    South Downs Way - Double 2021

    Having successfully completed a SDD ride last year with my good friend, Nick Dwyer, I had an idea of what worked & what didn't. I also appreciated just how tough a challenge it is & that with the best preparation in the world, you still needed more than your fair share of good fortune to complete the ride!

     

    After my 2020 effort I knew my bike setup was good (although I had changed my drivetrain & brakes to SLX & my tyres to Mezcals). At... more

    South Downs Way - DOUBLE

    The plan to ride 'The Double' came about by accident really - During a telephone discussion between myself & my good friend, Nick Dwyer, we talked about riding the SDW. A big problem identified was how to get to the start / back from the finish. A bit of a logistical ball-ache living where we do, near 'the middle'. Of course, the sensible thing to do for soooo many reasons is to start & finish from home. Simples! In fact, the only reason in the 'against' column for this plan was the... more
