Bivvy a Month

We had another spell of dry weather and warm too, so we headed off for a decent ride first, then looped back to our usual local spot. A chilled pint at the Devil’s Dyke Inn Along the South Downs Way to the Arun Leaning against my favourite tree Unexpected puncture Breakfast of champions Singletrack to…

Bivvy a Month

Well March was a good month, I managed to squeeze in two bivvies 🙂 First off was one organised on the Tour Divide Race Facebook page, Steve was looking for people in the South of England who had been out on the divide to chat with. Dom Irvine (last year’s northbound winner and I teamed…

Bivvy a Month

On the ride up to the bivvy spot it was so foggy we could barely see past our handlebars, we’d taken the scenic route to one of our favourite bivvy spots and the fog meant it took quite a bit longer than expected. On the plus side though it meant Mike beat us to it…

Bivvy a Month

Last year went pretty well on the Bivvy a Month front, in some cases I actually got out more than once a month, but I did end up missing one when I broke a rib and couldn’t ride. This year I’m determined to make it 12 for 12. January worked out well for me as…

After last year’s not so successful attempt it was time attempt to ride to the West Country to meet my family for our holiday again. This time I was sensible enough to actually give myself the time to make it and actually bring along some company for the ride too. Numbers dropped at the last…

10th Anniversary Welsh Ride Thing

Welsh Ride Thing 2018

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…

Travers Russ Ti - Pack List

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…

Bear Bones Cafe Racer

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…

Travers Russ Ti

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…

Isle of Wight header

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…
