As the daylight hours are getting longer and the weather is getting a tad better I thought it was time to add another route to the collection. Introducing the Superfondo – the sweet spot distance wise between a regular Fondo and a Century.
This gravel friendly route starts and finishes at Chesterfield Station and is a mash up of our popular GravelFondo route and personal fave – Duke it Out route with a few extra bits on the side. Roughly three quarters of the route is off road – a mix of former railways, bridleways and a blue MTB route thrown in for good measure. It’s a lot less lumpy than some of our Peak District adventures and I recce’d it on my single speed gravel bike.
Fresh Goods
As things are picking up after the winter months I’m starting to re-stock our inventory. I’ve had a re-stock from Voilé of their ever so popular straps. Below’s a little video about how they came about.
I’ve also started carrying a selection of Litepro chainring bolts. A great way to give your bike a little bit of individuality. Available in sets of five in a selection of colours with a choice of single or double chainring sizing.
After a little bit of a hiatus I’ve decided to start carrying PNW Components again. They offer a great range of accessories for mountain and gravel bikes at a reasonable price. I’m ‘testing the water’ at the moment with a selection of their grips and bar tape and hopefully will expand my offering once they gain traction.
And finally
A huge thanks to everyone that entered our Stoops and Stones virtual non-event. You should have received a copy of the routes and hopefully your patches will be on the way to you at the back end of next month. If you a little late to the party, don’t worry as we have ordered a few extra patches and you can still join in here.
