Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
Like most people who get really into Bikepacking I’m always experimenting with kit set ups and ways of loading my bike up. For me the ultimate is to not use a backpack, it’s so nice to not be carting extra kit on my back and if that means a heavier bike I’m really not bothered….
Rather than the rush of previous years we left on Friday morning, the journey from Worthing can take seven or eight hours so it was nice to arrive at the bunkhouse mid afternoon in stead of at midnight like last time! An honourary mention must go to Hafren Forest Bunkhouse, we first stayed here for…
This post details my bikepacking set up, I don’t profess to be an expert and the great thing about bikepacking is there is really no right or wrong way of doing it. So all the kit you see here is what works for me, not necessarily the lightest or the best, but it allows me…
We were back in Mid Wales for the Bear Bones Bikepacking winter event the Cafe Racer. The weather forecast was changing on an almost hourly basis on the lead up, but in the end the forecast was rain for the latter part of Saturday and clear for Sunday. We’d planned to do a 90 mile…
A recent look on the equipment page on Strava revealed that my Travers and I have now spent 5000 miles together. It’s quite interesting to look back at the original photos and see how the kit on the bike has changed since it first turned up in November 2015, but I can safely say that…

Not Far From Home – Destination North from Kona Bikes on Vimeo. There’s a common saying that life is like a wave and our existence is essentially surfing whatever kind of water comes our way. Metaphorically there may not be a better way to justify the ebbs and flows of good and bad that everyone…
Given By Mountains from Joe Cruz on Vimeo. In the summer of 2016, four of us—Lucas Winzenburg, Joel Caldwell, Logan Watts and I—rode for 23 days across Kyrgyzstan. We rode fat bikes over marshes, through valleys, and atop high passes. This is a film about the beauty of Kyrgyzstan and how it remains with them.
I met John on the Welsh Ride Thing and we were chatting on messenger thinking about getting out for a bivvy elsewhere. John decided that he wanted to come out of his comfort zone and head as far South as possible so we decided we’d hit the Isle of Wight and try to visit all…
We’d been planning this one for a while, a trip down the Wessex Way and then back home. Despite all the planning we tweaked the route as we went and then halfway through changed the plan completely! It was a great trip, riding some new and some familiar trails, some new and some familiar coffee…
