First proper #gravel ride of 2026, seen here on the path in #ReddishVale. This starts as mud, then gravel, over field run-off drains, then bricks and stones before mud and dirt and then a few cobbles. Great fun. Always great to be back on the #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi . #cycling #GravelRide #VeganCyclist #OutsideIsFree #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Bicycle

A stroll from Brinnington to Denton through Reddish Vale Country Park.

Another dinner time ride, another 30 minutes of fun on the gravel bike. It was nice to head down to Reddish Vale, take in the River Tame meandering through the viaduct, before the bone-shaking drag back to Denton. Quality.
