3 day introduction to Long Distance Offroad touring …a chance to sample the joys and challenges of Long Distance Offroad Touring, such as you would find on the King Alfreds Way or West Kernow Way, before you make the full scale commitment to do one of these rides.
It will be fun to do on its own or to act as a “toe-in-the-water” to give people a controlled way to get prepare for long distance offroad bike packing. There will be one day on the easy Downslink track route, one challenging climbing-focused day on the South Downs, and a tough day back to the start of the KAW route. Staying in hotels or campsites (if you are thinking of doing any of the long trips using your tent!) Contact – Alan Jelley |
