Normally i ride a fixed wheel on road in winter, but today was a test ride on my tourer after fitting some swanky #veloorange mudguards/fenders and some fat #continetal grand prix 5000 in 32mm flavour. All good apart from a tiny mudguard rattle which was easily fixed. I've wanted to do this for ages, but I had to use up my massive supply of part worn 25s first. As expected the 32s are a much nicer ride.

I love this trail. It's technical enough to be interesting but always rideable and you can't fault the scenery. In a few weeks time it'll be as green as this pic taken last year. https://stantoninnoblevelo.com/cycling-vacations/gravel-in-the-gorge-april-2022/

Look what appeared in my fb feed today. There are very few pics of me racing, and even fewer of me in road races because i mostly rode the track. Ok so the photo is really of the guy on my wheel and my head has been cut off, but i was still pleased to see it. The bike is a 531Pro Brian Rourke with a Super Record groupset, and Im riding in the blue/red colours of the long defunct Concorde RCC.

For #switchbacksaturday here's Rob not quite making one of 6 or 7 hairpins on the way out of the village. It's a bit unfair to show this one, he rode around loads of others easily...

This ruined water mill is a long way from the nearest road and is like the land that time forgot. Easy to get to on a gravel bike though 😎

For #throwbackthursday here's a shot from my 2009 ride in Kyrgyzstan. Something I always like in ex Soviet countries are the random public monuments you encounter on the road. Sometimes the purpose is obvious, it might be the most extravagant bus stop you've ever seen, a statue or maybe a sign. But sometimes it's completely impenetrable, at least to me, like this huge arch randomly placed on a road in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it does have some significance really, but to me, a foreign bike tourist rolling through, it was like a mad apparition in the wilderness.

These processionary caterpillars are an amazing sight, moving in a long line across this gravel track. They are very poisonous though, touch them and you'll know about it - dogs have been known to die after trying to eat them.

Rights of way can be difficult to figure out in France, and this trail is especially ambiguous. I always try to talk to whoever owns the land, but I've never seen a soul in the hamlet just out of shot, but today my luck was in and I met the farmer who was super friendly and explained how it works on his patch. I don't worry too much for myself but I'll be taking customers this way in a couple of weeks so it's good to be sure.

Down the gorge road this morning. In theory this is the main road but there's a shortcut over the hill on a very dull, straight road, so cyclists mostly have the gorge to themselves 😍

I've often seen pics of these insane bikes being used to pace track riders before motorbikes took over. I've sometimes wondered if any survived, and it turns out this one, made in my home town in around 1900 is very much alive and kicking. It uses very weird chains which I've never seen before which are different to the old inch pitch I just about remember a few old guys riding.

It's international women's day, so here's a picture of Beryl Burton. I hardly know where to start with her achievements. I reckon that she's the greatest female cyclist ever, but it goes way beyond that. Is she the greatest woman ever in any sport? I think so. She even has a strong case for being the best person, regardless of gender to participate in any sport at all. And she did this at a time when women were even less accepted in cycling than they are now, and when little support was available. Burton was an amateur throughout her long career and worked on a farm. Truly inspirational.

If you saw us on TV last week, you'll know we've branched out into foraging. This is the workshop they filmed - a really fun day which we'll be repeating regularly in spring and autumn when the wild plants are at their best. People are starting to realise we do both cycling and foodie stuff and doing both while they're here. More detail of the food over at @veganholidaysfrance

For #throwbackthursday here I am on a very chilly 5080m pass in Tibet. I think it might be the Mayam La, but my memory is hazy.

We're off to the UK for a couple of weeks tomorrow which means no cycling for me 😭 So today I rode myself to destruction by struggling up all the steepest hills I know on my old steel fixie. This was taken just before the first big climb on the suspension bridge in Feneyrols with the chateau just visible behind.

Now I live in a place where the trails are dry most of the time, I've lost my tolerance for mud. I have some mud tyres but haven't used them once. Now spring is here and it's warming up, the mud has gone and I'm back on the gravel 😎
