Hey Snowman, welcome. I’m Tamworth, so just over the hill. Can get to Lichfield and back pretty much all on single-track bridleway, and canal towpath, too. Perhaps we should arrange a local meet...?
It would be good for an initial meet-up. But the White Peak does call me.... Lots of lovely xc stuff. Used to do some mtb orienteering there back in the day. Great fun and I was always in the last 4 or 5 in my age category, but it was a great way of getting out for a few hours and exploring...
Using Specialised’s Mission Control app, at the end of a ride it automatically uploads it to Strava (assuming you’ve linked the apps) and then when you go into Strava it shows as an eBike ride without having to change anything. That might only work for that particular app and brand, of course...
Got the courier’s email late this afternoon. Delivery tomorrow (13th). Needs a signature. Looks like I will be “working from home”. Sleepless night ahead!
Right. Due to the huuuuge delays in delivery from Evans cycles of the Trek Powerfly Sport, which on Wednesday this week pushed eta from 13th Dec to 6 Feb, I have cancelled the order.
Gutted for about 5 minutes.
Then I thought that it was the universe telling me something, and ordered a Turbo...
Thanks for that response. I used to go round Cannock on my old hardtail analogue bike, and had great fun. That was 8-10 years ago, mind you. Also did sime of the MTB Orienteering in the Peak District and other routes, too. All with no probs and with many smiles. I’m 50 now, though, and not...
I have, indeed. I had a test ride on one and did just that. I’ll manage, I think, until the point I do my back in and have to get a full-suspension, a towbar and towbar rack on prescription!
The main concern right now is budget.
Also, I've had analogue hardtails for years, and ridden in various places on and off road throughout the UK, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The riding I prefer is a mix of road, bridleway and tracks. My main goal initially is to just get the legs moving...
Hello!
Older, fatter, time-restricted and frustrated at a lack of cycling!
But no more! Once my Trek Powerfly Sport hardtail arrives in a few weeks....
I’ve gone for this bike as I want to commute, tour a little bit, and do some off-road trails at the weekends, or on the way home from work...
