For anyone currently sitting in the northern hemisphere, it’s probably winter outside your window, which means cold temperatures and wet trails. We thought that for this week’s #filmfriday extravaganza we should offer up some sunshine and some inspiration.  https://www.gravelunion.cc/article/badlands-filmfriday

Back in August, world record breaking expedition cyclist Mark Beaumont took on the GBDuro – a 2000km bikepacking race up the length of the UK. The film of his race, with all the drama, excitement and stunning scenery is now ready for its launch to the world.  https://www.gravelunion.cc/article/maiden-race-film-launch

 Serbia Upside Down is the story of eight adventurers from Serbia and Germany who traversed by gravel bike over the most stunning mountain ranges of Western Serbia.

 We sent James The Intrepid out into the cold to try and figure out the best way to make winter riding fun.  https://www.gravelunion.cc/how-to-make-winter-gravel-riding-fun

 If, like Andrew Terker and his wife, you are fortunate enough to call Switzerland your home, then gravel riding from your door looks absolutely stunning. https://www.gravelunion.cc/article/gravel-riding-in-switzerland
