Racing from low tide to low tide puts a unique spin on XC racing and with a course that takes in singletrack, forest roads and the beautiful beach of Pembry Country Park, this is sure to be a six hour race you'll remember for the good times!

We were in for a real treat when marching the floors with the UK based Cycle Show, with some brands missing from Eurobike last month there was still lots to see. We went on a mission to find the newest bikes that have been released this year and get up close for all the details.

Buying clothing produced by bike manufacturers can be a bit hit and miss as bike brands diversify into fields that may not necessarily lie in their area of expertise. It's safe to say that is not the case with this Women's Andorra Drirelease Merino Jersey from Specialized, it's become my autumn go to jersey for riding and casual wear.

2018 bikes are starting to hit the ground now and although this Rift Zone from Marin isn't available until December this year, we've been lucky enough to get one in nice and early for test - will this 29er make a great UK trail bike?

Go Pro today announced the release of the new Hero 6 and new Fusion cam, a 360 degrees spherical camera. Updates include doubled processing power compared to previous models, better image stabilisation and faster transfer speeds to smartphones.
