  Despite the main stretches of road it always felt like we/I hit them at the right time - at their quietest - and on mostly wide open roads. It always felt like I was making good progress and distance as a result. The return from Corby Glen I enjoyed a lot too as I didn't know where I was going and again nice roads!

  Hey great thanks glad you enjoyed it. The camera is the DJI Action 4, it's just one of those foam wind covers, they do wonders for reducing wind noise.

  I rode the Rebellion Way in June, staying at campsites. Lovely route, but it was a bit muddier and a lot more puddles than when you did it 😂 Only bit I didn't like was the bit through the National land outside Wells. Steep climb on single track through a muddy wood. Not my thing. Thanks for sharing the video. Really enjoyed it.

  That doesn't ring a bell. Was that through Holkham itself? I don't recall any mud, steep or off road stuff around those parts.

  What to do when you have pain in your wrist while wriding? I have a flat bar and my wrists are hurting at +10km. The saddle is in good place, good height. I don't know :(

• 
  @BikepackingAdventures4 күн бұрын

  For me on flat bars I tend to get numbness rather than actual pain. I have recently bought inner bar ends from Sq Labs. Still in the box atm so can't say whether or not they have helped, but have a look at a few videos. It'll give you another position on the bike that might help. Apart from that maybe you need to adjust the angle of your brake levers? Just a thought.

  How are you finding the bike Richard? I am facing a first world dilemma where I could get an epic to replace my procaliber. But l'm not 100% sure as I do love my trek. A little extra comfort, especially downhill would be good. At the same time I don't want to sacrifice the speed of the trek on the road/flats.

  What size tyres do you have on that bike?

• 
  @paule416 күн бұрын

  Richard - if you've got the 46/30 Absolute Black (which is the lowest - their other subcompact is 48/32), that's quite a drop from the standard 50/34 Ultegra. So, did you have any problems lowering the front mech sufficiently and setting it up ok? And do you get reliable shifting at the front? Cheers.

  Great video Richard and that route is now on my list. Regarding your rain jacket in the bottom of the bag, I bet like me you forget there is a zip in the side of the Tailfin to get in quickly to the bottom 🤣 Quick question regarding parking up and leaving your van for three days, do you not worry about it at all?

•

  I always forget about the zip pocket Paul yes, however I also stuck inside the dry bag lol As for the van, initially yes, but once I start moving I forget about it quickly.

  I use RideWithGPS paired with Garmin 540 solar. Sometimes I'll create places of interest along the route and use voice navigation as a backup. This time I just downloaded the route from cycling uk and went.

  If there's a hint of rain the tent would be coming along with me! Wild camping in the rain = sleeping in a bus shelter which isn't so luxurious assuming you find one when the heavens open!

  UK "gravel" eh! I wonder though, do you think there is anywhere else in the world where you an ride thousand year old 'traditional' rights of way, long defunct drovers roads and byways, old canal towpaths, recently abandoned rail routes, and just occasionally that real 'true' hero gravel? Heck, even our roads offer a certain 'off' road feel! Lucky us! 🙃

  At some point before I went to the Canaries in April the top of the outer casing began to loosen - visually it looked fine but heard shaking. So whilst I was over there I used a zip tie to hold it firm. It never rained there - as soon as I got back to the UK and got caught out by the rain - some water had seeped through.
