Gravel / Gravé / Gnarmac / Groad / ATB

Crikey, how do you get onto that bit?

Was the organised GloriousGravel ride, so assume they get access granted for the day to MOD sections...worth the entry fee for that alone. And finish was at Thruxton, watching planes take off over the finish line. Top day out

Lovely! Proper prosecco gravel.

I mean I do kinda want a Brompton but I dunno about grav grav one

This makes more sense to me, surelya Brompton would benefit from flexibility occasional use scenarios. Like a hybrid.
We all ride fancy hybrids anyway

fucking amazing

of course I would like to know how often 50 x 10 is used on gravel

absolute chefs kiss. Have you got the pathfinders set up tubeless? really interested to hear how they perform on tarmac as well as gravel

You should know home is always down hill…

Yeah tubeless, come up 44 on a 25 internal. I’m curious as I’m coming from a fairly quick tyre Terravail Cannonball which I like.

Looks perfect for the VIA gravel meet-ups. Tube from KX out to Epping. Sorted.

I'm allowed to ride again. I have a Crux but I barely remember how to ride a bike. I think I'll spend all day tomorrow putting suspension components on the Surly and then sack the idea of riding off for a BBQ at a mate's instead. #spiritofgravel

Thudbuster G4 and Redshift stem installed (this time with single 70 blue elastomer for flat bars) on the Surly. Plan is train out of London and 125k ish. Will the fat man even make it to the train station? Stay tuned. But first, a shit.

Nope. Harrow on the Hill doesn't have a ticket machine so we can't even get tickets for the planned trip to Aylesbury. Why do I even bother?

Fairly quick from my first outing entirely road loop I do quite often,

Sure I have the new carbon bars and the Hope RX calipers just waiting to get some Red Axs etap hrd, might of found some but just waiting to hear back.

Might get some more full frame pictures of it currently.

When gravel turns to hike a bike :/
