  • After a great mountain bike packing adventure in Wales with Neil, Blake wanted to challenge himself to ride, film and edit another GMBN epic completely by himself. Circumnavigating the island he calls home in the south of England over a long weekend, Blake shares with us some of the local history, sights and sounds from the saddle.

      Nicholas GIBBS no! Victoria was born at Kensington Palace nearly 100 year after Victoria. She is Victoria’s great grand daughter. Unless you are referring to Elizabeth the first which is even more wrong.

    Love riding round the IOW, spent a few weekends exploring there over the years. It's really strange riding along the bridleways and finding the junctions in the middle of fields are properly signposted like the roads are! Done a few rides by parking on the mainland early in the morning, taking the bike over on the ferry (it's free, you just pay foot passenger rates) and done an all-day loop back to catch the late evening ferry back. Via a few pubs and cafes of course... Need to get a return trip arranged for next spring.

    I 1st cycled the Isle of White back in 1990 on a road bike. It was great, even with the rain that started to pour down half way through my ride. It was cold but a blast! I did the entire island in one ride.

    More of this! Would love to see you guys do some bike packing in the alps and other rad spots in Europe. đŸ€˜
