Reports of adventures from the ADVNTR Team & our contributors.
It may be the first official day of autumn, but we've been thinking about the changing seasons and riding conditions here at ADVNTR for a while now. Layering up and staying comfortable, we've got a few interesting pieces on test from merino baselayers to winter boots.
.
How do you tackle winter conditions, and what would you like to see reviewed on ADVNTR?

Yorkshire? Peak District? No, this is atop the Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the North Somerset coastline near Exmoor. With a huge network of moorland and woodland bridleways, it's a little-know gravel paradise. Have you ridden there?

‘Coming from downhill racing I often bite off a little more than my gravel bike is supposed to chew… Popping on the WTB Resolutes with SG2 immediately beefed up my wheels, giving me a more forgiving tyre that had more grip and was a lot more resilient to the rockier bridleways we have on the Mendips.’ - monetroseadams

‘I’ve been riding them for 2 months now and I’ve taken the Quincy around all of my local trails. As a gravel newbie they have completely elevated the capability of the bike’.
