Unexpected fallen tree by Lewis Craik, on Flickr
I wasn't expecting this fallen tree mid ride, may need to return with a saw to clear it up.

Took my new touring bike *snip* with it's 35mm tyres.
Hello,would you mind letting me know which tyres you have? I'm looking for something for my commute for the winter, on my Revolution Cross. I'm currently using 25mm Gatorskins but by heck are they harsh! The Maxxis that came with it are a bit too offroad so I'm looking for something in between.
Many thanks

The bike comes with the standard Greenguard Schwalbe Marathons, not the pluses that are even more puncture resistant, but can be more of a challenge to get on the rim first time.would you mind letting me know which tyres you have?

The tyres roll well, but comfort was the main priority for me as I have got into Audax's this year and am looking at doing a 400k ride before the summer's out.
Not quite the same as most of the recent ones and from a couple of days ago.
Had my first proper off since I started riding again, the back wheel just went from under me on a steep downhill corner, luckily its just bruises and some quite bad road rash but could have been worse as I ended up on the opposite side of the road.
I've hidden the images in case people don't want to see.

One image from three days last week.
300 km and 6000m of Yorkshires finest.

Not so much today's ride as from the weekend...
6km in to a 40km ride, in frost-covered western Sydney, my mates rear hub shat itself... He had a gentle jog back to the car, while the rest of us carried on for a couple of laps
Yesterday managed three laps of my local circuit, about 40km and 800m of climbing in muddy, slippery rocky stuff - not terribly relaxing, but great fun. Local Council have done some maintenance and it works a treat...
Usual stop for coffee - terrible winter we're having...
And the yet-to-be-cleaned bike - doesn't look that crusty compared to riding around wet forests, but a high proportion of you can see is sand, and it gets in everywhere... And have detected a slight knock which I think is the bearing at the lower end of the shock, so a full strip down is due. But not this week.

Magic thanks The tyres roll well, but comfort was the main priority for me as I have got into Audax's this year and am looking at doing a 400k ride before the summer's out.
I was considering the Marathon Pluses, and indeed watched a youtube video on installation tips
Good luck with the Audax!
