%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-2.755064-ya66.81848-ro3.861527-fo100!7i5760!8i2880!5m1!1e3?entry=ttu

I think it was Sharp Tor on the Two Moors way. Just after this I turned into Abbots way which was Hike-a-bike through marshland.
I got on the moor at Okehampton some good twin track but a lot of walking down to Burrator reservoir. Nice trails from there to Lee Moor where I camped.
Then the bit above, then loads more hikeabike
Then NCN back to The White Hart in Okehampton.

I go to Devon or Cornwall most months for work so am trying to find good routes as well. Are there any near Tavistock?
I’m thinking of looking round Postbridge next.

I really have. Mostly through the middle though.`

@GoatandTricycle The 2023 Comp with Rival in Dove Grey. The forest green is a great colour but the stripey graphics are dead af.

There's a few here. I rode the Goss Moor loop last month which was a decent ride. Can extend it by heading to Padstow for a lunchtime pasty
