A Tricross isnt a tourer, dont waste your money on it unless you want to tour lightweight. I toured on mine, including Spain to the UK because its my commuter and I cant afford another bike. The supplied rear wheel isnt strong enough to cope with a load on the back (you dont want broken spokes)The ...

Congratulations. That might be next years mini tour for me. Is the route now well signed?

Hi
Just got back from a short 4 day tour from Shrewsbury to Bucknell to Hay on Wye to Ludlow and back to Shrewsbury. 148 miles tound trip - highly recommended.

Nice work.

Carl. Have you looked at the Specialized tricross? This years model comes with disc brakes - I have a 2010 model and have used it for touring a few times on all sorts of terrain - and can't rate it highly enough. No suspension forks, but as others have asked, do you really need them.

I live in a conservation area of a small market town. We see traffic wardens at most once or twice a week. As a result motorists park all over the place to visit shops, (with their 'park anywhere' lights flashing of course). I rejoice when I see the wardens, hoping they will get some good revenue f...

I rode it at the end of last year and once i got to Talacre it was road riding all the way to Connah's Quay I'm afraid.

Has anyone received the June/July copy of the magazine yet? I'm not sure if mine has got lost in the post.

Thanks
