• Ben Page – Chile’s Route 7

  

  Patagonia

  The next chapter of Ben Page’s Round the World bicycle adventure begins at at the bottom of the Chile’s Route 7. Now seen as a bike touring paradise, this road, known as the Carretera Austral, was the project of Chilean dictator General Augustus Pinochet and was primarily constructed  to connect remote settlements in the south of Chile whilst providing military access to the region.  It comprises over 1200km of narrow gravel road that snakes its way northwards through forests, over passes, and past snow covered mountains.

  Read Ben’s next  Journal Entry here ; another great instalment in a magical adventure, the last chapter with friends before heading north now truly going solo!

Coupled with 140mm of gimmick-free suspension action, this is a bike that takes the fight to the ups and the downs.

• ADVANCE NOTICE: Early Closing Time

  

  Attention Late Night Shoppers!

  We’d like to apologise to anyone who was planning to take  advantage of our late night opening next Thursday.

  Next Thursday 29th January, the she shop is closing at midday. Obviously this is because of a very important cycling meeting that is unavoidable…Either that or we’ve arranged our slightly belated Christmas Do, and rather than a slap up Christmas Dinner, we’ve opted to head off Go Karting to Colne where we’ve entered the Iron Man, a gruelling battle to the finish line…

  Don’t worry though, injuries permitting we’ll be open as usual on Friday 30th at 10 am. For all enquiries about driver odds and requests for signed photos of the winner feel free to contact the shop.
