Tour of the South

Days 10 to 13 Day 10 90 miles – 3350 feet climbing – Burbage to Guildford As it turned out no one appeared in the night, but none the less it was a fitful night’s sleep. It was still quite hot and the bivvy bag was really quite unpleasant, coupled with the fact the wood…

Days 6 to 9 Day 6 74 miles – 5479 feet climbing – Marazion to Trevelgue I started off the day feeling really rough, but at least the sun was shining so we headed out in the direction of Land’s End. Neither of us had been there before and I wanted a photo next to…

Tour of the South

With the Tour Divide a definite no go for 2021 with all the issues associated with Coronavirus, flights and border crossings we decided not to waste all the hard earned fitness we had accrued and decided to do a two week trip for the purpose of both getting a few miles in and making sure…

The Trans Cambrian Way had be calling me for a number of years and what with the pandemic ruining the year for the Welsh Ride Thing and other events we usually do we decided to go and check it out. Having been riding regularly in the area for a few years now we knew that…

In April 2021 the planets, and more importantly the weather, aligned itself for another crack at the King Alfred’s Way. Back in August 2020 we did the top half of it anti clockwise on our trip to Newquay. Then we had a crack at the bottom half in December 2020 on a ride home from…

Summer 2020 I headed west to Newquay once again to meet my family for our summer holiday. This year I had Chris along with me and I’d allowed a week and planned a longer, more complicated route than previous years, with the hope of seeing a decent slice of south west England. Day 1 took…

So a few new people have had a crack at my SD300 bikepacking loop. First off was John White, I was amazed when he broke the 24 hour barrier with his 23 hours and 40 minutes. Then along comes Charlie Holden with a rather bonkers 21 hours 14 minutes, though from the picture it looks…

Wey Arun canal

In the summer of 2019 I put together a loop using the Downs Link path north to Cranleigh, then following as closely as legally possible the Wey Arun canal back. The route worked out OK, but living where I do we end up using the Downs Link a lot and let’s face it, that can…

French Ride Thing

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…
