Yep, sure thing, try this: www.strava.com/activities/7484369289 but be warned, it was generally a nice route, I'd do it again, but the bit coming through Chelmsford (I think) was quite rubbish, I got lost trying to follow bike paths so just ignore anything like that. Thanks for the comment, let me know if you ride the route!
Hi - I’ve nearly gone through all your back collection! Are you doing any new videos soon!? 😋 Could you let me know what tubeless tyres you use please? I usually have Conti GP5000 but they cut up a lot. And your light is very good
Hi again Neil, sorry I’ve only just got to your comment, thanks for leaving it. Yes to more vids with lots of plans for the new year, as long as life and work don’t get in the way! Tyres: sure. I was on Schwalbe Pro Ones but went off them, too many punctures like you say. Currently Hutchinson, and tbh im not sure if the number of holes is any better or I’ve been slightly luckier. I think holes in the sidewall are just a hazard with tubeless that you have to accept or switch back to tubes (which I may still do). I’ve had all my recent tyres in 30mm width which I quite like for long distance (more cushioning!!!) and the choice is a bit more limited in that size.
Ps I couldn’t remember when we left the reply just now which type of Hutchinson’s I’ve got, so just checked, they’re the Fusion Performance version. But I’ve been finding them increasingly difficult to get hold of spares recently, maybe they’re phasing them out? So probably have the move to yet another tyre in near future. What have you tried besides the Contis??
Thanks LC. I’ll check them out. I used Schwalbe Pro Ones also and gave up after going through 5 of them. I have Conti’s on one bike and Vitorria Corsa on the other. As yet untested. They cost a fortune, so they’d better be amazing - the shop said they were more puncture resistant than the Schwalbe
nice. do you have a gpx of the route back from lowestoft?

All in 28mm
Seems a shame that you didn’t stay for longer!
