2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

I'd say 30 mi is a pretty respectable ride. Most of mine are under 25, and many are under 20.

At this totally undisciplined stage of my cycling career, I generally make the decision to keep going or turn home one crossroad at a time.
Thanks Jeremy!

I'm recently semi-retired and 65 years old. I've been riding 3 times a week for the last 6 months or so and prefer single track over double track or fire roads but I do some of that too. I started with a Spesh Tero X5 about a years and a half ago which I de-fendered. It's a pretty capable bike but I wanted something a bit more capable, so I picked up a'26 Levo Comp Alloy Gen4 and did a bit of upgrading to start. I put an electronic GX Transmission on it and a Fox 38 Factoty Grip X2 fork. Upgraded the rotors to H2S's with MTX Red Race pads and lastly some Schwalbe Magic Mary Radials. I'm loving the new bike! It's nice having a "real" mountain bike 😁

Stefan will be in dismay, but after consideration I decided on a dirt cheap cassette for the Haibike, I realised that I will be using it
on the beach through the winter and it will get destroyed at rate well above the difference in quality could compensate for.
So I present the Lanxuanr 11-42T Shimano copy superlight, 29 quid to my front door, testing it today.
