Zippy

Riding a Specialized Creo 2 gravel light assist e-bike. Komoot for route planning, linked to Wahoo Roam 3 , Tickr heart monitor, cadence sensor on my right shoe and speed sensor on front wheel. Using Garmin RCT715 rear radar and camera.
Upgraded from Wahoo Bolt V2 since my aging eyes had difficulty reading small text font on Bolt. However, still having difficulty with larger screen on Roam 3, particularly navigation directions small white text on pale blue background.
Changed to tubeless in Jan 2025 after many punctures. My rides are mainly 50/50 gravel/road and country lanes with Hawthorn hedges. Farmers and local councils cut back hedges in autumn and spring with larger shredders that scatter Hawthorn stalks with thorns. Even tubeless (Muc off) eventually fails, rear tyre had 9 thorns, needed reinflating on a ride. So, had to patch tyre from inside with mushrooms and standard inner tube patches renewed sealant.

Southwell, Halloughton and Oxton

Oxton and Beanford fords. Didn't ride through Beanford although shallow could be slippy! Nice round trip explored Halloughton Woods, about 20m deep ruts and mud, later very bumpy surface but a worthwhile ride. Stopped at Voltz in Blidworth for a coffee and browse at bikes.

Fledborough and Trent Vale

First time on Trent Vale. Nice villages on this route, very few cars on the country lanes. Some new gravel paths, still needs to bed in a bit. Hardcore on lane passing Girton Sailing Club. Coffee shop at the side of Coop supermarket in Collingham.
