Mountainbiking and bikepacking in Sussex and further afield
South of Chichester there is a great network of gravel paths, you can join them up to make a fun loop. There are a selection of cafes and pubs en route too. This can either be a fun, quick blast, like my ride was, or you can take your time, visit some cafes and have…

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…
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…
Last year I switched from riding SPD pedals on my bikepacking bike to flat pedals. I’ve ridden SPD’s for just about as long as there have been SPD’s and despite coming from a BMX background and being comfortable on flatties I’ve always preferred to be clipped in on a MTB. The main reason for the…
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…
