READER'S RAMBLE: LUISA'S CLIMBING SPECIAL
With one of the most interesting Giro's to ever happen in recent memory, we thought we'd share Luisa Grappone's (Hunt in-house engineer) ride up the Passo della Borcola. While the Borcola will rarely headline in the Giro, it packs a punch that even the climbers will feel.
HUNT DISCUSSIONS: IS XC DEAD?
After a long wait since the first World XC round, the classic Albstadt did not disappoint last weekend. But the promise of a more technical Nove Mesto got us thinking…
READER'S RAMBLE: SOUTH DOWNS WAY
The South Downs Way holds an almost legendary status for any die-hard, all-day, cross-country rider. And rightly so – it is, in the most literal sense, a ride across the country that jaunts through Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. Stretching a grand total of 100miles from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east, it is an all-day epic MTB ride.
THE CASSETTE #17: ANG'S XC MIX
This week’s Cassette has is the first ever inclusion from a Hunt team member’s parent: Hamish’s mum. Since this week is all about XC, we thought we’d reach out to Ang to spin us a few tracks that she puts on for an XC MTB ride.
READER'S RIDE: PACE RC129
This week's Readers Ride is our first ever MTB feature! With this, we thought it would be great to show you a bike which belongs to Hunt. That’s right – it’s our communal MTB used by all of us here when in need.
THE CASSETTE: DAN'S SEGGY MIX
We called upon in-house MTB film connaisseur Dan Clark to list his five favorite songs from riding films. We can almost guarantee that if you recognize these songs from their film, you will want to go out for a ride!
GLOBAL CYCLING NETWORK VERSUS JOSH IBBETT: ATLAS MOUNTAINS, MOROCCO
It seems every day we are hearing of Josh Ibbett taking off to somewhere remote to ride his bike. But this time around it was with a bit of a twist. Our friends over at Global Cycling Network invited Josh to teach them the ropes of bikepacking in quite possibly a place on every Bikepacker's bucket list - the Atlas Mountains.
READER'S RAMBLE: HARD-MAN-DAN'S HILL CLIMB LOOP
For this week's Reader's Ramble, we could think of no better route designer than the local hardman famous for riding through just about anything... really fast...
READER'S RIDE: LEE'S SCOTT FOIL DISC
What better way to introduce our latest member of the Hunt staff team than not by introducing them personally, but by showing you their bike. Lee has joined us with a background in aerodynamics and working on concept project with the likes of Mercedes F1 racing.
THE CASSETTE #15: The Sea Otter
Asides from all our exhibition bikes, wheels and pop-up tents (so basically everything) not clearing US Customs until 5pm the day before the exhibition started, it was smooth sailing so we thought it'd be good to put together an equally smooth playlist... all with songs about California.
