Yesterday in Swaledale. Perfect ride conditions for what I consider to be one of the longest, best, natural descents in England, Melbecks to Gunnerside.

Great area, I'm jealous as I won't be able to make it 😢 but I'm sure you'll have a good day. Have you ordered some more torrential rain and high winds in advance?!

Nope, those gortex 5tens are brilliant water buckets!

Hi Neil, Looking forward to meeting up with you and everyone else tomorrow. Appreciate your time and efforts putting this ride together. The weather forecast looks reasonable for us too. I've just WhatsApp you as an easier form of contact. Cheers Dave

Heck! Wednesday I can't but I can on the Thursday! Never mind.

I'd enquire with your LBS first just to confirm it's true, but that's how it reads in the Bosch email?

I was hoping that they would say 'yes there's an adapter version which replaces the kiox control..) Alas its not to be..🥺

Cheers for that information. I do indeed remove the battery after each ride? I'm finding with mine that when powered up there is absolutely no interaction between the remote and the kiox? If I was lucky I could gently manipulate the small cable (at one particular place between the bar and stem...

Hi Mitch, Good to see Trek gathering customer feedback. I ride the Rail 9 and its a game changer for me and I really do love this bike. My only quibble is with the remote control for the Kiox. I'd described it a weak point in the drive set up as it's location, size and micro cable are prone...

Just about to descend into Chop Gate from the Cock Howe boundary stones (in picture) on a sneaky, steep techy piece of natural singletrack. 2 fences to lift over. Best ridden on a quiet day to avoid ascending walkers! It was dusty, dry and fun!

The Castle Bolton loop section is going to be your best bet as it's 'mostly' access roads for the estate vehicles. The descent down to Castle Bolton is grassy but quite corrugated and will bounce your eyeballs out. The Grinton section has rocky sections and definitely requires experience of...
