21 hours 40 mins for 500km gravel with 7300m of ascent! What a stunning, insane and memorable time at #GBC500

Swipe for the finishing video at 5.40am. I was shattered but elated!

Thanks @enduranceaventure - Dan & the entire team. If you haven’t experienced gravel riding in North America, then I highly recommend heading to Quebec and the Eastern Townships. Endless trails from fast gravel road to single track.

Whilst I pushed it and went for the win, the spirit of this event is as much about pure adventure and experiencing the local cuisine and culture. Many riders enjoy the route over 2-5 days.

Thanks @argon18bike for getting me involved and @marc_olivier_hardy for hosting me.

Another great #ExploreYourBoundaries film is now live – link in my Instabio.

Where will we go next… maybe Explore Your Boundaries can start to extend beyond Scotland… there is certainly interest out here in Canada. However, the whole concept is to see the familiar in unfamiliar ways, explore close to home and push your own boundaries mentally and physically.

Great work from @reizkultur to create the media, with support from @tommy.check – and as @jennygrahamis_ points out in the opening clip, all we need to do is ride our bikes, smile and have a great adventure!

Argyll & the Isles really is an incredible adventure playground by bike, foot, boat and lots else. Fond first memories growing up here, before moving to Perthshire.

Thanks to @wildaboutargyll @schwalbetyresuk @calmacferries @ruraldimensions for the support!

Final day edit from #exploreyourboundaries @wildaboutargyll with @jennygrahamis_ and @reizkultur , with filming also from @tommy.check

This ride started in Tarbert, crossed by ferry to @portavadie, along to @tighnabruaichgallery @carryfarm, onto Bute and @mount_stuart and a final shot descending the Serpentine road in Rothesay.

There will be a longer film in the coming months and photography in the coming days. So much great gravel to explore on our doorstep - or worth travelling to if you aren’t in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🚴‍♀️

100 miles and 2100m of climbing around Kintyre in our #exploreyourboundaries filming in Argyll & the Isles. Started at 6am with a ride down Gigha before a full loop to Southend & back to Tarbert. Challenging finish over the Kintyre Way for a late check-in at the Starfish Rooms

Loved dropping in to @torrisdalecastle and catching up with Emma & Neil at @kintyredistillery. Also Frances at @muneroy for the best cakes in the west

Thanks @reizkultur, @tommy.check and @jennygrahamis_ for the creativity and sense of mischief.

More to come as we head to Bute

A one minute highlights film from Monday 11th July by @reizkultur.

Pretty overcast all day and pedalling through the most lush part of Scotland, so perhaps a green jersey wasn’t the wise choice for filming!

Part of the #exploreyourboundaries projects - this time with @wildaboutargyll & @visitscotland - riding also with @jennygrahamis_ and filming also by @tommy.check

107km on todays #exploreyourboundaries in Argyll & the Isles from Cairnbaan, by Lochgilphead to the island of Gigha - I was last here when I was about 4 years old, when my father was the dairyman over at Killean farm.

More road than usual today, but mostly single track & incredibly quiet. Loved pedalling through such history including Kilmory Knap Chapel and St Columbia’s Cave.

Other highlights were the family selling lemon drizzle cake for £1 on the roadside, evidence of beaver dam making and loads of wildlife including red squirrels, seals and deer.

The final photo shows todays route and more details on my @komoot. Various photos by @reizkultur & @tommy.check

Tomorrow is all about exploring Kintyre - can’t wait…

Thanks for support from @visitscotland, @wildaboutargyll & @calmacferries for their support

As always, my setup is @argon18bike Dark Matter rigged with @shimanogravel GRX Di2. #ThisIsMyRide

A windy and often wild week on the Moray coast. It wasn’t beach weather but plenty of family adventures and memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Found some new beaches to run on and new trails to ride, which was a good antidote for RAAM disappointment.

Perhaps I should get back to training soon, but the unstructured fun and a few beers and ice creams have been most welcomed.
