First fire road climb on the route |
and this was the biggest climb - out of the forest |
Forest boundary - on to the moor side now |
steady away down the rocky descent |
Nearly at the top of the last off road climb |
On to the road for a couple hundred of yards |
Before turning back off again |
Last leg before hitting the tarmac to Egglestone |
I did not do the off road route around the top of Hill Top - fat bike required for the water logged heather |
5 miles on country back lane and back at |
Village, time to get warmed up again |
Hi, enjoyed reading your post! I'm currently looking at getting the Cannondale Slate, specifically the Apex model. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the bike. I'm looking to use it as a road/gravel/leisure bike. Have you taken it on any singletrack?
ReplyDeleteThey are great value for money now at under £1k, there is more comfort if you run a wider tyre up front at a lower pressure. It is ideal for gravel/leisure. As for the road if its a 100% tarmac then the standard tyres will be ok. If going off road then swap to Knard etc. Singletrack is not too bad if its not too rocky / roots.
