I‘m not sure if it’s since COVID and all the lockdowns and I’ve just had more time to notice, but there seems to be an ever-expanding number of adventure-bike tour groups around.

Although I like to think Dave and I just ‘wing it’ and go where the roads take us, the truth is, most of the time that involves Dave doing a whole lot of map reading, online research and talking to people to find the best hidden tracks and places to see. There was an instance where we’d get to a road junction and toss an imaginary coin to decide the direction we would take. This might occasionally lead to some hidden gem, but, more than likely, it’ll need a bit of preplanning to get the best from a ride. If you don’t have time to plan it all yourself, there’s plenty of options, both paid and social, to try.
