Second City Divide Trip Log
Ever wondered what a multi-day bikepacking trip actually looks like? Our mechanic John recently found out first-hand, riding the Second City Divide six days from Glasgow to Oldham, self-supported, through wind farms, forest gravel, and some seriously tough Pennine climbs. Here's a look back at how it went.
Unit Five is Officially Open
What a night. Thank you to everyone who came through for our opening party family, friends, and familiar faces from the cycling world, all packed into our new home on Tottenham Court Road.
London Lockdown Ride Review
Every March, a small crew of volunteers takes on the London Lockdown Ride 100 miles through the capital, overnight, in aid of the Lewisham Bank for Things. This year's ride raised over £7,000 and saw Tinashe take on the full loop, from Victoria's bright lights out through south London's suburbs, along the river past Greenwich and Canary Wharf, north past Arsenal as the sun came up, and back west through Regent's Park and Kensington to finish where it started.
The White Horse Round - Overnighter #3
Our third overnighter took us west for a proper test of legs, patience, and puncture repair skills. After tackling the South Downs Overnighter earlier in the year, this time fellow RAB/Unit 5 mechanic John Hooley and I set our sights on the White Horse Round, a 117-mile (194 km) gravel adventure looping through the Wiltshire countryside.
