Whirlwind weekend riding around Kielder Forest for Dirty Reiver 2024. Difficult filming with one thing and another but I hope you enjoy a little snipped of the fun scenes. I will do another video of the bike very soon.
Thanks for coming along for the ride 🫶🏻

Doing the shorter ride was definitely the right thing to do at this stage after the injury, and I bet riding a bike you're happy with, and have confidence in, made the ride more enjoyable too. Heck of a place to ride - fantastic scenery. Well done, great stuff!

Hi Amer, nice talking to you half way up one of the climbs, thanks for the encouragement. Bike damage was a lot less this year (just reindexed gears and cleaned it, last year needed new bb bearings, new rotors and pads. I agree about the calls and hand signals, I don’t know if you have contact with the organisers but it isn’t just racers, most cycle club members know hand signals, calls, looking behind before changing lines or getting out the saddle, but Reiver a;ways seems to have a fair few new people that do not know these things, it would probably be useful to add a section to the riders guide, anyway just a thought, nice vid, I can even see myself in it at one point, infamy, infamy … etc, oh definitely showing my age there 🤣🤣🤣

Great to chat with you for a minute there Adam and yay a little video feature 😀👋🏼 It’s the same on all sportives and events isn’t it but I think with gravel these people often don’t have the bike handling skills to match their aggression. In fact some of the worst incidences I’ve experienced were racing cyclocross amongst the men jostling for 99-100th place 🤦🏼‍♀️ Common courtesy goes a long way doesn’t it!

How was the leg/ ankle during and after the ride, Great to see you out and about, pity about the long drive and the breakdown. Ive not ridden my bike since November after breaking my wrist, waiting for an operation to have a plate removed and a little bit worried about getting back out on the bike
@amerridesbikes
@amerridesbikes 2 ай бұрын
Wrists are really tricky aren’t they. I was speaking with Chris Hall about it as he broke his. Totally normal to feel apprehensive about it but hopefully you’ll find a way back to hearing and confidence ❤️‍🩹 Ankle was ok thanks but the leg is kinda weak from being immobilised. I reckon it’ll come back quick though 🤞🏼

It's a bit odd to see you properly riding a bike again, but I like it. 🙃 But what _isn't_ odd was the pre-ride drama in the lead up to the event.
