Riding from Brembate towards Lecco. Gets real cool around 6:00 in my opinion.

@Sleepless

Wouldn't pick anything else for that trail, so stable but laser sharp steering. Exploro is purely limited by your handling skills :) Was riding 40mm 700c WTB Nano's in that video but I normally prefer 650b 47mm WTB Horizon or 2.1in Nano. It's extremely snappy and responsive but still very comfortable. I was riding the LTD demo bike which comes in at 16lb. I'm getting one custom painted for myself which I'll use with 650b for training/group rides/whatever and then I'll have my road bike just for racing.

Here's a picture later on in the ride

Off the front by a minute. B grade, North south course with a massive easterly blowing helped the cause haha.

What's not to like about fall/winther riding?

Yesterday riding towards the sunset like a famous lonesome cowboy. The picture is taken in Store Dyrehave in Denmark.

I took myself off for a solo overnight adventure this weekend...

Day 1 was basically 8 miserable hours of constant rain...

Hopefully this isn't too many pictures.

Day 2 was much improved weather wise and made for a good return trip back to the town of Stratford where I'd left my car....
