John, you've got to start doing this kind of stuff

Not quite the same

Ok let me re word that.

There are no good gravel roads south of the border apart from fire road double tracks and the odd stretch here or there.....

And there is nothing "local" to me whatsoever.

Let's face it....
Apart from forest fire roads the UK does not have a real gravel roads.

I'm not a fan of the branding name of a "Gravel Bike" mines an "Adventure Bike"
I use it to get me to compacted muddy trails using quiet roads/tracks/trails quicker than I can on my other bikes.

What gets me is this thing you've got looks kinda exactly the same for £10. Stupendous.

It's not as light as 500g, but close enough for the money

Well done to those who got and are out, or camping in their gardens today and tonight. I did my DIY and home stuff today, plus some bike faffing. I'm hoping that then forecast of it warming up overnight is correct as it's an ice rink here on our local roads with all the black ice. Of course Sammy is...
