We put together a series of 'monster' rides this Spring and in to late summer, the four 'Landrace to' rides started from our Studio in Bloomsbury, London and navigated their way to Brighton - twice due to popular demand - and to Folkestone via the Thames' Tow Path and the Pilgrim’s Way.
Both routes were day long rides picking their way through London's back roads and tracks and then on to the lanes and gravel sections in the countryside, gravel bikes were much required and the Tupelos were used by several customers.
We also took on the South Down’s way from Winchester to Eastbourne in one day, 100 miles and 3,000m of climbing and nearly all off-road; its a classic bucket list ride for many mountain bikers and gravel riders.
Jules used the Hog Hill MTB which was the perfect tool for the job.
Here is the South Downs Way route, we will be heading back next year.
It was a great opportunity to ride with our customers and to meet new people and put our frame designs to the test.
We are already lining up routes for 2025 and working on a testing four day ride from London to Paris on road and gravel in June.
