I know everyone likes a good kit list, and it’s fair to say there is no right or wrong with this, you have to take what is comfortable for you. I spent 18 months refining my kit and making sure I had all the clothes I needed to keep myself warm and dry for all…

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…

Pedaling Innovations Catalyst

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…

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…

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…

SD300 banner

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…
