SPIN-UP IN A BREWERY IS BACK!
After taking a short break since the last event in 2015, “Spin Up in a Brewery” is back by popular demand! Established in 2012, it is again a collaboration between two West Sussex based companies, the craft brewery Dark Star and bicycle brand Kinesis UK. Spin Up in a Brewery brings together Bikes, Beer and BBQ for a day of fun at the Dark Star.
Everyone is invited to either just come along and soak-up the fun with like-minded people or for those that want to take part to win great prizes they can compete in static bike racing knock-out rounds throughout the day with grand final winners crowned at the end of the afternoon.

READER'S RIDE: KURT'S BMC ROAD MACHINE DISC
Over the past few weeks, we have been featuring a few "dream builds" on our Instagram Story. Whether you have an entry-level machine or a stable full of top end bikes, these are rides which make the eagle-eyed cyclist turn their head. And one thing is for certain - Kurt's BMC is a part of this "dream build" club.
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 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 #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 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: 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.
