The goal was to ride every trail on the Golfie in one ride. That's 44 trails. It would require an insane level of fitness, and commitment. The route would ultimately cover 148.3 km and with 8,297 m of climbing. Then you need the “knowledge”. The trails range from mellow-ish, through to EWS hard, and too hard for EWS, challenges. In short, it isn’t simply about fitness. You must be good. You must be……mad. This is the story of Mark Scott's mission to try a full round of the Golfie. And it's a story of the trails and the people there.

When appointments and stress seem to have control over your life, it is more important than ever to find moments to escape. This bike is built to accompany your escape into nature. Together with your ATLAS, you will handle everything on the way. It is like a reliable good old friend. Whether in bad weather conditions or on demanding surfaces, when suffering during steep climbs or going the really long distances – this fast and comfortable carbon gravel bike offers full control and maximum versatility. It fully supports your ride, even to the end of the world. Due to the combination of long reach and short stem, the ATLAS is a rather long bike resulting in a really smooth ride. Super short chainstays make the carbon gravel bike playful and agile. The groupsets have gravel-optimised transmission and ergonomics to provide the best performance for all bikepacking adventurers. A wide handlebar with flare ensures full control and comfort. Ready for every bikepacking adventure The ATLAS frame offers many options to carry bags comfortably. Our Adventure Rack, the new rear rack for the ATLAS, is the perfect solution if you need an alternative to your saddle bag or even more loading capacity. Clean and good-looking cockpit All cables are routed from the handlebars underneath the stem into the headset and frame. The cockpit offers mounting options for a bike computer, action camera, or light. https://www.focus-bikes.com/int/atlas-carbon-gravel-bike-made-to-lose Follow us: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/FOCUSBikes?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/FOCUSBikes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FOCUSBikes Twitter: https://twitter.com/FOCUSBikes Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/185937 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/focus-bikes Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.focus-bikes.com/subscribe

A 3 day bike packing adventure in Northumberland, UK, exploring the state of English River Health, good times and a search for tight line on the River Breamish and Coquet. #bikepacking #rivers #northumberland #bikefishing #riverpollution --- The rivers that cut paths through our land are the arteries that connect us to the wider world. From birth, we learn to love these meandering and glistening wonders that our very civilisation was found upon. Yet, English rivers, that form such a romantic and integral part of our psyche are being slowly suffocated by a potent mix of nutrients, sewage, interference and gross mis-management. They are dying, and with their death the very wonders that capture our imagination and sustain our lives will be lost forever. In Rural Northumberland, two rivers cling on to their health with a tenacity that is reflected by the communities who would seek to preserve their lives. Both the river Breamish and Coquet take their places in the last 14% of English rivers that maintain good ecological health. Yet they themselves are vulnerable, like every river in England, failing their chemical test in 2019. The upper reaches of these rivers are where were headed on an exploratory, 3 day bike packing trip through the Northumberland national park, in search of clean water, healthy fish, and experiences that are increasingly rare in a polluted nation.

There's no doubting that as we get older, the physical boundaries that dictate our lives get bigger, broader and opportunities open up. The world, so to speak, is our oyster. A child's ability to explore of their own accord is a very different experience. Their world is more contained, but oddly enough, not necessarily smaller. Imagination allows us to enter the world's unseen spheres, and create excitement from the act of thought. It opens up the world to us. Joe Barnes is well known for his stellar racing career, memorable media and wild imagination. With two children, Joe's use of his imagination is now being put to use in ways that cultivate the same emotions that Joe gets from bikes, into his son Bo's life. Join us as Joe and Bo go on a journey around Lochabers hidden landscapes and enter very different worlds. #bikes #mtb #bikelife #scotland #outdoors #fishandchips

After a season of puzzles and promise in 2021, Rab is back for another shot in 2022, a year older, maybe wiser, but one thing that has definitely changed is that he is now a full-time pro. That’s right, at the sprightly age of 36, Rab has become a full-time pro for the first time in 14 years. While this is one heck of an achievement, it doesn't mean anything unless it builds a process for success - and as we find out in Episode 1, becoming pro isn’t all sangrias and pilates in the sun, it is a whole lot more time consuming than you’d imagine….but it’s also the start of a journey that is full of twists, turns, and excitement.

Isla Short is bringing Juliana Bicycles to the World Cup Cross Country circuit for the first time this season - and she's doing it her way. Isla grew up in riding bikes with her family in the mountains around Scotland and quickly found herself as a force on the race scene, progressing all the way to the Elite World Cup Cross Country circuit. Over several seasons, Isla discovered that while it's nice to perform well, it's not all about the results: it's about having fun and enjoying the ride. This mindset is what led Isla to create her own race program, a program that fits her personality and inspires confidence. "Everything I've pursued I've always wanted to do differently . . . You can kind of learn to be adaptable, but for me I'm just like, 'oh, I'll just learn to do it my way.'"
