DESTINATION: TUCSON ARIZONA

Travel bug rider Jef Kendall-Weed has a new project – the videoseries Local Loam. What a great way for him to visit different locations and fully enjoy the trails there. His fist episode brought him to Tucson Arizona. Check out what Jeff has to say about this episode.

DESTINATION: NEPAL

How does it feel to ride in high altitude? Ever wondered how it feels to achieve your first 1000 feet altitude gain in a long epic ride and then only to be greeted with another 1000 more? If you think you are up for the challenge, it’s time to tackle Nepal!

DESTINATION: GRAVITY CHINA

Blessed with great terrain for mountain biking and a vast pool of potential talents to promote the sport, we have always wondered how would the global mountain biking scene change should the Chinese decide to drop gear and rage forward on developing this discipline of cycling sport. We spoke to 2 Singaporean riders who came back with a taste of racing in Guangdong, China.

DESTINATION: NEXT LEVEL CYCLING TRIP – LAND AIR SEA

Usually, when we mention cycling trips, we think about going to another country with great terrain, ride our brains out, enjoy some local flavours & entertainment and finish off with a little shopping. That kind of wraps up how cycling trips would be, in a nutshell. What if we think out of the box a little and throw in a sea component? We are not talking about an after-ride boat cruise, we are talking about using a full-size, all-in cruise liner to bring us to where we gonna ride. Fresh enough? Let’s go on a Fly-CycleCruise!

DESTINATION: NEW ZEALAND LAKE TAUPO CYCLE CHALLENGE

A New Zealand MTB holiday could be on the cards for you later in 2017 if you are inspired to take up the Cycle Challenge in Taupo this coming November. It is New Zealand’s biggest and most iconic event that sees the small township of Taupo triple in population with all accommodation booked out months in advance.

DESTINATION: RIDING TAIPEI WUZHISHAN TRAIL

Little did I expect that a few days prior to leaving Singapore for Taipei, I chanced upon a contact that provides a half-day guided ride to the trails in Taipei. Not personally knowing anyone who had gone to Taipei with agenda of riding yet, I was thrilled. Trails in a highly urbanised city most well-known for eating and shopping?
