- Join me as I go inside The Southern Divide, a 676km bikepacking event that traverses the south of England.
I catch up with participants cycling in the event, from those trying to do it with very little sleep in preparation for other ultra races and those who are embracing the full bikepacking experience.
In 2023 I took part in the event, so it was interesting to see it from a different perspective!
The Southern Divide has to be one of the best bikepacking events out there, offering something for everyone, showcasing great cycling routes both on and off road.

Thanks for checking in on us Tom! This was my first proper multi-day and I'd watched your video from last year a number of times. Thanks for the inspiration and the support! 👊
Well done for doing it. Was it anything like the video? 🤔
Amazing to see how you’ve inspired real people to try the cycles you have done ! Real inspiration.
What a lovely person to go out and support riders on things you have achieved ! Where’s the next report ? Atlas ?? Xx
Have I inspired you to do it 😅
Perhaps 🫣 😂 I will just watch with my eyes at the moment 😂 x
That was brilliant Tom, thanks so much for getting out there and talking with them. I know it really lifts riders spirits to find dotwatchers out there following them.
Thank you. Was good to see some of the riders and give them a shout! You did a great job putting the event on again, everyone was loving it!
Loved this video, Thanks!
I’ve been avidly
Dotwatching this race
So it’s nice to see the”Dots” in reality.
I know much of the route and will be entering next years event, if the Panceltic doesn’t completely break me😊
I'm sure you'll do great at the Pan Celtic. The Southern Divide is a real nice one and one of the best ones I've done so far
What is the overall terrain like. Is it mostly on road?
It's probably about 40% off road and a real mix. Hilly down in Devon! I did make a video of when I rode it in 2023 which may give some idea of the terrain. Are you tempted?
@@CycleXplorerI sure am tempted. Just got to get my A-levels out of the way first 😅
Be a great post A level celebration. It's a nice intro into the world of silly cycling
Theres a lot of off road. About 60% off road in time. An amazing route
@@aintnothingbutmamils, it’s around 35% off road, but it takes about 70% of the time.
...The DDDDothunter...perfect turb viewing
Waiting, watching 🔭
A good session planned?
