Stinging nettles, magical forest, and cows, oh my!! Great graveling! Thanks.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@sdmike1141 I'd missed being surrounded by the sound of gravel, it was good ride 😁

[@paul1542]

Nice Ride In The Sunshine 🌞 👍🏻

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes Paul, we've waited a long time for the sun and it felt great 👍

[@mrewers2316]

That looked like a nice route. I was expecting a yeeha in the tunnels though Mike 😊

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@mrewers2316 a Yeehaa would've been brilliant wouldn't it 😁

[@joydwaddell6771]

Nice ride and great to see you out there! Hope Julie is doing ok! 💯🥰

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes, thank you Joy... Julie is healing well and got a sneaky bike ride on at the weekend😁

[@eatrideselfrealiserepeat]

I also find I flat more on gravel tyres, especially if the tread allows/encourages sharp bits of rock to line up in the tread. I’m on virtual slicks at the moment and am very happy.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes, I ran the Panaracer SS 650x47 for a while, worked well until it got wet and slippy 😁

[@micks61]

That's a good turn out - gravel riding is certainly getting more and more popular from what I've seen online and from looking at where and what other riders are riding. It looked a good fun ride as well - technical bits and some faster bits too. Strangely quiet in those two tunnels... like something was missing... 🤔 So good to see Julie back on two wheels the other day, it won't be long before she's back out with the rest of you by the look of it! Good ride!

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@micks61 Hey Mick, you're right, this was the ride before the Purbecks where I referred to missing Julie on the group ride. Being surrounded by the sound of gravel again was good though. Julie's off the blood thinners now so hopefully we can get a few little rides done in the coming weeks 😁

[@DavidChadderton-g7d]

Oh, that’s our Lucy waiting for you at home.

[@frankgerner9822]

Mike it was great to see julie on her first ride after surgery. Looking forward to learning more about how you are making changes in the future you mentioned. Bunkie

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@frankgerner9822One day a quick tour might in order, of course that one day will be when it's finished, if it's finished? There are some bike facilities involved 👍

[@frankgerner9822]

Mike you know the wheelers are my favorite and the best. I am sure you are taking great care of julie. How are you doing? Times like these I consider strategic inflection points in our lives. I am also a care giver to the love of my life.

[@terryb392]

Great ride Mike very well done, enjoy your week

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@terryb392 Thank you Terry 👍

[@johnsampson2544]

That was a very nice ride, Mike. As another commenter below has said, I am so envious of all of the different areas and terrains that you have to ride in the southern UK. I am so ready to relocate. Regarding tire tech, I swear by tubeless and Dynaplug. The slime takes care of the thorns and goatheads, and the plugs take care of things like 4cm wood screws. Take care of yourself, and please give Julie my best (and a hug). I'm sending more positive energy to both of you.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Thank you John, now the sun has made an appearance it's great get out and take advantage of the trails again. Hopefully Julie can do that too very soon 😁 Thanks for your positive encouragement it is appreciated 👍

[@Jaqaroo]

Nice ride Mike! I was half (three quarter...) expecting a yeehaw in those tunnels...😅

[@WheelersAtLarge]

John, as a man of music you will understand that I can't hit the required key 😁

[@JohnRichardson-v2l]

Wow watching your vids makes me very envious of your part of the world, and I'm in east Yorkshire.... 'Ull' east yorkshire.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

John, it's great here but we've not had the pleasure of East Yorkshire yet.😁

[@simonguard5087]

Mike, great film as always, I live very near to the NF and ride a lot of off-road, wat tyres are you running on your gravel bike? Thanks Simon

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@simonguard5087 I correctly have 45mm Pirelli Cintaurato M, they've proved to be a good all-rounder, still got some miles left in them but probably not lasting as long as I'd like, that's the price for being nice and supple and a good roller. They do have to carry more weight than most too but overall I'm pretty pleased and will probably get them again.

[@simonguard5087]

Thanks will give them a try.​@@WheelersAtLarge

[@richardvivian430]

Tubeless all the way 😁👍🏻

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@richardvivian430 Yes, it seems to be a pretty solid system now. Not had total fail in a long time 👍

[@DavidChadderton-g7d]

This is what is known as “green lane riding’ with The Trail Riders Fellowship.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

It was good to hear the crunch of gravel in a group again. Perfect terrain for the Epic 😁 even if the bars are the wrong shape.

[@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte]

looking like u passed him pretty easily at ur age , don't like to waste money either , Thank you sir

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@CreativeFishDesignsCharlottebikes can be a money pit for sure, sometimes I do need to control myself 😁

[@JohnRichardson-v2l]

Was stinging nettles flicking my bell a euphemism...... 'Ull' east yorkshire.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Hey John, happily not 🤣 but I did wonder at the time if I should rephrase that...
