Crankworx Dreamin’
Words: Harry GriffithsPhotos: Alistair Chalmers You’ll often hear people local to Whistler moaning in the weeks coming up to Crankworx. “It’s too busy” and “the lift lines are way too long” are the usual reasons for “totally avoiding the village”, according to a gnarled local who has apparently been in Whistler since the ‘glory days’.…
Woods Without Trails
Rolling up to the trails, the excitement was palpable. The most recent lockdown had been the most brutal of the lot. Each of us shut in our own separate rooms, windows blacked out and only the fading memories of riding to accompany us. So faded were the memories now that I wondered if I even…
Wahoo Element Bolt Review
I wrote this review for a job application, so I thought I’d put it up here as well. Being some what of a luddite in the cycling computer world, the Bolt was the first one that I owned. Having been recording rides on my phone for a long time, as I increased my mileage and…

It is the best representation of mountain biking that I have seen…
Minterne Magna Gravel
This was a ride of three parts. Up first was riding for an hour or so on the country lanes, fortunately with a tail wind. Rolling through the small villages such as East Coker and Yetminster was easy going and in Chetnole, I aimed for the first off road section.The first section with a sign…
Somerset Levels Gravel
Lockdown has given all us of time. Most people have filled this with important things like spending more time with family and staying healthy. Whilst doing this to an extent, a big focus for me has been riding locally. With big bike riding off the cards, I turned to my road bike. I say road…
