Ride to the Sun - 24 Jun 23

 

I have always wanted to cycle at night in open countryside but I was always too scared. As soon as I heard of this ride, I was in and have no regrets at all! Not sure I'll do it again, as you end up wasting 2 days for just a ride, but sure it's something all cyclists have to do once in their lifetime.

The Wolf's Lair - May 2023

 

We normally spend a week cycling in the Highlands in May, but in between the train strikes and the temperamental weather, I threw the idea of going to sunny Italy and give the Wolf's Lair bikepacking route in the Abbruzzo region a go.
