That is a random number for the limit of sliders, was there an incident with 18 sliders one day?

17 is the trail number. You are permitted to link 3 tubes together on it

25km blast in the New Forest. All tracks but it was wet and very cold.

Autumn is definitely here -- planned to do a road/gravel loop before work this morning but the temp was unattractively low (around 7C) so waited a while before setting out, duly layered up.

There was a lot of low-lying mist still baking off which made for some picturesque vistas. 20 of the 30k were on tarmac, with a nice undulating dirt road section at about halfway. Slogged back into a chilly breeze -- a good hot shower was very welcome after that.

Another training ride in the New Forest this morning. New front yet to test. Only on gravel cycle tracks with ruts and loose gravel but the tyre are that up! Always time for a stop and a piece of fruit cake.

Mud was sticky like putty today, incredible

My take on a gravel bike, a Giant Escape that I paid £150 for with drop levers and top mounted cyclo cross type levers and front suspension forks with lockout....works for me although on this ride I had the wrong tyres, I generally use 700x38C square section
For me advantages over a trendy new gravel bike, I use 3x7 transmission which is great and really cheap to replace (like £25 for chain and cassette) Has proper fixing points for carriers and mudguards so at least I have the option, I have lockout front suspension which for me is a must, lock out on the road, suspension off road and best of all it cost a total of about £300

Another New Forest training ride. Extended the loop to the north of the A31 to add some nice climbs and descents. 34km and some welcome sunshine.
