Thoroughly enjoyed this video Tom , happy Christmas and healthy new year to you and yours. ❤
Great video Tom, going to try out over xmas week ,happy Christmas 🎄
I've been meaning for a while to ride the New Forest and this look like a great introductory route to ride. Also looks like it holds up fairly well in the winter weather. Thanks for the route Tom.
Looking forward to riding it, have a happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas from a fellow New Forest gravel rider! I make good use of your recommended tracks!
Happy Christmas Tom!
Look forward to hearing what bikepacking races you've got planned in 2026!
Nice winter route, and probably fine on the gravel bike.
My favourite ride is your 3 counties ride. I enjoyed it so much I did it twice, first on the mtb, then on the gravel bike. I was quicker on the gravel bike, but that may have been because I had to do the last hour in the dark. Nice cakes and coffee at Child Okeford stores.🍰☕
How do you keep crud off the water bottle lids? Don't really want a tapeworm for Christmas 🪱
Great video! What do you use to clean your bike? And do you wash it after every ride? Any tips?
Thanks Tom for another great video and route. I hope to hit plenty of your routes with my wife in 2026. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Nice route, Tom! I might try it if I don’t sell my bike! 😬
I did a lot of that route in the summer based on your nifty fifty. Merry X
Thanks for sharing this route. I gave it a try today, very very wet but lots of fun👍
Cool route and Video Tom , I hope try this in the new year !
For next year I have the Aethelredultra , Dorset and Alps divide 😅
Thanks for the video and route. Will check it out in the spring. Have a good Christmas.
