Such a great route - we'll need to head out of london for our gravel ride soon! 💪

I just watched Jake's video of a gravel ride around the Norfolk coast. I mean, the idea of a gravel bike for long tours seems ideal. Do you think you were taking it easy over those roots because of the carbon frame? The guy behind seems to have a steel frame or something tougher than carbon. It definitely has its benefits. Get that bike over to Wimbledon Common. Maybe you won't get lost. I know I did the first time.

So crazy, this looks tame to me. More danger riding on the road to be honest 😅 The great thing about a small forest is just keep going straight and eventually you'll find a path or road.

Loved this video. So good to see more people discovering the benefits of riding in nature. Will hopefully see you on the gravel route around Richmond Park soon.

Hehe guess I was right 😅😅😅

Nice you reached 2k subs. Let’s go for 10k subs haha

Don't worry too much about the route and just enjoy exploring, you can always find your way back if you have your phone. Focus more on riding and choosing the right lines when navigating roots and technical sections, you won't get good if you walk those sections.

40psi is way too high, the lower the better for gravel (if you are tubeless)

BROOOOO less walking more riding :D I know you feel worried doing this alone but this wasn't that dangerous comon :D besides it is not gravel without a fall or two and some reckless riding :D

Watch those tree routes..well dangerous.

Fun video!! Epping Forest looks like an amazing ride. Ride safe! Oh and that log needed to be moved 😂

Dude. That log was put there on purpose to spite a cyclist, why didn't you try and move for the next cyclist to enjoy the free run of that stretch.?

Just went to Epping this weekend (haha I turned left where you said no way and you made the right choice, so many fallen trees there), inspired by you! How are you filming this? What mount are you using?

Stop talking with the camera in your mouth. Sounds disgusting

Brilliant video ❤

Louis here bro, love it

He felt like a disney princess 😆

Havent been out this year much. Too much on my pkate. But 2025 im going to be riding everywhere. And get a few 1 or 2 night bikepacking rides done.

Great video. If you want to meet up for gravel rides in Epping let me know as I've been meaning to go there for ages!

Always loved your city night rides. But this change of scenery is majestic.

Gravel USA v Gravel UK is a big difference. In UK it's like you're always in mud mate 🤣 Better of getting a Mountain Bike imo

Yep...bike is heavier less aero too

Watching your reactions taking yourself out of urban riding I feel like you'll love MTB more 😂 sooner or later you will start saying send it or shredding some gnarly trails. 😅 Guess I will see you on the trails one day mate! 🚵‍♀️🇬🇧

Welcome to gravel biking man, watch out not to get lost in the forest because I did this before multiple times you just get lost in the beauty around you 😅

My man sees a park for the first time in his life. Bless his soul.

I lived in Epping for 10 years , used to go running in the forest regular, some fantastic trails available and hills lol , great vid.

Great genuine video. Gravel is the perfect type of ride, in my opinion, gets you away from traffic and next to nature. You can choose whether to ride on or off the road. Tip, when planning on commute, select gravel riding on the type of ride, it will put you off the main roads more often and you will discovery new trails. Don't forget to adventure, if you think a path looks fun, chase it and see where it goes. There is nothing wrong with getting lost. Have fun

Unfortunately a strip (one mile across) of trees is already called a forest in UK :((((

Great looking bike Avo and I'm sure you will enjoy doing some trails on it. You can always try an outside loop of Richmond Park on the Trek. I've noticed more gravel bikes on it lately. I'm still not converted to gravel bikes yet, as I have a MTB for off road. Plus my GIANTS for roadie stuff. Don't forget to add another Fun point for the counter, as travelling on the Underground with a wedgie definitely qualifies.😅😅

Great content and gravel does look a lot of fun.

Welcome to dark side 😁🚴🏻‍♂️🤘🏻

Fantastic vegan gravel to try out

Hi there, where did you get the gloves from, what make are they? Thanks

Oh man, making it hard for me to NOT think about a gravel bike. Glad you had a blast in it and killer route too. 👍

Pretty over the top, but…. I watched your video almost beginning to end as I drove to my gym that’s 25min away from home… and I gotta say, you really got me in the mood to do something epic on my xc mtb. Thanks man

Loving your videos my guy! There’s such a unique and enjoyable vibe to them. Keep up the great work.

Colours look amazing Ranier. Have you had a go on the gravel lap of Richmond Park yet? It’s quite smooth gravel but the gradients are sharper than the road loop.

be careful from grizzlys

Looks super cool..🙏🏿

Epping forest Literally where my parents live! So many cyclists around here

See you heading from West usually, gravel link up soon ?

Nice to see you again mate! :))

MTB next 👀

Lovely looking bike, get it down to the new forest for the full gravel bliss experience!

Whats your plan for the winter with outdoor cycling?

Deffo tubeless

We've lost you to the dark side. I almost went for a gravel, after a 3rd puncture in 4 weeks. And the state of the roads along one stretch, camberwell to peckham. I heard Jake say you can only ride them up hill, as the forces are just too strong coming down. "Honest" Very nice bike, but a whole different ball game to the roadies. Enjoy.

Got the gen 2 checkpoint, you’ll love this one! Let’s go hit up some Surrey gravel!

I have a checkpoint with 45mm Pirelli cinturato M tyres. A brilliant off road flyer ❤

my bike is gavel as well, it is incredible, whenever you will find a gravel road you will just love to jump on it immediately unlike on a road bike, you feel the difference for sure. Enjoy, waiting for your first gravel adventure.
