Ride 100k on the Ridgeway in a day!
The Ridgeway is Europe’s oldest continually used highway – dating back thousands of years, this was a prehistorically important route, with many ancient landmarks along it’s length, and ending at the magnificent stone circles of Avebury (which predates Stonehenge by some 700 years!)
Today, the Ridgeway remains a popular recreational route, and a fantastic long distance MTB trail! Faster paced and less extreme than the South Downs Way, the Ridgeway never the less gives you plenty to get your teeth into. The route keeps you high up and offers continuous sweeping views, with just enough dips and diversions along the ridge to keep your climbing / descending muscles ticking over! The surface only occasionally gets semi-technical, leaving you with 100km of very rideable trail to enjoy! It’s a ride that invites you to open up your engines, and test how long you can keep them running!
And we make sure that all you have to think about is riding. The Trail Break Team have over 20 years experience running long distance MTB challenges, and detailed knowledge of the Ridgeway itself. The Ridgeway 100 Century to the Stones is fully supported, from route marking to multiple feed and support stops, so all you have to do is concentrate on taking on this epic ride!
No, "for balance" they'll have the Association of Bad Drivers on / some other "I'm in favour of cycling, but..." folks!...
That only covers total rainfall, though. My (quite possibly erroneous) understanding, is that, while the trajectory is for more in total, it's also...

I bet this is a case of “something was supposed to be there, but never actually materialised”, which is apparently more common than I realised....
I ride quite a bit in Italy too, and the drivers are every bit as dangerous as in the UK. Close passing is terrible....
Wow! I find it hard to understand sometimes - but I guess I'm woke now....
That's probably the point - they don't want you to have the standard colour scheme - they want you to pay for a custom one.
There's no way this design is lighter than a conventional design of equivalent strength.
Your criticism is specious. Road.cc has never purported to be a site that covers racing of any sort in any detail. They leave it to other sites....
If you're buying a commuter bike, then there is nothing wrong with them. However, the Synapse was a World Tour race winning bike not so long ago...
