Thomas Time! Late getting out, but I got out.
Kendal Mint Co. NRG Gel was okay, it tasted like a brew after you have just cleaned your teeth.... but I had cleaned my teeth so I will try another very soon... no stomach issues like some gel type products so looking good.

What a fantastic place to ride,you have some lovely places, I'm on the fence with the on one ,always rode mtb,but like the look of these gravel bikes

[@simonthomas-lakedistrictvelo]

Go for it! Someone told me he bought one as it might save his road bike in the winter months but hated the extra weight and fell out of love with the whole cyclocross gravel thing before he really gave it a chance, I love off road and can get there really easily so its a win for me and maybe you too. Thanks for commenting

Vile things those gels! Get yourself some baby food pouches...

[@simonthomas-lakedistrictvelo]

Never tried the pouches but if your not a fan of the gels watch Episode 113 that's out at 8pm today there's an alternative to gels and they taste great Thanks for the comment 👍

Bravo, great bikes, great value 👍

[@reddboone122989]

what tires do you use for the rain?

[@simonthomas-lakedistrictvelo]

Currently using Rutland Teravail on the gravel bike 40mm 👍

[@reddboone122989]

@@simonthomas-lakedistrictvelo thanks for the response good sir. It rains almost every day where I live so I've been looking for tires that are still fast but aren't very slippery. I currently have the botranger wire 38s that came stock with my bike and riding on the wet scares me sometimes. I just checked and the Rutlands aren't available in my country. Do you have any other suggestions? I ride 85% poorly made concrete roads and 15% gravel.

[@simonthomas-lakedistrictvelo]

Yes there is currently a short supply of Rutlands Bike Radar here in the UK did a review on a good selection of tyres, worth a google 👍
