This was such a great day! Thanks to Valerio and the team for putting on such a well organised event. I had planned to do this over 2 days but due to Joe dropping out to go hiking instead, it meant I was in a better position to smash the ride out in a single day and not take a fully loaded bike out on the route.
The Tor Divide is a non-competitive, self-supported bikepacking adventure that challenges riders to tackle trails, bridleways, and scenic roads on a fixed route.
Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or new to the world of bikepacking, this event offers three route options to suit your style. No prizes—just the thrill of the ride, the freedom of the open trail, and the glory of finishing on your own terms.

Nice going mate, well done 🚴
Mate, you should look into ditching the carbs and going ketogenic. Im a carnivore cyclist. No more bonking and no need to constantly ram carbs down my throat. Steady energy without the crashes. Using the bodies preferred energy. Besides, you're in danger of acquiring DT2 if you keep spiking your blood sugar. It's not healthy in the long term. I regularly cycle my first 25 miles in a fasted state. All the best:)
Great to see the ride through your eyes, always fancied doing it
Thanks for the video, great effort! Some tough "gravel" in the peaks 😁
