Getting back into cycling after a while, only barely got into it initially last year but had to take time off.
I've decided to just wander around my local area, relatively rural with lots of bridleways, rather than do what I did last year which was stick to main roads and do repetitive rides.
Got to the bottom of a bridle way and the tarmac surface ended and that tiny gravel stuff began. I've got no idea if this stuff is able to be ridden on and didn't want to risk getting a puncture so I turned around.
Still using the standard tires that came with my Giant Defy 3, haven't upgraded to any of the fancy stuff with ballistically graded sheaths around the inner tube, etc.
Pic unrelated, in hindsight if I knew I was going to ask about it I'd have taken a picture of the road surface (this pic shows the nice road that preceded it)
