Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
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…
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…
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…
The Sustrans NCN2 route runs along the bottom on my road and when my family had decided to go camping in Cornwall I decided I’d ride along and meet them. The first part of trip is pretty familiar as I have ridden along there on more than one occasion on my way to other places….
Well sometimes things go your way and sometimes they don’t! But there’s always the chance to learn something from it along the way and this weekend was no exception. 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…
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….
