There has never been a greater oppotunity to organise an adventure on your bike, especially since Pannie.cc are offering a busary to help you along the way!
You've been secretly admiring Rapha for ages, possibly sub-consciously, maybe like me you spent more time calling out those who showed up in full Rapha kit saying "more money then sense"... Admittedly it's pure jealousy.
Kit was one of the most important aspects of the trip, I'd spent a lot of time researching what worked for others, what was necessary and what wasn't...
The Trans Continental race is one of the biggest challenges I've ever taken on. You can only do so much preparing before you simply have to let go of control and continue trusting that what ever crops up you will deal with then and there and will continue to move forward one way or another.
Paria.cc are new Yorkshire based cycling kit manufacturer, they collaberate with local artist & designs to create one off vibrant & bespoke designs that capture the nature of Paria.
A fitting title for this post. The plan was to cycle up to Penrith after work, what I thought would be a relatively straight forward route/ride, bivy the night, cycle a big day saturday and bivy and cycle back home on Sunday. Unfortunately things didn't go quite to plan.
I've never been all that interested in mapping data, checking my heart rate or keeping an eye on my cadence. Since I decided to sign up for the Trans Continental Race the training has stepped up and I've come to realise the data can make a massive difference!
