PEdALED joins number of kit makers vying for "adventure" market

Crossing Europe in the Transcontinental Race, professional races with Britain’s oldest team, JLT Condor, and exploring Kyrgyzstan during the first Silk Road mountain - from these experience, PEdALED has gathered up what it has learned and introduced the Odyssey Collection to their growing line up of kit.

Founded in Tokyo, Japan in 2007 by Hideto Suzuki, the Odyssey Collection offers a jacket, bib, jersey, socks and gilet geared specifically for going the distance on epic rides. Full review in a couple weeks.

Cafe du Cycliste, Mason + Hunt launch new race/rally series

From photographer Camille McMillan and borne from a lifetime of preoccupation with bike racing and riding comes Further - a new adventure race/rally ride in late August.

A combination of a mixed-surface race and a social rally in the Ariège area of south-west France, the ride combines adventure and endurance riders with others searching a new perspective on the sport.

Racing is by invite only but it is not a closed shop. The rally, on the other hand, is open to all and just requires a sign-up on the Further website so numbers can be catered for and pre-rally news can be delivered.

Together with Mason Cycles and Hunt Wheels, Café du Cycliste is sponsoring the event. Further into the world of adventure cycling, further into the Pyrenees, further into the culture of cycling. More details at https://frthr.co/.
