Yes that was a real shame. It would have been interesting to see who would have been on the top step without that flat tyre, although listening to Evie post-race she sounded as though she had something left in the tank just in case :-O

And as for the women’s DH, that was an emotional roller coaster for sure. Bruni’s run was a thing of beauty. That looked such a brutal track to try to get a smooth line on

Harumph! Gondola not running due to gusting wind. Local play on the ‘puffer route instead.

I’ve just finished the Gorrick Cool MTB challenge. I never learn… I was all Yorkshire tight and decided to not top up the tyre sealant before making the journey, so ended up losing about half an hour faffing with a tyre with a small hole that didn’t want to seal.

I may blog…

Cath, Dutch tightness has been known to cause similar faffage! In stead of winning Battle on the Beach, I cam 4th after a 20 minute faff... It did result in an epic photo mind... Of me, upside down bike, peloton in the background lapping me 🙄

Rode the coffin road between Kenmore and Applecross today. Absolutely stunning!

Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
