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…

Moab

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…

Rainbow Rim Trail, Grand Canyon

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…

Hiline trail, Sedona

Today was our second serving of Shredona, featuring the Bell Rock Path, Phone, Bell Rock Singletrack Bypass, Slim Shady, Hiline, Baldwin, Templeton and Slim Shady (reversed). It was much hotter at around 33°C, so it was a tough day’s riding. The Hiline trail was both scary and spectacular at the same time, with a very…

After nearly three days of traveling we were looking forward to getting on the bikes at last. We camped in Kaibab National Forest which meant a drive of the final thirty miles into Sedona before we could hit the trail. We visited Over The Edge Sports first to get the lowdown on the area. It…

2018 Wessex trip banner

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 modification

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….

Doethie Valley

You may not ever have heard of the Doethie Valley, but chances are if you’ve read UK MTB magazines regularly you will have seen a photo of it on a cover at one time or another. We’d arranged a daytrip to Bikepark Wales and it seemed like an ideal opportunity to stay overnight and take…

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…
