You could ride around Salisbury plain which would be 95km and 1400m climbing. Not done it yet but it's on the list. you can cycle from BoA too. Good farm shop and pub in Edington too.

I have a cairn gravel bike with the Fazua motor for my 40km each way commute. I also have fixed lights on it which are great. It will get me there and back on one charge but the route isnt that hilly. Sometime my partner borrows it and leaves me for dead on the hills so it will definitely help there...

Hi Rich,

Sent you an email with the additional info.

Cheers

HI All, I have had a clear out of the garage and have the following for sale. Open to reasonable offers based on the guide price. postage is on top or happy to arrange delivery for anyone around the Bristol/Bath areas. I can provide more details and picture to individuals.

If you fancy something similar I have a medium 2015 genesis longitude rolling chassis with a set of Hugo wheels and 3 inch tyres that I keep telling myself to clean up and sell.

Just a quick thanks from me, had an vaguely exciting time on one of the best routes I've ridden. Unfortunately we couldn't make the mass start but met some nice people along the way (by taking all the shortcuts!) But I seriously under estimated how hard it was going to be, I've ridden in the alps be...

If it was you sorry I did not stop for a chat but was on a 5pm deadline to get home.

That was me! had your tarp packed, not that I needed it on such a lovely weekend!

I'll take it, I will send you a PM

Thanks guys, just need to get out and ride my bike a lot more now!

Hey, to change the subject to gearing I would love some advice. I'm going to be running 1-10 set up with 11-40 rear cassette and have 3 chain rings to choose from, I currently run a 43 tooth which is great for riding around Bristol but I have a 36 or a 34 to choose from as well. I am concerned that ...

I assume it was you sporting your Bearbones Jersey as you whizzed down butser hill towards QECP as I was riding up, your OH pointing out that its more fun riding down!

I had something similar after a week touring in the Alps, couldn't move my little finger side to side and had no grip strength. I had jones bars but only moved my hands around after I noticed the grip problems 4 days in. Anyway doctor said it was palsy and it took about a month to feel vaguely norma...

There is loads of free parking if you're willing to ride a mile or two to the start, I live in Harestock and its free to park where I am. would be a 10 min ride to the start. I might even see you out there as I plan to ride to QECP for a lap of the red and back.

Some great pics, nice to have met you theres a great pic of my back in there!
