Welsh Wind Farm

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…

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…

Blackburn Outpost cage

Like most people who get really into Bikepacking I’m always experimenting with kit set ups and ways of loading my bike up. For me the ultimate is to not use a backpack, it’s so nice to not be carting extra kit on my back and if that means a heavier bike I’m really not bothered….

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…

Bikepacking Set Up

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…
