What we did last summer (in France)

I’ve probably bored you all to tears with tales of the trip that me, Robbie and Donald Smith made through France, but a couple of Burners had asked me to do a write-up with some photos for the web-site. It’s impossible to condense almost 3 weeks of riding into a couple of pages, and a…

Burners on Tour !!!

We’re looking to gauge interest in a couple of trips for 2022 – a long weekend in either Majorca or Denia, and a two night Ardnamurchan gravel adventure. For the Spain trip, we’re thinking of a weekend in May, flying out on a Friday and returning on Monday. That gives us potentially 2.5 days riding,…

Chase The Sun 2021 (by Jude Paterson)

Back in 2019 a group of the Burners completed the Chase the Sun challenge ride, from the East coast at dawn (in Northern England) back to the west coast of Scotland – 200 miles in a day. Having been inspired by this Alex & I entered to take place in 2020. But it wasn’t to…
