All Mountain Style Frame Guard Long Term Review: Protection for life? November 8th, 2021 | Written by Jeffrey | MTB.guide

MTB route Austerlitz September 11th, 2018 | Written by Jeffrey | MTB.guide
This flat 15km novice route lets you ride over the many single trails that the MTB route Austerlitz has to offer. Despite the fact that the route runs over the Utrecht Hill Ridge, there are only 87 altitude meters to be collected due to riding over many large bumps. The partly overlapping MTB route Zeist can also be ridden to increase your cycling fun.

Bryton Rider 330 Long Term Review: Navigation With ANT+ On A Budget July 29th, 2018 | Written by Jeffrey | MTB.guide
As budget GPS units have to compete with smartphones, they need some features to add value. The Bryton Rider 330 has a battery life of 36 hours, can follow GPS routes and supports ANT+ to do so. It’s small and with 54grams not that heavy to carry around. The Bryton Rider 330 has been on my bike for the past year for most of my rides and accumulated 4452km of on- and off-road riding. It’s still going still going strong, but there are a few caveats you should know of.
