Now we know you have Chips as style guide at Singletrack so its perhaps understandable but c'mon... only Sylvie had the right helmet on.
Helmet peaks and gravel bikes is all kinds of wrong! We all know there are rules and they are there to be broken ... but you shouldn't break this one!
good video though! 🙂
My excuse is that my Diablo mount doesn't fit on my road lid, and a loaded bike has no cockpit space! So actually, that's not an excuse, it's a reason.
Nice vid. Enjoyed that.
Watched it last night as a had my supper, Very Cool "slow telly" to wind down after work. Looks like you had fun (apart from lack of pizza, obvs)
hmmmm.... almost but still no; we know you know! :-)))
My excuse is I only have mountain bike helmets - this whole gravel experience is new to me lol!
We did it last year and really enjoyed the experience. I think your video captures it beautifully.
In Adrians defence, I hear the campsite experience was a massive step up from last year and I'm sure he'll have it nailed by next time. It will have been those chaps in 'gravel' helmets all eating 3 pizza's each 😉
No pizza still beats the thai chow mein I got from the chinese last year, if I hadn't been so hungry I'd have launched the firey b****** in the bin!
