Ever since my first bikepacking adventure in Dartmoor in 2021, I've been eager to return. The opportunity finally arose, and this time, accompanied by my dear friend Simon, we embarked on a two-day adventure on two wheels. Join me as I recount our bikepacking journey through this stunning national park.
My mates were on a mission. They wanted to conquer Devon's hills without breaking a sweat (or their bank accounts). Enter the U2 City Commuter, a budget-friendly e-bike that packs a surprising punch.
Back for another round of gravel glory at the 2024 Dorset Gravel Dash! This was my second time taking on this fantastic event, and it definitely lived up to the hype.
Let's face it, there's a certain smug satisfaction that comes with powering up a steep climb and staying firmly in the saddle while your mates grind away on foot. That was the feeling I craved, and what sparked my recent upgrade to my beloved Sonder AL Camino.
The winds whisper secrets of forgotten trails through Dorset's rugged embrace. In 2024, this Jurassic playground unleashes another season of epic gravel events, promising heart-pounding climbs, thrilling coastal dashes, and hidden gems nestled within rolling emerald hills.
Mud on the trails, giant puddles everywhere... Winter is coming and so the season of bike upgrades begins. Having had quite a few punctures recently, I thought it's about time to swap my old Goodyears with something which will provide more traction, puncture protection, and speed.
The Dorset Dirt Dash 50/50 was my first organised cycling event, and it was a blast! It's a self-supported bikepacking event over two days, taking riders on a 94-mile route around the lovely terrain of Dorset, UK.
