            Would you say a Misty Mountain Hop, given Brock’s attire?

            Think it, be it.

              Fantastic ride and superb scenery! Love the second pic with the weirdest geological formations on the hillside…👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

              The journey is the objective.

                      I have a Moots Baxter which is more drop bar mountain bike as it can take 2.3 tyres.  I am running mine with crossmax mountain bike wheels.  Using a hybrid Di2 system with Grx levers paired with an XT mtb rear mech.  Works nicely and can be configured via the Shimano software, I am running mine with upshifts on both left hand levers and downshifts on the right hand levers.

                      There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                              I did my first ever gravel ride yesterday. Resolved about 5 miles in that I needed a real gravel bike! Thinking about doing a custom build on a Crust Evasion. Anyway, some shots:

                                  I've got a Crust Evasion in the works from a semi-local shop. Meanwhile I'm already accessorizing with a new bag from Ronnie Romance:

                                      @Brock This rig is dialed! Ronnie Romance would approve. How do you find the Fabio's Chest? Bounce factor negligible with that front rack? I have always had my eye on one.

                                          @dsco thank you. It’s even more dialed now days I think…

                                          The Fabio’s chest is definitely the IH of the bike bag world. And with a rack for support is solid. However when fully loaded and riding on the rough stuff I do worry about my carbon fork! 😬

                                          Here’s a couple recent pics of my smeltzer

                                            Some really nice bikes! Here’s my Richard Sachs cross bike used as my gravel grinder.
