On this cycle ride, I traveled from Exeter towards Sidmouth via some very boggy back lanes and bridleways. This really put my Specialized Pathfinder Pro tyres to the test. My observations are the subject of this ride. So come along and enjoy another great cycling adventure.

    1. What a nerve wracking video going through the mud! The extent of gravel riding for me is hard pack. I'm a roadie at heart!

      Looks like someone had some deep cleaning to do. Another great video. Thanks for the ride.

    2. Hardcore mate. Well done. Those are some rough trails. I managed a half-decent ride today up the coast but there was a strong headwind against me all the way, nice tailwind on the way back though. Too much rain this winter, it's been horrible for us cyclists. Please can we have our spring now? I think we deserve it. PS I hope you are recovered from your bout of ill health.

    3. Nice muddy ride mate. Pretty much MTB needed there 🙂. My pathfinders are pretty worn out now after 2 years on my Creo so thought I'd try some 42 mm sawtooths this time.
