Makes multiple videos about being "winter ready" and using mudguards etc.... Rides over 40 miles in the mud and wet with no mudguards.... :D

@steveb8269 4 года назад

I dont understand the 'no mudguards' option either, on a long winter ride you need to limit the mud and water getting into eyes and those other sensitive places. Also good luck getting in a pub or cafe plastered in mud lol

@doomweaver2007 4 года назад

tobye hillier I was going to ask the same question why no mudguards they offer off a stone protection at least for the front mudguard and stops the face splash mud .

@tobyehillier 4 года назад

@@doomweaver2007 I don't think they planned it to be that muddy in fairness, but there's still a lot of kak to get in the face on those kinds of ride 🤮

@Franksey180 4 года назад

I was going to say similar.. I know the bikes look way way cooler with no mud guards, but I'd accept the geek/nerd mud guard look and stay cleaner / more comfortable on a longer winter ride like this.

@stuartrose902 4 года назад

Back in the mid '90s when I was living in London me and a flatmate took the train to Bath on Easter Friday, and spent the long weekend cycling back to London. We followed the Kennett and Avon canal to Reading then the Thames to London, averaging 30 miles a day, and lunching and staying in pubs along the canal route. Almost as muddy as this trip. A fabulous weekend I'll never forget.

@dirkjordy9point714 4 года назад

Fair play, I live local to the Ridgeway in Didcot and ride it a lot.... But stay off it this time of year, it's a total windy slogfest. It's great in the summer though, not technical but fast and you get a sense of wilderness which is rare is South of England. If your coming down this way try the Chiltern beech woods north of Reading/ Henley. They are natural single-track awesome!!👍

@Roaming50 4 года назад

When I used to live in England I used the Ridgeway all the time as a connector to more interesting trails. I did ride the entire thing once when I cycle from Bucks to Cornwall. However sections on it can be a major mud fest. 😀 PS. I can’t believe I just watched a video on The Ridgeway.

@mnicholls33 4 года назад

Great ride guys. Just to let you know the tap is switched off in the winter months but open the rest of the time. I’ve just it several times when it’s been roasting on the ridgeway in the summer months
