This week our friend, Mike Stead @tweetymike on Twitter, joins us for a look at some of his top products he’s reviewed for road.cc recently. Intelligent, insightful and lucky enough to live in the dreamlike cycling test ground of Perthshire, Mike can be relied upon for a strong opinion on anything cycling and well, anything really!

We also look at a superb-looking collection of gravel bike and bikepacking trails that Mike has helped to bring to fruition. The perthshiregravel.com/ router is one we want to ride for sure.
