Last Sunday I tested the race route of the Gorrick Torq 3-6-9 XC Endurance race which will be at Minley this coming Sunday 10th May. Minley has been the subject of some quite destructive forestry work and the Gorrick team have had a lot of work to do to sort out the route. I rode with Peter from...

Thank you so much. I can see it now you've told me. It wasn't a big deal as I record my rides primarily on my Garmin Explore 2 and have both the Garmin and Flow connected to Strava. But I wanted to fix this long awaited "fix" from Bosch. Anyway, again, thanks a lot.

Can you tell where that is please.

I'm on Flow 1.34.7 (1131) and using a Kiox 300. As always, the Kiox pairs successfully with my chest HRM and displays my HR whilst riding. At the end of the ride there is no recorded HR visible in Flow, and therefore not uploaded to Strava. I've just opened a ticket with Bosch...... but since...

Continuing with my discovery of "Gravel" I've done a bit more exploring of the Swinley Forest area and this time concentrated more on actual gravel and fire roads rather than the official Swinley trails I've been doing recently. I used Komoot to help me. Great fun in lovely weather.

I thought I'd put the new(ish) Specialized Creo 2 Comp gravel bike on some singletrack. It was good fun and made for an enjoyable ride. No hiccups but a foot down on one of the berms that was very dry and loose.

My two penneth... I've had a few Gopros in the past, the last being the GP8. I was generally happy with it but got fed up with it suddenly freezing (usually at the worst time) and having to pull the battery to unfreeze it. I've now had my DJI Action 4 for a year or so. Really happy with the...

A bit repetitive perhaps but having had a few more days on the Creo 2 Comp I went back to Swinley Forest to see how it (and me) went on doing all of the Blue trails. I started on Blue 9 and rode to the last trail, Blue 13. Then from Blue 1 to Blue 8 to complete the Blues. I couldn't do Blue 7 as...

I'm coming around to the same way of thinking. I do have to overcome this thing with me having to work hard to look far enough ahead on steep downhills due to my neck being a bit stiffish. I've been riding with my mtb helmet (Troy Lee) and it's peak which sort of restricts my view. I think...

Another vote for the Stuntman Chest Mount. I've had mine for a few years now and massively better than the GP Chesty.

I think that's fair comment. If you're on something pretty "bumpy" and you decide to move from hoods to drops you need to plan a bit in advance especially if you're looking to activate the dropper post. Although once you've got used to it more I think it will become more intuitive. By "you've"...

Following on from a post a few days ago and the question of riding on the drops on a gravel bike I went out today to see whether riding on the drops on the trails would work for me. Anyway, I'd basically say, Yes... it felt fine, the hardest bit for me in doing this is that it put a strain my...

Exactly! I can't see me doing any significant drops ins on the drops.... I've got the feeling it wouldn't allow me to get my weight back enough :eek: o_O:eek:

LOL.... I fixed the howling brakes this morning. Funny conditions yesterday... very wet everywhere, even on the bits that look dry(ish) there was underlying water. Usually I'm pretty easy on brake pads but took it fairly cautiously yesterday trying to get used to the bike. And the drops, no...

I'm never sure what the deal is with gravel bikes and posting here, but I'll chance my arm it is OK? A few days ago I bought a Specialized Creo 2 Comp as some e-gravel rather appealed to me with my previous background (pre-mtb) as a roadie. I've pottered around sorting out the apps and...

LOL.... I always set off with the objective of not dabbing (I used to ride motorbike trials) but, as you can see from my handle my son gave me.... "MasterDabber".... I wasn't always successful.

Interesting..... not so long ago I filmed an endurance XC race our son was competing in and for a brief time we were near the start/finish area where there was music playing in the background. When I posted the the video on YT I got a notification that I was breaching the rules and to take it...

Two nice videos...... Rivertec looks like some of it could catch you out quite easily (as you say 50:50). On the "Melrose" one I'm interested where you got the music..... licence free? or something else?

I have a personal phobia when I come to "North Shore Boardwalk" type sections and features. They really spook me and I'll avoid them whenever possible.... especially if they're wet and not chicken wired.

Very nice video of a fabulous area. I really enjoyed Moab when I was there.... unfortunately not mtbing although that was being ridden above my paygrade. I just love Utah. I've still got my Moab Brewery hat.
