"Alfer's Apple" XC/Gravel Group Ride (Warka) 10th October 2026 Alfer is an unusual person, a man of many talents. He started his competing career in Cross Country (XC) cycling many years ago, recently riding gravel. A popular and extremely likeable person, he is a kind of mentor to me. He could...

Of course, mate, I was wrong. England does experience harsh Winters :) (A photo from London).

When anyone proudly reports having owned a cheap e-bike, I have an urge to ask the person how good their fire insurance is. The man in question could not afford a new battery for a rubbish e-bike yet lost most family because.... All I say is a 950 pound sterling traditional pedal bike is still...

Sure I can understand the difference. Just wondering how you could even compare both e-bikes

I do respect your choice and can understand the punishing wind. Please understand a rider with a lot of experience of riding in the rough weather may have a different mental approach. Just for you to understand, my clothes were: A regular summer cycling jersey A top-end waterproof but...

Even more complicated. First, my frame size is M. No issue with 42 mm tyres. However, the rear SKS Speedrocker fender would not fit. Our rims are 21mm internal width, which is narrow as for the standard of today. If you squeeze a wider tyre into a narrow rim then the tyre "swells", or becomes...

Raining, windy, the temps below 10 C (50 F) yet I had a good time in a group of nine 💙 Still riding home with 12 km to go, expecting 72 miles for the day 🐴🐴🐴 "Alfer's Apple Group Ride" Three of us had finished the notorious Sudovia Gravel 2025. We are not afraid of a little of rough weather 😊

The Photo Of The Day Zapiekanka (a.k.a. Polish Casserole) in Corner Bistro, Warka. I'll have a story to tell (later). When Pawel saw the size, he moaned "it's impossible to have it all!" to which the proprietor Karol smiled: "No soft play with us!" 😃

Jeremy, even if a wider tyre would fit, you need to leave a generous clearance for pebbles or any debris.

Ooh-oh! It is just before six ante meridium here. All packed. Riding for 30 km to the start line at Green Nero Caffe Kabaty in South Warsaw. Good I have perfect lighting on my big Vado!

The main difference being the mid-drive motor on the Creo?

I don't think artificial colouring was allowed in the EU. The rebrand is the fact: The main Fritolay plant in Poland (my neighbourhood).

It is the Wolf Tooth Bike Tire Pressure Calculator, Jeremy. Two examples, metric. Vado 6.0 Bike Type: Gravel Weight: 133 kg (26 + 99 + 8) Tire setup: Tubed Casing type: Medium Riding conditions: Medium gravel/Rocks Inflation/Riding Temperature; 18/14 C Tire/Wheel Size: 29" (700c) Measured tire...

The AI graphics for the tomorrow's Apple Ride, by the organiser :) "Chainring & Fire!" (Me with a cigarette in my mouth, haha!)

It happens a gravel road has just been closed for laying asphalt, e.g, two days before the race :) The Last Souvenirs From Great Lakes Gravel 2026 It was just the last several km before the flying finish line. I rode in TURBO and did my best not to be overtaken by anyone but to win several...

It works for me, both in the thumbnail in the post as well as on YouTube. I guess Jeremy might have different settings? Ed, the loose gravel ride was scary! Good that you had adequate tyres on your Creo! Are you sure you want to change them? Also, the downhill ride seemed so fast! (Where I...

The Wind Dynamics doesn't work on my ACE as expected so it's off.

Well, Jeremy, I was happy with Pathfinder Pro when I had my Fearless "equipped". Many gravel cyclist value the 45 mm Pathfinders as these are very fast rolling on asphalt and are quiet. My idea of "de-equipping" my Vado SL 1 was to be able to install the 42 tyres of choice. At that time...

Very good, Jeremy! ----------------------- My friend Alfer is a very special person, full of ideas :) I can remember him using a Wahoo 2 just for the navigation (he used to record his rides with Strava app but he didn't trust Wahoo for the purpose in the past). Now, he uses a Wahoo 3 and usually...
