Field Notes

News

Trip reports, gear notes, and the occasional bike review — written after the ride, not before it.

Ambassador Edition: almost 2,800 km of road book riding through Portugal and Spain to Alicante, staying in monasteries and castles along the way.

Three days of mountain passes, plenty of fuel stops, and a whole lot of opinions on the new suspension setup.

My tried-and-tested setup for touring through 38°C heat, from helmet to boots.

A 4 a.m. wake-up call, a cliffside road, and the kind of ride that reminds you why you started.
