Transmission #2 already. What's new? Well you're going to find out here...

Back in the summer, Slovenian bikepacker Neža Peterca (with Cass Gilbert ) headed out on the epic Peak 200. Conditions were as you'd expect but they came back with some amazing photos from the tour. If you're local, or even if you aren't, it's a fantastic ride to complete in 24 hrs - or make a weekend of it and camp out.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. The four pieces from Damian Hurst at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park will do just that. By pure coincidence, Paul, Darren & Richard all went to the park on the same weekend recently. If you've never been to the YSP then put it at the top of your list. A jewel of the Yorkshire / global art scene.

The eagle eyed might have already seen our newest Ambassador; Britains most successful climber ever, future Olympian and all-round top person, Shauna Coxsey! She'll be getting the winter training miles in on her very posh Escapade build. Supported by Hunt wheels, WTB and Shimano Gravel.

Hannah, our dispatch don pointed out that we should watch 'The Moment' as it's the best documentary about Freeriding in BC that you're likely to see. We couldn't believe we hadn't seen it already! Even if this isn't your scene, you're going to get psyched to go ride something steep and tech.

The clocks changing is a time for celebration in Sheffield; it means we can get back to the serious business of Dual Racing! An institution for the winter months - watch the film and you'll see why. #dualrules

Here's an album that Sam plays every single time he hits the road en-route to a demo; "Build a Tower" by The Slow Readers Club. He says they're awesome live too if you get a chance to catch them on tour.
