On this weeks podcast we chat to @adampalin , an experienced ultra racer with a number of excellent results to his name. We discuss his killer mindset, training and discuss a few ābikepacking basicsā- a segment that will return weekly where we answer questions that help you on your journey in the sport of bikepacking. Enjoy! š
@bespoked.cc London. A weekend all about bikes and the super cool creatives in the industry.
@tailfincycling team were in full swing alongside @albion.cycling who were repairing kit. Thanks for bringing my Zoa Pants back to life.
Lovely to see @quirkcycles and speak to many other brands about new projects and products on the horizon. Time to catch up on lots of sleep.

Dales Divide - 4th place. Arnside to Scarborough and back. Storm Dave came to the party in the final hours bringing strong winds and rain. The final sprint finish while tilting the bike sideways was spicy.
It was super fun racing and a pleasure to ride with many good friends. A special mention to all the trail angels along route. Either coming out to cheer riders on or leaving food caches of cake and coke for us to enjoy. It was much appreciated ā¤ļø.

Adamās bike check after Dales Divide 2026.
Storm Dave from Scotland š“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ made some adjustments in race plan, but Adam pushed through and came 4th.
The setup is ready for Dales Divide this weekend. 600km of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors awaits.
I last did this race in 2023. It was this bikeās maiden voyage so itās exciting to be back on the same stead.

The āpoor manāsā training camp. One week at home, riding long hours and eating 5500 calories a day.
Idea was to sleep in my own bed, eat my usual food and not fly anywhere to reduce stress and time away. The main focus was on fuelling and recovery to maximise the adaptations. No fasted or low carb rides here or ever.
Highlight of the week was taking my gloves off for the first time this year š.

Hereās to 2025. Lotās to be grateful for this year. Iāve achieved what I set out to do while learning to prioritise other aspects of my life worth building.
Sport isnāt everything. Longevity is.
