    Normally ride on my own but was great having her along with me. I don't think I'm a particularly strong cyclist because I've only been at it for a couple of years but I can hold my own. I dropped from 205 to 167 pounds and didn't lose strength so just go until I'm tired, get a coffee then go...

    Never ridden a gravel bike before but absolutely loved it. Drivers were brilliant to be fair. Cycle paths were better than the roads in the UK. I wanted to go further but partner was worried her battery wouldn't last on the ebike. Very quiet roads in general, bet it's chaotic in the Summer though

    Exactly that. Instant, precise shifting and it makes a cool little "derzzzz" noise every time I change gear which makes me happy

    Went for a little blast on the MTB this evening after work. Going well until I fell off and slid down a hill in the mud 😄😄 Definitely more fun staying upright!!

    Do you use Komoot? Very cool to plan and shows you elevation and terrain. You can filter in if you want to go MTB, Road, Gravel or hiking etc. Worth a look

    Good question. I got the Road bike in lockdown and loved going out and exploring. Never had a road bike before and probably not ridden any bike for 20 years. I bought the Mountain bike to have something that I could go out with the girls on and found it was quite nice just going out on...

    Had my road bike back after spending a day messing about with wheels, freehubs and everything else. Nightmare. Went out and did 65km. Was great fun and surprised how much I'd missed it after only Mountain biking for a month

    It was great weather yesterday so did just under 40km in about an hour and a half. Lovely to be out and about when the sun is shining and all the Daffodils and bulbs are out. Going to aim for 100 miles in a day over the summer
