Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Yes, Blackadder and Robbie Coltrane made sausages so much fun for everyone

Rode this today, found it somewhere on t'internet but can't recall where. Quite an interesting loop, not much gravel, lots of back roads but some interesting stuff. Fortunately no #SFAB

Frensham!

Looks great. Do you have a route that I could have a look at?

Photo I found on a blog from Epping forest in 2010 when things were real. On here?

On here?

Hope so

I need photo enhance to see if that's a young(er) @dicki

I thinks it's a dude called Chris Delia

Blog is worth a trawl. I think I found a vintage photo of pre fixe famous Rudy Melo.

I pretty much bathed in nettles today, not gonna lie, my legs feel amazing right now. The most incredible tingle.

rigorous nettle bashing to come out with immunity but I think the science says no.

Dredge, but you can definitely build a tolerance. You're likely not doing it enough.

In my teens my mates and I spent a lot of time getting mashed in woods full of nettles. I remember when a new kid came along and they were hoping about screaming from all the stings whereas the rest of us didn't notice them.

The next photo is, err, interesting :)

Fun fact; there are so many different species of nettles, some are mild, some linger on for weeks.

That body had absolutely nothing to do with me, right

Probably.

I still think tolerance and a PMA can get you through.

Anyway on the chubby wheel chat from some pages back, how come more people aren't using all those dirt cheap fatbikes floating around ebay?

Edit: this Ritchey Commando surely must be on here.

Natural deep heat?

That'll become an unbearable itch over the coming days

*not a fun fact

I think it's a lot better. Don't feel anything today, maybe I should have another go.

I went in again to collect additional data, it's still nice but the buzz is a bit less than yesterday. The initial sting is still unpleasant.
