The heterogeneity of my favourite bits of kit in my first year at BikeRadar reflects a varied year on the bike.<\/p>\n

It started with the L\u00f4n Geltaidd (Celtic Trail) bikepacking<\/a> trip, out and back, east to west across Wales.<\/p>\n

It ended in delirious exhaustion on top of the Old Shoe in Llangollen, north Wales, at the 2022 UK National Hill Climb Championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In between, I was training for and completed the 297km Dragon Devil sportive, again in Wales (I do ride elsewhere, honest), and headed to the high mountains of Switzerland for the Haute Route Davos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, my picks are a mix of practical and performance items in keeping with my dilettantish approach to cycling.<\/p>\n
