CCW to Cowes & Back – A Trio’s Tale

We never miss the opportunity to get in on an adventure. So when Hallsy planted the seed, it didn’t need much watering to sprout shoots. With a few adventures planned in 2023, a late 2022 test of a few bike packing set up items was in order. Within a fortnight from a mere whisper of […]

Don’t Forget Your Own Backyard – Part 2

Oh my god what is that noise and where am I? Wow – I am glad I set the alarm as I was completely out of it after yesterday’s ride. Like waking after a big night out. A quick check of the body and while stiff it doesn’t feel too bad. Feeling a little sluggish […]

Don’t Forget Your Own Backyard – Part 1

Sometimes we look for opportunities to ride and explore in areas far over the horizon. Higher mountains, dirt roads or longer rides. However sometimes a look closer to home will deliver just as great an experience. With the year moving on from summer and daylight savings, riding in Autumn is some of the best riding […]

Well it has certainly been a while since I last embarked on an adventure, let alone wrote about one. While it has been a while we have not been idle that’s for sure. I had decided to take an overnighter and had a process to go through to do it, so sit back relax with […]

2021 Cervelo Aspero launch

You know we love our Gravel riding and Gravel bikes. There are so many aspects to love about it, because it is some many things to different people. For some they love the opportunity to get away and bikepack ride. For others they want to get off the roads and away from the cars. For […]

A Summer for new roads – Dare To Roam

With the theme of DareToRoam, and highlighting the Wahoo Elemnt Roam, we designed a day that fits right into our sweetspot of Gravel […]

A Summer for new roads – Our Gravel Story

Are you sick of riding the same roads, week after week? The same roads that are becoming a bit more frequented by traffic. The mundane doesn’t need to remain as the mundane. It’s time to find YOUR new roads. We really love riding the roads less travelled. We love finding new routes, whether it be […]
