The legal thing also means no bivvy spots*. I've got a route on the site, with a number of campsites suggested. I've never stayed at any of them.

*Dartmoor and Scotland aside

Snuck another bivvy into June in celebration of the solstice. A gorgeous evening of golden light, set to a soundtrack of Meadow Pipits, Hen Harriers, Barn Owls, Wrens and SBJs. New bivvy mate Agent N and I arranged to meet at the pub. 9n arrival, it turned out to be closed due to "unforseen cir...

I just apply every bikepacker's thinking on weight and packsize to beer.
Also, I shared a bit of it out, 'cos I'm nice like that.

Last night's bivvy tipple was Brew York's Barton 1792 Empress Tonkoko – 10.6% Brewed and released just once a year, each Barrel Aged Empress Tonkoko release spends at least 12 months in a unique selection of Bourbon barrels. This year Barton 1792 was selected for its spicy and rye-richness to add oa...

Looks smaller than I imagined, or is it just far away?

Nah, keeps the heat in, like a survival blanket.

Not even Epic Sax?

Tricky to win it without a bike though.

Bit of a mix really.
A big driver for me is to create more diversity in cycling and the outdoors, so I've offered to help out with the Peak Gravel Gang and MTB Colour Collective for starters.
There's also the prospect of a bit of commercial work alongside my regular employment.

Nervously excited* Friday here, I'll be rolling Wales-wards later as I'm booked for my MTB Leadership assessment at Coed-Y-Brenin tomorrow. Wish me luck!

They're a bit hens' teeth and limited in their fitting options, but the adaptors are out there in theory:

If you want to get out, but that in itself isn't enough motivation, could you link it up with something else? E.g. ride to a friend's house for the evening, camp out on the way home? (Not quite enough motivation + a bit more motivation = enough to do both things) OTOH, if you don't want to get out, ...

Nowt to do with me, but there's an On-One Bootzipper for sale in Bristol at the mo, via @thisoldbear on Instagram.

Less good points: Screechy brakes, rear wheel needs a true.
£250 ONO.

Seems like it could be a decent deal?

Another escapade on the Escapade in Sean's company. For once, I avoided making Sean wait for me, and he rolled up just as I was adding a layer. As we rolled off on our route, we discussed the myriad failings of land access, freehub and cassette compatibility, and Stan's. We rattled along back roads ...
