Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
Tales On Tyres: Riding The Baja Divide from Bombtrack Bicycle Co. on Vimeo. The "Baja Divide" is a new but already established 2735km long off-pavement bikepacking route (created by Lael Wilcox and Nicholas Carman) starting in San Diego, USA and following the length of the Baja California Peninsula all the way to San Jose del…
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…

Recently some of my friends have completed the South Downs Double and I was rather desperate to be part of that club. Several people I knew…
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.
