It’s hump day, we’re just a few days away from Friday! There’s nothing like watching some riding videos to make you dream of heading off on adventures. The weather hasn’t got the memo that we’re heading into June it seems, so fingers crossed for some better weather soon. Here are some of the best videos we’ve found this week.

Casey Brown, Micayla Gatto and Georgia Astle spend some time getting to know the trails around them. This looked like such a good road trip.

Not too good about writing about myself, but not so bad at writing about other things. There was a time that I hated bikes, but then they became my life. Wouldn't be the person I am if I hadn't been on this journey. Here's to bikes, drinking tea and everything that comes with life on two wheels. I'm Lauren, I like bikes and writing about them. Always trying my best and up for adventures.

  1. Really enjoyed backyard BC, reminds me of a trip we did a few years back. I really was born in the wrong place

  3. That Specsh video is so naff, only appealing to 14 year old boys who probably don’t have £6-10k in their piggy bank. Save the advertising budget and discount the bikes! Or go back to the folks who did the last Stumpy Evo video.
