Today we headed out into the Chilterns for our monthly club Gravel Ride. We were blessed with fine weather and dry trails as we made our way up to Stokenchurch for one of my favorite off-road downhill trails that left everyone smiling by the time we got to the bottom!

Today's group was a mix of riders, some new(ish) to gravel, and some veterans to the dirt trails. The ride went without a technical hitch until near the end when we hit a tubeless tyre issue on a rocky descent. Fortunately, the Stans solution saved the day!  It was great to see all riders enjoying the route, the scenery, and helping each other as we went along. 

We rounded the day off with a recovery drink at the local public house. A perfect end to the ride.
