  • Today I would be taking a step back from being on the trails as I had the privilege of attending the start of the Headstock 500, a 500km bikepacking event around Wales, starting at the Tiny Rebel Brewery in Rogerstone. This challenging route is one I know all too well, as I was the first person to ride it back in August. This was my day at the headstock 500 bikepacking event, meeting the riders and checking out the event.

    Great video 👏 my dad did it but only got 140 miles in as he got a eye infection trying to get his contact lens out! He said it was tough cycling but fun

      Hi Riley, I was chatting to your dad before the ride, gutted for him it's a tough old ride though so fair play getting as far as he did. Good luck with your channel, keep doing what you are doing 🚵🚵🚵

      You would have to recharge on route but I don't think motorcycles are welcome at this event.

      I don't think actual legal e-bikes are specifically banned from the event. It's not a race after all. But it would be hard to ride this on a e-bike with the need to charge it, and the route being remote, away from anywhere practical to charge it.
