It's testing time for the gravel bike on the Toxic towpath

https://strava.app.link/JKdRlqMPKMb finally picked up the gravel bike on Saturday after a bronze service new rear hanger rear gear cable and some tubeless fluid in the tyres so we're of out testing testing on a biggish canal loop out to Chasewater passing under Black Cock Bridge (could do with a new name me thinks) also came across a traditional Romany camp and back taking in the closed Toxic section of towpath but didn't realise that until I'd got to the end barrier which you can sidestep obviously someone has removed or thrown in the canal the other one at Rolling Mill St and there's shed loads of people walking along it anyway no boats though Birchill lock flight have the paddles locked and there's still stops planks must say that there's a definite lack of wildlife in that section, the performed ok only thing I had to do was adjust the gears to take account of a bit of cable stretch
