Could even look at sutton park on a cx bike , not hilly at all and should be quite firm in places, place is pretty good for a cross bike, and alot bigger than u think

Awesome effort Steve,well done

its what i rode at the time 🙂 … Stumpjumper m4

Ride 2 miles to work, 2 miles home , repeat sunday ! 🙁

DOOGEE Y100 Pro 4G LTE Android 5.1 MTK6735 2GB 16GB Dual SIM Smartphone 5.0 Inch 13MP Camera
Around the £80 mark , works great 🙂

If this is HOW it should be then ill keep quiet and ride it and say no more , I`ll just make sure the next one is fully painted or matt lacquer as it wouldnt show up then

the other 2 pics are Way of the Roses, 170 miles from morecambe to bridlington so yeah a coast to coast

Ah! Apologies OP.

Not a problem 😀 if i can stretch to the better TCR then i will, but not looking that way at the minute 🙁

Why confused ? , dont think you read the original post correctly , did say original budget of £1500 but have had to reduce that hence the pricing of the basic 2016 tcr or planet x

@ Nipper99 …same place 2 years ago

Now use this for my adventures

to do this
