Sunny evening Gravel bike ride in the Forest of Dean: Ribble CGR AL-E

It's been a beautiful Weekend and perfect for a nice ride. We ended up doing a pretty gruelling 33 miles with almost 3000ft of climbing on pretty much all gravel and single track this wonderful Saturday Evening in the Forest of Dean.
The CGR AL-E made things a lot easier, but my legs were still burning on the rocky hill climbs!

Ribble looks like its eating up the gravel. 😎

It was eating gravel like I was eating flies 😆

You have to remind your other half that when you're not using the motor, you have additional weight to carry and that gives a good workout. I have the CGR too, great versatile bike, on my longest ride didnt switch the motor on until 86km (because I'm old and forgot).

Yeah, she knows really, just likes having a little dig at me 🤣 she's looking at getting one too, so then she hasn't a leg to stand on. On the flat I tend to turn it off, as im riding faster than the motor and give anyway, just the hills I need it sometimes. Or if I'm feeling particularly lazy!
