It’s wetter than an otter’s pocket in Leogang this weekend and with the change of schedule, Jackson Goldstone has to navigate a fresh track. You know it’s hard when Jackson makes it look difficult. It’s wet and wild in Leogang for this weekend’s World Cup. VIDEO

Four days, 200 miles, nearly 6,000 metres of climbing, countless bacon sarnies and pints. The MTB Epics Bristol Bath 200 is about seeing new places, meeting new people and occasionally rattling your eyeballs loose on a rocky descent. Words and blurry photos by Jamie Edwards. 18-year-old me would be so disappointed! I used to spend my weekends razzing around on downhill bikes. Steep tracks, long-travel bikes, full-face helmets. Things have really taken a turn. Last weekend I rode my bike 200 miles.
