Just got a Roscoe 8 myself, well kinda. Originally bought a M/L but exchanged it for a M, waiting on it to come in. Ha

Mate, that part at 11:55 😂😂

I'm looking for something that good for pavement & some dirt trails all my searches point to hybrid

That TT bike looks like Batman should be riding it!

Congrats, guys, I'm glad that you managed to raise more money than you'd initially planned. I'm sure Mr Barry is proud of all four of you. Good luck with whatever you're doing and looking forward to the final trip!

❤

Enjoy it. I love mine

The verdict on the new bike: I LOVE IT!!

It’s fair to say that we are skilled in our own ways, but not all of us are skilled on bikes. Thanks for watching 😊

No flaps 😂

What a beautiful area👍🏻

Well… that was… educational. Every day is a school day.

Green lanes represent a fascinating blend of history, nature, and rural tradition, maintaining a connection to the landscape's ancient past while continuing to serve modern recreational and ecological purposes. Here's 5 facts about green lanes: 1. Green Lanes as Boundary Markers: Many green lanes have historically served as important boundary markers. They often delineated parish boundaries and manorial limits. The existence of these lanes as borders is sometimes recorded in ancient documents, providing valuable insights into historical land ownership and territorial disputes. 2. Ancient Monuments and Sites: Along many green lanes, one can find ancient monuments, such as standing stones, burial mounds, and other archaeological sites. These features suggest that green lanes were not just routes of travel but also had cultural and spiritual significance, connecting various prehistoric and historic landmarks. 3. 'Hollow Ways' Phenomenon: Some green lanes have evolved into what are known as 'hollow ways' or 'sunken lanes'. These are paths that have been worn down over centuries, sometimes several meters below the level of the surrounding land. This erosion is caused by the repeated passage of feet, hooves, and wheels, as well as water runoff. The steep, banked sides of hollow ways can create unique microclimates and ecosystems. 4. Literary and Folklore Connections: Green lanes often appear in British folklore and literature. They are sometimes depicted as mysterious or enchanted places, reflecting their deep connection to the landscape and rural life. In literature, they can symbolise a journey, both physical and metaphorical, and have been featured in the works of authors such as Thomas Hardy and William Wordsworth. Folklore often imbues these lanes with stories of ghosts, fairies, and other supernatural occurrences. 5. Legal Protections and Modern Use: In the modern era, green lanes enjoy various degrees of legal protection. Some are designated as public rights of way, bridleways, or byways open to all traffic (BOATs). These legal designations help preserve the lanes and maintain their accessibility for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. There is ongoing debate and management to balance the interests of different user groups and to prevent damage from motorised vehicles, which can threaten the historical and ecological integrity of these paths.

Totally gonna be a hero and smash it on day one…

Hey Matt! Sorry to hear you've had such a "fun" ride, but glad you've made it back home eventually... maybe your current bike needs to retire? 🙂Anyway, wishing you and the rest of the guys the best of luck in achieving your goal this summer!

Maybe it’s the bottom bracket?

Out on the bike for sure. #properjob
