Mountainbiking and bikepacking in Sussex and further afield
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…
After last year’s not so successful attempt it was time attempt to ride to the West Country to meet my family for our holiday again. This time I was sensible enough to actually give myself the time to make it and actually bring along some company for the ride too. Numbers dropped at the last…
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…

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…
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…
So I’ve been making a few changes to the spec of my main bike, the awesome Kinesis Sync, recently. Mainly for an upcoming mega-project I have my eye on. This weekend the the first chance I’ve had to go and put it through it’s paces with it’s new Kinesis IX rigid carbon forks. It feels…
