Riding with Boundsy!

Chris from Adventure-Spec took a break from the office to spend the weekend being shown around South Wales by Dakar competitor Craig Bounds.

Craig’s vast knowledge of the areas track and trails led to two days of spectacular and challenging riding. The group including Mark from G-iT and Dom from Kriega left exhausted but satisfied they’d experienced some of the finest trail riding the UK has to offer.

Adventure-Spec will be offering riding and training days with Craig in the near future. Small groups and personalised itineraries are the order of the day. If you’re interested drop us a line for more details

Adventure-Spec Dakar bound for 2010

It’s heading rapidly towards the time of year known mainly around the world for one thing…Dakar 2010! We were delighted to see two finishers out of three sponsored riders last year.

Dakar 2009 was an excellent opportunity for  Adventure-Spec to test a new Rally/Adventure clothing range to be launched early in 2010. This year we are supporting only a single rider but will continue to use the event as a test bed for upcoming clothing designs, tool ideas, and hardware modifications. We figure if it lasts the Dakar then we KNOW its Adventure-Spec.

Keep looking here as the start date looms for more info on Craig Bounds, Dakar Competitor 2010.
