Great stuff mate. What would you say is your top 3 for beginners and top 3 for more advanced riders on a mtb hardtail.👍
Excellent selection 👍 it'd be interesting to know what tyres you're using and how they've performed.
Perfect timing for this video as I’ve just ordered my first gravel bike after only having full sus 29er for the last couple years
Thanks Josh, we are newly retired bike packers and absolutely love your videos. Such helpful content. Enjoying our Sonder Frontier 29ers for mtb and longer trips. Think we’ll go for a flat bar Camino later this year because our flat bar road bikes are wearing out. Our first trip was a few days mainly off road in Norfolk, Peddars way which was definitely suitable for gravel. Have a great weekend.
I struggle with knowing what tyres to use / pick for a ride. I have two options on differing wheels.
32mm
45mm
Guessing something like the Canti or New Forest would be fine on the 32mm but others would need to be 45mm.
So gravel bikes are pretty limited really – just flat routes in the south of England?
That’s a good list I did the West Country way as my first gravel bike adventure and found all the descents even loaded quite easy but then I am coming from a mountain biking background. Your 370 looks like a great route does it still go well in winter. Thanks Steve
Thanks for another fine video
Very interesting and great ideas for routes I didn't know about. Thanks
Morning to you, found this channel looking into a gravel bikes. At the minute I’m riding a hybrid, but miss my road bike. I ride with my daughter and some of these trails would be good for me and her too do some serious routes. Where can see these routes so I can take look and plan them, thanks for the video.
For once honest comment about "UK Gravel" whilst most YouTubers are posting videos showing them riding along footpaths more suited to walking!
Josh, Hi there!!
I am writting you from.basque country.
Planning to bike the caledonian way, but starting and ending on Edinburgh.
Can you help me getting UK Maps for muy Garmin? Thanks a lot and thanks for allí your videos. Big hug, Ivica
Thanks very much for this. Been looking for off road routes suitable for beginners and my 83 year old pops!
Thanks! great video
