Just like the option to be safer off the road and there is a option of canals, small section of bridle way and quiet roads … thinking more slick based tyres but with some off road capabilities ..

Looking at having a go at a bit of bikepacking , where do i source the large rear seat packs and frame bags seen on alot of the bikes ?

I travel through yardley and sheldon every day,so will keep an eye out for it ..

Was up the lickeys a few weeks ago and seen the destruction,real shame but spose it has to be done ….. Some of the tracks are a real mess though :(

@ Rocketdog …. Thats Franklys track isn’t it ? …. have raced there plenty of times when i raced 1/8th nitros …. even helped lay the track when the club was formed there ….. if you think bikes are expensive to run , you should try these ! ….. uber expensive to run competitively with nitro fuel at £30 plus a gallon !

Well done that man, ive rode 107 miles on a road bike but only in a small group ….. its a great feeling as you go through the 100 mile barrier :)
Stella well deserved :D
