    If it's an official bridleway or footpath you have right of way.

    Perhaps he looks slightly less gaunt as it's still early in season and no high Cols to traverse yet! But I do think he's less haunted looking this season.

    Nice to see him win again. And good for Uno X.

    Aventon Current EXP Electric Mountain Bike (Official EBR Review)

    Very smart looking bike. I'll be interested to see their prices in Europe & U.K. once they launch this year. And how they implement sales.

    Compilation of a couple of rides last week in the lovely sunny weather. This is my favourite time of year, for at least the last ten years mid March to end of April we seem to often get long dry spells. Could almost bet on it, this year after over 2 months of daily rain I was praying we'd get...

    Yep uphill finish. Pidcock said the terrain on the coast was all up and down with a lot of winds; cross, head and tailwinds. The recovery of these guys is insane, 2nd in Milan San Remo Saturday, third here on Monday with all the travel in between. The travel alone would force me into a lazy...

    So my question of the day is what separates a GC leader from a GC leader in the same team?! Who tells a rider who has shown GC chops in big Grand Tours that actually they are now just mountain domestiques? Or is it left open in the team and based- going into a stage race like Calalunya - on...

    Apparently there are 99 words for rain in Irish and only one for sun. Figures.

    That's the point Jeremy, without the crash Pog would likely have won easier. The crash levelled the playing field. Without it, it might have been a procession. Though we'll never know. I'll be interested to see what MVDP says. And if Ganna just didn't have the legs today.

    Van Aert rocking up casually at the end like that to take third. "Did you all forget about me?" 😂

    Not for years. The crash helped open it up, was pretty sure that was Pog done for- the extra effort, even with Brandon dragging him back, the extra effort I thought would pay by the end but it could be MVDP suffered more in the crash, commentators kept mentioning blood on his hand and fingers...

    Great drama. Hats off to Pog. I was hoping Tom would pip him, but christ he deserves that win after the crash and getting back. Amazing.

    Yes three again, but thinking about teams like Ineos doing so much work for Ganna and in 1 minute blown away.

    The sheer acceleration of Pog. Flipping heck.

    Then you should probably subscribe to Trace Velo, he's bought and tested Chinese parts for years. Mostly road/gravel. He rides and tests himself, not sponsored and gives honest reviews of what is good value, what works and what doesn't. And with parts he'll often ride for months giving long...

    Yep, I had those leather 'hairnet' style, yanked down over cycling cap. Had a bad crash when turning senior, was in hospital for three months with spinal injuries, and when I came out had my finals in school then off to college - didn't race again but went back to mountain biking which I'd...
