Amanda is our resident pedaller, who loves the climbs as much as the descents. No genre of biking is turned down, though she is happiest when at the top of a mountain with a wild descent ahead of her. If you ever want a chat about concussion recovery, dealing with a Womb of Doom or how best to fuel an endurance XC race, she's the one to email.

    Those caterpillars are little blighters. A few people were on the receiving of their hairy spines when I did a Basque MTB Pyrenees backcountry trip a few years ago. Long socks and shin/knee pads were the order of the day.

    Sorry to get geeky. Why did a change of shoes make up for the difference Q-factor between bikes?I’d have thunk that the cleat mount on shoes would tend to the foot Centreline so a change of shoe would not make a lot of difference? I’d have thought shiming the pedal away from the crank face (or crank arms from BB shell) would be what’s needed?

    Again apologies for interrupting a chilled 😜 tour report with a tech question.
