Pretty nice out this evening. Warwickshire
There's been so much gravel chat recently, it was time to take the #gradventourer for a spin.

👍
I thought most cyclists were being pretty responsible in the face of this lockdown, but out walking today I spotted this flagrant disregard for social distancing.
Theres no way that's 2 metres!
Should I report them?

Another bimble with Mrsstu.

Summer tyres on my winter bike while my summer bike is out of action and I’m loving it .
My new lock down loop gives me a 2 mile downhill and this is the top of it. If there’s a longer off-road downhill inside the M25 I’d be surprised.
One from yesterday on some local tracks and trails, absolutely loving this weather at the moment.

[/img][/url]"Cut up to my usual loop via the city centre instead today as it's quieter! Was rather peaceful where I stopped for a short rest. That tree under the bridge is massive btw, so big they can't remove it easily.
Second ride out on my new cross bike
Nice ride to empty(ish) beach, to sit in the sun
G-Ones??
Chesterton Windmill, Warwickshire
Late one tonight for me.

G-Ones?
Yeah. Why do you ask..?
Particularly liking the trees and dogs on this thread.
Here's today's adventure. Since the wee guy upgraded himself from toddlebike to balance bike we're going to bits of our village I've never seen. It's great.
@DezB - No particular reason. I really like the photo and the tyre is the focal point, so was curious.
Cool, thanks 🙂
Yeah, journey is about half n half gravel/road, so the G-ones are ideal. Did get a puncture on the way, but only reason I knew about it was I got sprayed with jizz up the back of my leg! Made it the rest of the way without pumping the tyre. 🙂
I've got WTB Riddlers on my Camino (not tubeless) they're nice but puncture easily.
Thankfully they're getting quite worn now so I have an excuse to buy new tyres
Have got to a stage now, where I just replace G-Ones with G-Ones. They're not cheap (in TR version) so usually snap them up off ebay or in sales
A lovely jaunt out to the Singing Ringing Tree near Burnley this morning. Having not ridden a road bike for years, I am absolutely loving these empty roads. After I took this shot I did the descent from up here for about 5 miles down into Waterfoot and I wasn't passed by a single car. mental!

Gentle spin out on a running rest day to get the legs moving. River towpath was expectedly busy for a friday afternoon at 20 degrees.
Came back a different way, set 2 PB's on a couple of climbs, one of which I've not been able to better for aaaaaages, and by 6 seconds on a 1:20 climb... 😀
43km In glorious weather and a few kilometres along the Fife Coastal Path to Elie, didn't pass anyone!
Back,back,back on Fat.
Backyard bivvy tonight so a wee pootle round the locale beforehand.

This lot wasn't there a couple of days ago. Dirty, dirty b*stards.... Just what is wrong with people?
Less than half a mile from the local council tip in Telford (OK, it's closed at the moment, but who didn't know that, so why load the car up in the first place?)
Gravel "adventure" to bag the highest point in Cambridgeshire and Essex (they are only a couple of miles apart). Pic at the Essex high point - a whopping 151 m.
The geographic high point was also the high point of the ride as featured actual singletrack for a few metres, bluebells and a couple of Roe deer.
