Did I spot a Gibbon? The tracker's slime trails are making it hard to tell.  ???

Indeed and it looks like he's going back for a second.

Go Steve!

The loop has the feel of multiple Gibbony goodness about it.

Do we know if he's on 2 wheels or 3?

We definitely have at least a pair of Gibbons today!  :thumbsup:

His Strava upload suggests he's back on two wheels. I know the incorrect bike has been recorded in the past while he was Bowling, but he had correctly logged the Ice for his weekend audax. If he is back on the Raleigh, that's impressive as he has managed 101 miles on it today.

I rode with Steve from Thornborough and can confirm that there were only two wheels on his wagon.

I'm surprised Steve is back on the Raleigh,  slight miscalculation at an unclip situation and you can be over and on your 'ass'.  Whilst surprised, I'm also really pleased that he is up for it.  The twisting action of getting out of the pedal must be putting some load on the ankle?

Fingers and everything else crossed here.   ;)

His right pedal is flat on one side to avoid such scenarios.

Good call. At least for a few weeks as the ankle regains strength.
