Mountainbiking in Sussex and further afield too
We’d decided that just for a change we’d do a multi day ride in Normandy, instead of doing the Welsh Ride Thing, though actually I got a real case of FOMO and ended up going and doing that too! We were looking to get in as much off road as possible and I used Komoot…
May saw us back in Wales for the Welsh Ride Thing, it’s a fabulous event that I hate to miss and although I had a trip to France the following weekend arranged I got a severe case of FOMO and decided I had to go. It’s always nice to catch up with friends who I…
So if you’ve explored the site at all you may have seen SD300 up in the menu bar above. It’s a 300KM bikepacking route I have created on the South Downs and all though I have ridden it all I haven’t hit it in one go myself yet (very soon though….). Recently two people have…
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…
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…
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…
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…
We were lucky enough to have six days at Moab, so we wanted to pack in as much riding as was humanly possible. We knew that our ‘must do’ list contained The Whole Enchilada and the Slickrock Trail but we wanted to get in as much of the other good stuff as possible too. After…
I’d heard about the Rainbow Rim Trail and as we had to (almost) drive right past on the way to Moab we decided we had to give it a go. It was a bit of a shock to the system as the elevation was over 8000ft, but fortunately the riding wasn’t too hard and we…
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…
