Brett Tippie Interview

There are some people who without even realising it are truly inspiring. One such person is this awesome rider from Canada, who lives life by simply following his soul, and in doing so creates awesome moments.

Brett Tippie is without a doubt a legend and as such, we thought he’d be cool to chat with…

Absolute Black Road Chain Rings

Absolute Black are absolute quality in terms of the items that they produce. We’re really impressed with the quality of the finishing, the machining and the anodising on their premium oval chain rings. The level of detail is superb, with obvious care and attention given to the finished item that carries their brand name.

Tailfin Carbon Bike Pannier

The Tailfin pannier makes any bike a great toruing bike, and opens up a world of adventures for those with carbon road bikes. It’s possibly the best pannier system in the world.

Cindrel Peak, Romania

The Cindrel Peak mountain bike route in Romania is an absolute classic. Starting from Paltinis, the oldest and best mountain resort in Romania, it takes you along epic forested trails, onto the higher plateau of these awesome and breath-taking mountains. Huge thanks to Larisa Chinces for this classic mtb route

Cevennes Gorges France

We have Phil Deeker of Rapha Cent Cols fame to thank for this, after we spotted some amazing photos on social media a couple of years ago, and also having watched Ray Meares’ ” Wild France” programme on TV. The region was described as being tranquil with a spectacular landscape; mountains, gorges and limestone plateaus.

Mont Ventoux and Gorge de la Nesque

Cycle one the legendary and best road cycling routes in France. Mont Ventoux is a classic road cycling route and one of the very best in the world.

Gotra Levanto Italy

A long climb through the forested hills of the Vara valley, on some typical twisting roads, leads to a summit with great views, before it’s down all the way to the coast. However, a small sting in the tail nearLevanto awaits, which is rewarded with a final descent. Then reverse the route home again on the same.

Florence – 1996 Giro

This route is taken directly from a great website for cycling in the Florence area: http://www.florencebikepages.com/ Our thanks goes to them for such a great route.
