THE CASSETTE MIX: SONGS FOR RIDING AT 2am

CASSETTE MIX #10
You have read what wheels to use for the TCR, but what about something to keep you company in the darkest time of the night? This week's Cassette Mix comes from Josh Ibbett who has sent us over five songs (plus a few bonuses) which keep him rolling through the night. 

READER'S RIDE: Josh's Mason Definition

Mason Definition
We have featured Josh's Mason Definition and three years on make no apology for featuring it again. After dropping a line to Josh only yesterday asking if he could take a photo for this weeks Reader's Ride - no cleaning, no swapping out of different parts, just how it was since the Transcontinental Race (TCR).

TCR WHEEL GUIDE EPIC: THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR OVERLAND JOURNEY

Josh 1
With the first teasers of #TCRNO6 being released and the announcement that registration will soon open, the Hunt inbox has begun to fill up with enquiries about the best possible wheelset to use for the epic adventure. Hunt has a good record in the TCR, with then-Brand Manager Josh Ibbett winning the 2015 edition on our 4Season Disc wheelset. So, who better to explore the best wheel options to take on Europe than the man himself?! Take it away, Josh...

TRANSCONTINENTAL #6 RETURNS FOR 2018

We are so happy to see that this year's TCR entries are now open. If you really lie riding your bike stupid distances, with next to no sleep while eating out of Petrol Stations and 24 hour diners then this is the perfect race for you.

READER'S RIDE | Soma Wolverine

READER'S RIDE | Soma Wolverine

Soma 1

San Fransisco based, Soma Fabrications, get it right. The Wolverine crossed our paths when at Eurobike this year. It was certainly an eye catcher with those bars! Set up with SuperDura Dynamo Disc wheels, we finally managed to get our hands on a few professionally shot photos from the kind people over at Traffic Distribution (Soma's German distributor).

READER'S RIDE: Bombtrack's Audax

Bombtrack 1

Bombtrack bikes are cool. There we said it. Not one to follow the pack and come out with bikes which are high on the fun factor. This new build from Bombtrack might be exactly what you need to compliment long days spent exploring anything which comes your way.

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Hamish Paine

ON THE DROPS INTERVIEW: Hamish Paine

 

Hamo

We haven’t seen much of Hamish over the past two years… mostly due to him being located down under in Wollongong, Australia.

Having worked in a bicycle store since he was 14 after lying about his age to get a start on the wrenches, Hamish now handles media enquiries with us at Hunt, pieces together our weekly Hunt Journal and is the creator of our On The Drops Interviews.

JOSH IBBETT: The Trans Canada Experience

JOSH IBBETT: The Trans Canada Experience

Not much here...

It seems like yesterday that we featured world traveller and long distance cyclist, Josh Ibbett's last blog post. However, he is still out on the road and still heading along his planned route. There have been a few variations and at the time of writing, Josh has been in company with his partner Caroline. Heading south has given him time to reflect on his ride across the interior of Canada.  

This time round, Josh's trip has taken a slight turn. The endless landscapes, which those from Canada, the US and Australia can easily relate too, have challenged the Englishman who is more familiar with geographically condensed Europe/UK. It sounds like the pure openness has taken its toll. And rightly so! But in typical Josh fashion, he had made the best of it and stayed true to his 'experience-the-world' mantra rather than riding for the sake of it.

The USA is big! Flying into to New York for my first ever visit to the United States was certainly an eye opening experience. The streets are bigger, the buildings are bigger, the cars are bigger and the portions are bigger! Flying in after a month in culture filled Spain it certainly was a shock.
