    More Than You Can Chew, or Knowing When To Say When

    There always comes a time when you know you need to pull up stumps, cut your losses, get out while the going’s good. It’s those times when your words don’t quite form coherent sentences and the barman looks at you like he’s about to call security, even though he’s only served you one drink and…

  • The Rift Is Proper Gnar

    The Rift Is Proper Gnar

    Ted King seems to be a proper dude. Escaping the circus that is Pro road racing and doing it for the love, rather than the likes, hitting some of the hardest gravel races in the world and usually mixing it up at the pointy end, even if that’s not the motivation for pinning on a number.…

    Bombtrack At The Dirty Reiver

    I hate the term “bucket list“. When did saying “that looks cool, I’d like to try that one day if the chance arises” become compressed into a buzzword that infers that you’re going to die so you’d better do all this shit you may not do otherwise, like if you were immortal so you didn’t…

The bike belongs to Brent Backhouse, a graphic designer who does work for RocketEspresso and Eleven, and also…

    Go The Distance

    Quite a simple plan really, ride to the ferry, do a loop around Northern France of about 250 kilometres, ish, get the ferry back, ride home. Borrow the route from a long distance cycling partner, he knows a good route, thanks Gav. It doesn’t have to be Epic, just a big day out, and just…
