The days are getting longer and warmer (pause for celebration)… thank goodness. I don’t need to tell you about the long and cold winter, I’m simply chuffed to bits that it’s nearly a thing of the past. My winter riding kit was still taking up a huge space in my wardrobe, before I hastily bundled [...]
Have you ever got to that point in your riding where you just cant be bothered to head out, for whatever reason? Sometimes trying to rekindle that love for biking feels unachievable in the rain, wind and punishing cold…. So what do you do about it?… Well I’ve found a solution, and an awesome one at that. [...]

The last few months have been pretty wet in the UK, natural rides consisted of hours trudging through 6 inches of slop to get a few minutes of blasting through fast sections in waterlogged woods and dales. Luckily for me, the weather has [...]
Challenging yourself with a task that holds little certainty of completion is all the more sweet when accomplished. It’s important to push the limits of your mind and body to achieve a fulfilled life. Every week I test myself, whether it’s on the bike or on foot, I head out for another voyage into the [...]
Well where do I start? If I won the big one on the Euro millions, beside the normal, buying my parents whatever they want and sorting out my true friends for life, I’d buy myself a place with some land so I could build trails and practice tracks. I’d also put something back into the [...]
