  • Hi all,
    This is a slightly different video than my usual style. I didn't quite plan to film, but the footage I got was actually more than enough to put together my experience of the new Calder Divide Trail.
    I went into this thinking it would be pretty easy going, I was so wrong! Whilst there were people that passed me and got to camp before in the daylight, but I still pushed hard (and slower) to get as much as possible done.
    Jake and I set off in the mindset to do it in one, things changed but still managed to get 219km done, which was great training for the Bear Bones 200 in a few weeks. I attended the CD after I had C*v*d shortly before. After many negative tests and some time back at work, it was time to test what I could do after this setback.
    This was the first year of the Calder Divide - I will be back. Thank you to all the organisers - they did a stellar job.
    🍕If you enjoyed the film, you can now buy me a slice of pizza to show your support! 🍕www.buymeacoff...

    Hello Al - Only just noticed this one, nice! I love the ambience of your videos, even ad-hoc ones like this. I had to miss this last year but seeing it now has fired me up to give it a bash.

    Thanks Allen, What a great ride, epic landscapes. Almost makes me want to get a mountainbike 😊 would appreciate a bit more info at the beginning to know what it's all about, seemed to have a charity attached as well? See you in the next one!

      Hey, thanks very much for watching. The BB200 is a yearly individual time trial, with no prizes, not even for first place. Each year the route is different, but each year it stays just as hard. Thank you so much for watching. If you fancy it, next year's tickets go on sale on 1st July 2023 - keep an eye out! Link in the description :D Take it easy and thanks again!

      Yeah man! I lost it for 20 minute but Jake found it again. Pleased you liked it. Not my normal film. All from my phone as I didn’t want to carry the drone and stuff for this distance.

      I’ve got one from Jennride actually in my library. My kit for this ride was very close to that setup. Check out “Jennride 2021 - What’s In My Bags?” Video :)
