There's plenty of organised rides to get involved in right now. We've been talking to the guys at Ride & Seek about the Berry Challenge, a ride set is simply stunning country that provides the opportunity to get together with some mates and choose your own adventure.

When the email landed telling me that Shimano was hosting weekend experience with Soigneur and I had been invited, my excitement levels went into overdrive.

To say it was an ‘experience’ is an understatement. Beautiful scenery, awesome riding and great company were just the beginning.
