This 633 km adventure started being something physically challenging to do with my four-year-old daughter (Becky). However, it turned out to be the ultimate bonding experience and how she taught me to see the world through the eyes of a child again. “It is your perspective of a moment that makes it good or bad.… Continue reading Rediscovering the spirit of adventure.

Long-distance bikepacking with toddlers? Here’s proof it can be done.
Endless forests, pristine lakes, fresh air and hundreds of kilometers of gravel roads. When Andy Cox published his European Divide Trail earlier this year, we got restless. Adventure was calling and we must answer. The fact that we have two toddlers running around the house doesn’t change that. Quite the opposite, we are eager to… Continue reading Long-distance bikepacking with toddlers? Here’s proof it can be done.

And when he’s not riding or dreaming of his next ride, he’s teaching… Continue reading 133km in 3 days; a German cross-country adventure.

The Golden Hour Ride
“How do you two do it!?” This is a question my wife Alyse and I often hear on our adventures with our little lady crew of Reid (9), Rowyn (7), Collyns (4) and Roux (21 months). I think in part we hear this because having 4 daughters gets people’s attention, and in part because no… Continue reading The Golden Hour Ride
Overnight Adventure With Trev
People told me it couldn’t be done. Bike packing with a toddler? Madness. Now, I like to think that I have a can-do attitude, I love camping, I love bikes and I love spending time with my boy, and I refuse to be told that something is impossible.
