Wheelers At Large are out cycling again this time with the Gravel Guerilla September group ride. We call an ambulance for a fallen cyclist on route to the group ride. The gravel ride starts on the MTB tracks near Picket Post then we head towards Frogham, the Canadian War memorial and back to Picket Post, then breakfast at Cafe Velo in Ringwood.
Help us fuel the rides with coffee ☕. – https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wheelersatlarge

Of course I'm glad to hear the fallen cyclist was OK but as important, was the bike OK?
Last time I went down I took the impact to protect my bike frame. Daft isn't it!
Good on you guys helping out a fellow cyclists or even if it was a person in general… Karma will be good to you… we need more care and love for one another the way things are happening around us these past 2 years. Be safe, stay upright, take care and keep on riding :). Love from Australia :D🥰
So good you stayed and helped. I am sure he seriously appreciated it. Good Karma is coming your way Wheelers. The glasses look find as well – almost Geraint Thomas!
Well done Mike, Julie and crew very nice ride. Really unfortunate when anyone takes a tumble, thank goodness Nurse Julie was in attendance which im sure was a comfort. Julie certainly got her fill of Yee haa's along the way, enjoy the rest of your week.
I know all about a shattered left hip, but my bionic new hip has clocked up 12,323 miles in 17 months👌🏻
Great ride dear friends. Early in the morning, i like too much like you enjoy riding. Greetings from Argentina 🇬🇧😀🇦🇷
Funny when Mike says "it's not even 7 o'clock yet" on the yeehaas. Sad for the crashed cyclist, hope he recovers soon. Good for you all to help. Stay safe over there!
Crikey, you're out early again!
I know a lot of people swear by waxing their chains, but it just seems alien to me not to clean it and relube after every ride. I just put a new chain on my Fatbike and rode it with just the grease it comes with and that was a real battle with my oiling instincts 😅
Hope the chap is ok and back on a bike soon 👍
A crashed cyclist was the group leader a couple years ago. The lurid crash was on a wet bar grate bridge. I stopped just before the bridge and bore witness. We carefully dragged him out of traffic. He had a broken hip and some ribs. This had a very negative effect on the rest of the ride. He made a full recovery, but I will always remember that day. I can play that one back in my minds eye. Stay safe for others sake too!
Well done guys for helping. Hope he's ok
She says 'I'm doing 20mph now without touching the pedals' then that leg was moving by itself in that bottom right corner of the view? lol
Nor the beat jump, I'll have tontry harder. As for the glasses Mike, give them to Elton John!
Mike, I'm glad chain waxing is working out for you! Waxing chains can be a bit time consuming. However, if one combines waxing with other maintenance tasks, chain waxing becomes less of an issue time wise. And as you mentioned, one added benefit is that life of chains are greatly increased. As are the life of cassette and chainrings.
E-bike weight can be an issue. There are road e-bikes that weigh 30-35 pounds. However, e-bikes in this weight range come with a hefty price tag. For me the advantage of an e-bike in the 30-35 lb. range is that it would be more in line with pedaling 35 lb. a mid priced non-electric powered mountain bike with an aluminum frame. I.e. still light enough to pedal like a normal non-e bike.
I was excpecting for someone to be putting their camera in the face of an injured cyclist for content.. I was wrong. good people exist.
just after charismas I knocked my knee cap out of place did a diy repair time the ambulance would have arrived I would have frozen to death 5 months to repair still not right but getting there the pain gone unless it a very steep hill all good
Haaaaa awesome ride. The yeeee haaaaaaws wake you up. Lol.
Very cool helping out the guy that took a spill. The MTB tracks looked like pretty loose gravel. Gravel Guerilla group looks like a lot of fun to ride with.
