38mm tyres belong on cars

Tractors you mean?

38mm that's a bit wee, I've got me 48s, 50s, 56s and some 60s ( my balloons )

Tempted to buy a hardtail MTB for training purposes after the shapes I was throwing out on the big climb on the three ferries.
I was definitely a more capable climber when I had an MTB. Getting up 25%+ inclines in the West Country with a full touring load, no bother (lower gearing probably helped more than bike type though)... cycled the length of the country without having to get off or bursting into tears.

Can't imagine that on the triban or the focus tbh. I guess we can blame @ShooglyDougie for putting the idea in my head...

And in the time I was typing look what's been posted! It must be fate...

The Focus is in the shop, you should make the most of this time to catch up because once I have it back I'll be in heavy training mode. Pretty sportived out this month but two ton for fun in May is the goal
