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…
We made our yearly pilgrimage to Purbeck, we’ve got a couple of different routes that we mix and match when we make the trip west and this time, thanks to Pete, there was a new cafe to investigate too, which is always an important part of any excursion!! Unlike previous trips we took the car…
I met Jordan when chatting on instagram and I built up his new DH bike for him, while we were chatting he was telling me about the bike company he was starting with his mate Tim and the crazy hardtail they had planned. Fast forward a few weeks and the prototype was made and the…
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…
So now it’s 2 for 12 on our bivvy a month for 2017, it’s going well so far. Big Si’s birthday was a good excuse to get out and maybe visit a public house on the way too. Decent weather and a couple of decent rides so all was good. I’m loving the DD superlight…
We’re going to make sure we get out for at least one bivvy a month this year, last night was a proper test as the weather was rubbish! We stayed really local and once everything was set up it was actually a warm and dry night, you just need the right gear and some enthusiasm!…
OK, so I was looking for somewhere to post my random ramblings again, so you’ll find pictures, reports, routes and reviews appearing here as and when I feel the need to write stuff again. I’m going to populate the site with some of the best articles from my other site and then carry on from…
