Mountainbiking and bikepacking in Sussex and further afield
The Frozen Road (Full Film) from Ben Page Films on Vimeo. Self-shot and edited whilst cycling around the world, this short film charts my winter journey into the Canadian Arctic as I completed my bike ride up the American continent. Compelled by Jack London’s assertion, that ‘any man who is a man can travel alone’,…
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…
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…
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….

We made our yearly pilgrimage to Purbeck, we’ve got a couple of different routes that we mix and match when we make the trip west and this time, thanks to Pete, there was a new cafe to investigate too, which is always an important part of any excursion!! Unlike previous trips we took the car…
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….
