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…

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…

Bach 2 Bach

This was going to be an interesting weekend, first time away somewhere more remote for Tom, first time loaded up on my new Travers and first time for us both with what we imagine to be our Tour Divide kit shared between us. The weather forecast was horrific, but the reality was somewhat better, initially…

Tim Woodcock's coast to coast

I’d been longing to do the Coast to Coast since Tim Woodcock put his book of the route out in the mid nineties. I’ve never quite managed it and something has always ‘come up’, so when Simon suggested we do it this year dates went in the diary, a rabble of four was assembled and…
