  • How do you do the Stone Circle 155km Gravel event when you dont have a gravel bike? Well... i borrowed one from my brother, who knows nothing about gravel bikes. This was a fun one because i was determined to do this event but i had no idea how i was going to manage that without a gravel bike. My brother bought a bike online for cheap and its been sat in his garage for a year- so i went round and grabbed it then rode it 155km around the Stone Circle event. Great day out and thanks to all involved.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the content; I've been enjoying your recent videos a lot! Watching this inspired me to open up Komoot and start looking at the trails around Wiltshire 💪

      Appreciate it. Just been enjoying it and making the most of summer… or what we are having of it

    I enjoy how you honestly capture the highs and lows of these kind of cycling events. My two gravel sportives have been great apart from the crashes in the rutted grass tracks, still not sure how to deal with them. A tutorial video would be good!

    Great to meet you at the King Alfred's tower, Max. I was the random stranger arguing over Unbound editing times. I will add that I was wrong.. highlights were 3 days after.. not 2. I also blew up massively after seeing you! Was a long sufferfest back home. Great riding mate.

      Hey man- that was one of the first things I checked when I got home!!! Insane editing turn around for an hour long piece from those guys.
      Great to meet you, was hoping you guys would drag me all the way back, hope it ended well for you

      Was fine thanks and recovered ok in the last 20k. Think it was mostly the heat. Will definitely be back next year.

    I’d definitely put plugs in the bars, otherwise could act like an apple corer, not what you’d want on your quads (or balls)! Enjoying the video!

      There’s a rather harrowing video out there of that happening. The open bar end cut the guy’s femoral artery. Never ride without bar ends!

    Did you change the saddle?

    • @thewattlife
      @thewattlife  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nope- kept it the same. Was fine for me but can see the benefit of upgrading the saddle- it was one of the weaker areas
