    Normally ride on my own but was great having her along with me. I don't think I'm a particularly strong cyclist because I've only been at it for a couple of years but I can hold my own. I dropped from 205 to 167 pounds and didn't lose strength so just go until I'm tired, get a coffee then go...

    Never ridden a gravel bike before but absolutely loved it. Drivers were brilliant to be fair. Cycle paths were better than the roads in the UK. I wanted to go further but partner was worried her battery wouldn't last on the ebike. Very quiet roads in general, bet it's chaotic in the Summer though

    Lake Garda is lovely. Italy super nice in general.

    I'm heading to Italy this weekend and hiring a bike to ride around some of Lake Garda. Really looking forward to it. Will try to get some photos

    I splice way more used rope than new. New rope feels like you've missed steps out it's that easy in comparison 🤣

    I use a piano wire fid mate. New rope is super easy but this one was a bit tougher as the cores weren't sitting completely parallel. Push the fid up the outside with a bit of slack in the cover and it's fine
