A big shout out to my crew - this selection of photos by @leepcollier

RAAM is a huge team effort of performance, logistics and media.

This lot have throw their all at this GCN project with great humour and character. Thanks one and all.

Also to the roadside support from all the other RAAM crews as I pedalled solo.

Photos 2 onwards show the devastating moments on Friday evening when Jon and his support team all tested positive for Covid.

Realisation that our pairs relay record attempt was over is etched on everyone’s faces.

The leading photograph is Saturday morning as I ride out to start solo, knowing we weren’t set up for the entire crossing, but willing to make the most of a bad situation.

Thank you @globalcyclingnetwork and still plenty to look forwards to on GCN+

After a year of training and preparation, I’ve taken a few days off social media to reflect. Absolutely gutted to be honest. But that’s sport. I just never thought the wheels could come off before we started!

Thanks to @argon18bike for the amazing support. Looking forwards to putting this fitness to good use soon on some other endurance races.

Pretty gruelling ride through the night for Mark, managed a 20min sleep at around 2:30am. The sunrise in Arizona certainly helped to lift the spirits though.

Here is a quick look at some of the kit I’m currently packing for @raceacrossamerica

Worth noting that most of these are not official sponsors & so not GCN relationships - they are simply choices I have made to optimise performance - thought this info would be of interest to some followers.

Day three of our Explore Your Boundaries adventure in Argyll & the Isles took us around Mull - on exactly the right mix of gravel & tarmac.

Here’s a short clip to inspire your own adventure

Scotlands Adventure Coast. A deserved title. Quick stop en route home in Tyndrum for a fish supper reflecting on a super 3 days exploring gravel across Argyll and the Isles. More to come in terms of images and edits from @reizkultur

Thanks to @ruraldimensions for pulling this project together with @wildaboutargyll and @visitscotland - also @exploreislayandjura and @visitmullandiona

Next trip is with @jennygrahamis_ so more to look forwards to

Exploring gravel routes on Mull with @reizkultur - Scotlands 2nd largest island and it feels like we have the trails to ourselves. The plan was to head to Coll & Tiree, but despite the blistering ☀️, high winds mean small boat crossings are off, leaving us more time to film routes over the west of Mull and on to Salen. Happy Sunday to you all.

Also, great to meet @handbikepacking - give that man a follow!

Day 2 of #ExploreYourBoundaries Argyll & the Isles. Islay and Mull. Whisky and gravel - 2 of my favourite things. Finding some new routes, like the newly made track from Craigmure, and some old favourites like the always muddy forest loop to @bunnahabhaindistillery

Filming and editing by @reizkultur - a few shots by yours truly. Exploring and filming with the support of @wildaboutargyll, @visitscotland and @calmacferries
