Inspiration for adventures to come
A year ago, Wahoo set out to put together a short film about four adventure-seeking riders in the UK as they rode the historic South Downs Way Trail. The film was shot by George Marshall and the riders were Liam Yates, Sophie Edmonson, Anna Mcleod, and Neil Phillips. The voice-over and intro feature the legendary Sean Yates, who spent many years training in the area during his racing years. Pretty cool.
The full route from Winchester to Eastbourne is over 100 miles of chalk path & ancient roads, with 3500m of elevation gain along the way. For the past 8000 years, the trail has served a number of purposes, but was namely a way of linking fortresses and settlements along the UK’s southernmost edge, with many serving as the first response to incoming invasions during wartime. Today the South Downs Way is protected by National Trail status and is open to cyclists and hikers. Happy Thursday. More new content coming on the site tomorrow.
