Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
May Bivvy 1 The weather was pretty good again, but some rain was forecast overnight, I’d been experimenting with different tarp setups, this one was pretty good, certainly lots of space for my kit, but it needs another pole to keep the back up and off your feet. May Bivvy 2 Another bivvy in a…
Heading out of Bear Bones HQ we went a different way to those we have used in the past, out up the valley on the bridleway. It was a good choice, not too steep, but it got us all warmed up ready for the day ahead. We rode a variety of bridleways, heading towards Machynlleth….
We hit the jackpot with April’s bivvy, the weather was awesome and the trails were fast and dry. We camped in our usual spot near Chanctonbury and then had a way too expensive second breakfast in Steyning.

March 2017 bivvy a month, the weather was not exactly what we were looking for with really high winds and the threat of rain. We got a decent ride in first to keep warm and had a quick whiskey in the George at Burpham. Then we headed up on to the South Downs Way. I…

Tour Divide Diary Day 31 25/07/16 Moab Slickrock Trail 10.2 miles 1660 feet of climbing As a mountainbiker from the UK my first experience of the Slickrock was in the 1994 film Tread:The Movie. In the film it says “once a cool thing is done, it cannot be undone”, well I was looking for a…
Tour Divide Diary Day 30 24/07/16 It was only 149 miles to Moab and we got that done pretty early in the morning. There were yet more incredibly straight, incredibly tedious roads to drive, but once we were getting deeper into Utah the scenery started to get more interesting and we were both really excited…
Tour Divide Diary Day 29 23/07/16 It was time to repeat the process from the previous day, stick Tom in the car and pack up quick. We headed south through the Grand Teton National Park. We stopped at a pull in by the lake and I got out to take some pictures. A little further…
