Bikepacking Gear
We wanted to test a rucksack that would be suitable for long days on the bike and carrying a rucksack, and lo and behold the @evocsports Ride series was released about the same time.
Check out our review of this incredibly robust and versatile riding backpack at ADVNTR.
Bibs with pockets?! Yep, you heard that right, cargo bib shorts seem to be a hot trend for 20/21 so we're checking them all out in an ADVNTR group test to showcase the very best.
We've got both men's and women's models on test from @castellicycling @alecyclingofficial @enduraofficial @lussobike @iamspecialized @rapha @victorychimps @madison.cycles @sportful @santini_cycling @pearlizumiofficial @7meshinc @decathlon
Phew! Better get those miles in...

Writer's rig: @zetlandcycles' 'Gravel Amateur' is a pretty remarkable steed.
'The biggest swap was the repaint, which I did myself with spray.bike rattlecans in an anaglyph old school 3D red/blue scheme, plus some Cube motifs on the inside of the fork legs and along the top tube. The red/blue theme continues elsewhere with the custom wheelset from @ryanbuildswheels, with a blue front and a red rear hub and red/blue accent nipples at the valve hole.'
Check it out at ADVNTR.

Are nut butters your cuppa tea? We taste tested the new compostable nut butter sachets from @outdoorprovisions on the trail and at camp, experimenting with some unusual and delicious applications courtesy of @drummondphoto...
Head to ADVNTR to check out more about Outdoor Provisions and how we got on with these wee but mighty shots of oomph.

Bikepacking is back on the cards in England, which means we can finally get back to testing the overnighter equipment we've got on review here at ADVNTR. 🎉
Pictured here is the @alpkit Cloud Cover, a hydrophobic goose down quilt that retails at £100 and packs down to about the size of an insulated jacket, in an integrated zipped pocket.
We got this one in on test to see if it could make for a good alternative to synthetic hammock underblankets, packing down smaller without the hefty cost of down underblankets, plus with more versatility too.
Using the draw cords and poppers, I (@katherinebikes) put it to the test last night in temps down to zero and enjoyed a very cosy night indeed. Winner!
Full review in due course, but we're certainly impressed with this handy bit of kit.

Fresh route drop Thursday! We chatted to @mikmonken_cycles who's shared his marvellous knowledge of off-road riding around Macclesfield, a town just to the south of Manchester and bordering the wonderful Peak District National Park.
'Macc is a great place to ride from, there is something different depending on which way you point your compass'.
Check out the full interview and @komoot Collection on ADVNTR.
