Mountain Biking in West Sussex – Powered by Quest Adventure
It’s a complex story this, of fork troubles, cracked frames and new beginnings that starts with my family holiday to Brecon, and ends with a new bike, the 3rd this year in the Daddy bike room. So, off we set to Brecon, having once again convinced Mrs Daddy that we should take the bikes on [...]
As some of you know an occasional one of our crowd, Steevo, lives up on the edge of Cannock Chase. While we sadly don’t see him down this way very much, the Hummerlicious family unit often goes up to Cannock to say hi and also to sample the trail lushness that is on offer up [...]
This weekend is the August Quest Ride, I’m tying it in with the Brighton Big Dog race. The plan is to meet at Stanmer Park to do the ride as usual, meet at 09:45, ride at 10:00. Do a bit of a shortened ride and get back to the park for the race start at [...]
Well it’s always great to ride somewhere a bit different, last Tuesday we went to Leith Hill and rode some new bits over in the Redlands area that we hadn’t ventured onto before.

Breakfast at 9.00 in Castleton, Derbyshire meant leaving the house at 5.00am and heading off up the M1 to Chesterfield, followed by a bit of cross country shenanigans. After getting mildly lost, I was having a light cyclist breakfast of sausage, bacon, eggs, beans, tomatoes, black pudding, mushrooms, another sausage, fried bread, toast and marmalade [...]
Well despite the bad weather on Saturday, Sunday dawned and it was warm(ish) and dry. We were really looking forward to hitting the Pitch Hill trails again so Tom, Bobster, Deadly, Rich and I met up with Big Daddy in the top car park. We did some of the usual stuff: Judge's seat, double headed [...]

Last Thursday I joined up with the Brighton MTB for one of their now infamous Thursday night rides. With a slight degree of nerves – this was my first night ride in a long time – and a large bucket of excitement I arrived at Sussex University Sports Carpark. I met Simon – who I’ve [...]
