RideStaffs

I'm creating a #gnarmap. It's a digital record of all the non road bits of gravelly fun you can have in staffordshire. I'll keep adding as I find more roads less travelled. Have you got a sector near you? ridestaffs.co.uk/staffordshire-…

A map of #gravel, #gnarmac and green lanes I've come across in my riding in #staffordshire. It's work in progress, but you can watch it grow at ridestaffs.co.uk/staffordshire-…

A little bike ride and a pint to round off the season. Don't call it a #sportive whatever you do. 50 miles 25th September delighted to be doing this one with @lymestonebrewer and @Lymestoneales ridestaffs.co.uk/made-of-stone-…

A great little ad here from Norway that transfers driving habits to a supermarket situation. One seems acceptable to society...

People ask if we’ve been doing events in #staffordshire for a long time. I just tell them I can remember seeing people riding in #Stafford on penny farthings.

Our Canalside ride in April is a good early season leg stretcher. 40miles. The route features early climbs over Cannock Chase then a rolling return via the reservoir at Abbots Bromley. 100 spaces. Selling fast since we went on sale yesterday. ridestaffs.co.uk/event-canalsid…

We did a little bike ride at the end of last season from @canalsidefarm. The route is 40 miles long and you can have a crack any time you like, just download the route from ow.ly/7CyQ50HJkF6 #cycling #staffordshire #bikeride

We're teaming up with @CanalsideFarm Shop and Cafe for a ride on 26th Sept. Pre ride coffee then 40 miles of local lanes. Hope you can join us. ridestaffs.co.uk/canalside-coff…

@carltonkirby - vermentino (known locally as Rolle) is your typical grape variety in Nice.

Good luck tomorrow @GabzCullaigh, if you need some inspiration, take some guidance from the young man in this vid... youtube.com/watch?v=uPkv6C…

@nedboulting I missed this when it was on live, are your dreams available on catch up anywhere?

Hat off to @nedboulting. Have a read. Then Retweet Then repeat. Thanks Ned.

@daisukeyanocx @dean0downing @johnherety @tomsoutham @kristian_house @Brigga14 @darrenlapthorne @battenkill yes! I remember that too. Thanks to you and Shuhei for being our guides on that journey.

@dean0downing @ridestaffs @johnherety @tomsoutham @kristian_house @Brigga14 @darrenlapthorne @battenkill Shot by Shuhei! Izu victory! Enjoyed listening to you two! Paul, the conversation I remember is when you saw a black monarch butterfly, you asked me what kind of bird it is. After telling you, said you’ve never seen a butterfly that big!

Latest chat with @johnherety is up on the youtubes. 2010 & Japan: mentions for @tomsoutham @kristian_house, @dean0downing @Brigga14 @darrenlapthorne @battenkill and I even got a bit creative with the edit and put some photos in so it's not just zoom face youtube.com/watch?v=XHsyyo…
