Hello Swans!
So this week is a step-up ride! What the hell is that I hear you cry? Well, its a ride at the bottom range of the B ride criteria, so 35 miles at 15mph with a strict no-drop policy, plus oodles of support from me to get you over that hill or some confidence around riding in a group, I've popped in a little gravel section as it is Strade Bianche this weekend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strade_Bianche. Don't be shy. Give it a go; you'll smash it.

Distance: 35Miles
Speed: 15mph
Parcour: a few bumps and gravel section(don't panic, it's our Strade Bianche)
Weather: No rain, light NW winds, but chilly feels 2-3c
Cafe: Forge Cafe https://www.forgecoffee.co.uk/culworth
Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/147881509

Hi Tim, similar question to Stuart. How much gravel and can the road bike go on gravel? Can you help change punctures ? 🤔

I'll be on my road bike with road tyres so it will be fine the surface is compacted. It's a bit of fun nothing too heavy. I'm going to ride it tomorrow to check I'm happy for you guys to ride it.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
