Cycling is my way of life. Special feeling of freedom and new energy! My mental spa. 😊 Escaping the daily routine, and daring to go explore. I love cycling. With 60 years of road cycling and over 150,000 miles in legs it's safe to say I am the happiest when on the bike whatever the weather. I ride every day.

Not yet... but when I win this giveaway I will! 🙂 What really matters is riding your bike with passion and sharing that experience with others. Finding inspiration in the details and feeling peace in the neverending horizon. So much to take in, so much left to explore. Cycling has a massive positive impact on my life and I will never take that for granted. Cycling is freedom.

Recently I made few rides introductions with my little son and it’s literally super excited about biking, winning will keep the wiggle legacy going for the future riders enjoying the epic landscape and quality kit

Bikepacking with wiggle buddle makes me giggle! Gib me, gib me, gib me!

I will be humble, but I really do need that bundle - I am new to this gravel riding, so to win would be absolutely blinding - years ago I did some cyclo-cross racing, but it’s these new gravel bikes the world is now chasing!! Now give me that bundle, So I can go for a tumble 🤣

Ooooh Jimmy that was a pleasure to read! 🍀

Literally couldn't think of anything better than a day out cycling and camping over night. Literally my dream adventure!!

I'm 61, Autistic, and Ive got cancer. But cycling keeps me going. Cycling roots me in the moment, so i forget problems and enjoy life. Thats why cycling is so effin brilliant!

My wife and I would love this. Found a love for cycling, and taking in the views, countryside. It be a perfect get away for us

I have only been in the UK for 2 years now and have fallen in love with cycling here! It's a great sport and the cycling community here is amazing. Along the way I've bought all that I can from wiggle! Wiggle is amazing with great prices and almost anything you would need on one site I've only cycled on roads so far but I have been dying for the right kit to go for gravel. Having this giveaway would be just what I need for proper adventures in the UK!

I rediscovered cycling a few years ago and this time I totally fell in love with it. I believe cycling is the best way to explore nature. Bikepacking is something that everyone should try. To begin with you don't need all the fancy gear. Just a bike, a backpack with necessities and then off you go. Winning this kit would be amazing and would help me go out on longer trips 🚵🏻

South Downs Way more like topless legends way! That dude is the bikepacking vibe! I would love some bike kit!

A haiku about gravel: He's wearing white socks Steaming down the dusty downs A topless legend.

I've never done any kind of physical activity in my life. I most hated the sport and physical education class when at school. I had high blood pressure. Then, on Earth Day a few years ago I decided to commute to work by bike, for no particular reason. And a few years later I sold my unused car. I had to go to the hospital a few weeks ago for an exam, and had the health monitor plugged in. The stupid thing kept beeping loudly, alarming the nurse several times. She would come running, push a button to quiet the monitor and leave only to come back again. "Is there something wrong?" I asked, worried. "Your heart beat is too low, in the 40's. You must be very athletic." she replied. "Oh." But on a side note this video has reminded me again of how fun cycling is.

Purple gravel shoes. Really🤭 Green all the way for me. Gravel riding is all about the people you ride with and you guys certainly showed that. A mixture of fun, companionship and grit all makes for an epic ride memory. The South Downs Way is now on my list of rides to do. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video, looked an amazing adventure. Would love to do this. The green shoes look the biz and kit is fantastic. Look forward to seeing another adventure.

Wheyyyy we'd love to see that!

This has been on my 'bucket list' of challenging rides for a while now, just my lack of decent equipment has been holding me back. Watching this and reading your blog has reignited my desire to tackle this sooner rather than later. Great content!

With two young kids, its days out on adventures like this that keep me sane!

That's like the most perfectly equipped trip ever! Beautiful. I'm crying tears of gravel here! x

Great video! I would totally share all of this stuff with my wife on our future bikepacking trips. :)

Great video: very inspiring and beautifully presented. I loved the informal tyre repair! I can't wait to get out there on my bike.

Adventure riding is where its at - and UK has it all. Getting out and riding it whatever, where ever , happy days 🙌

Purple a definate winner with respect to the Terra Atlas happy feet moves, but khaky green certainly a great choice if there's any risk of putting a foot down in a cow pat😉. Hope your booboo healed quickly. I've only attempt bike packing the once on perhaps the windiest wetist weekend last year. Restored a 25 year old bike, as this was the only frame with rack mounts. Packed way to heavily, chain broke three times, rack snapped during the outward ride but still had one of the greatest experience on a bike. With appropriate equipment my wife an I plan to venture out on many multi day bike packing adventures. Hope you both share many two wheel adventures. Thanks for the fun video.

Loving the detail and honesty. The oozing and bulging from the damaged tyres...reminds me of the Japanese insect wars. Great stuff and commentary

Love the vid!! Currently in Kygrystan on the tian shan traverse route on my first proper tour with let's say a cheap makeshift set up which is being put through its paces (and failing, all part of the fun!) I brought a tarp instead of a tent, interesting to say the least! Fair to say I jumped in at the deepend! Happy to share more info/ pics/ route etc!! Happy bikepacking all

Sounds like a MEGA trip Billy. Hope it all goes to plan 🍀

I would love all this awesome kit because my 6 year old son is a nascent cyclist and I really want to teach him the beauty of traveling on two wheels, going long distances off the beaten track under one's own steam and kipping out under the stars.

Great ride. Green shoes evey time :)

Very inspiring video! Thank you guys! Having our little 1.5 years old boy, we now want to start bikepacking with him and going on adventures.

I need to win this ultimate bundle. WOW!!, The khaki colour shoes are the nicest, all that kit looks immense. 💜💜💜, camping gear as well 🙌🏽.

What a great watch! Found this really inspiring and got those creative, exploring juices flowing again! All I need to do now is get Wiggle on, get on the bike and head out for an epic adventure!

Being able to leave work and cycle around the Highlands everyday is the dream and having the bike and equipment to get off the roads and onto the trails would make it.

Guys, solid ride! I love the vibes of this short video. :) But the tent literally blew my mind away. I mean I usually do not carry one as they tend to be pretty heavy. But having one at the weight of full water bottle? Insane. This could spare me of sleeping under the bridges as i usually do when bikepacking. Or tractor trailer :D

The first time I tried bikepacking I hadn't ridden a bike for about 5 years (and never off-road). I rode my friend's wife's mountain bike that didn't fit properly (I'm a man), used some dry bags clumsily strapped to a front and rear rack, and had to borrow some stem and bar bags. We set off on the King Alfred's Way, and 20 miles into the first day I went over the handle bars on a descent and broke 2 ribs. I finished out that day and then limped to the nearest train station the next day to go home early. As soon as I got home I ordered a gravel bike, not to be deterred. I've done one bikepacking trip since, all borrowed kit again (but less clumsily packed) and loved every minute of it.

Purple or Green ? Purple or Green? definitely the delicious sage Green Terra Atlas😍 Great footage loved the box tyre fix👏.the only adventure my bike takes me on is to work and back 😢 but some days that can be enough 🚔 looking forward to your next road/gravel trip 🤩

I really want to get into gravel

Fantastic video, I'll replay it when I'm freezing in winter. Freedom on a bike. Everyday is a gravel day in North Yorkshire! Love the kit, like the green shoes too. can't wait for next adventure.

I would like to win this wonderful bundle because that Kiss My Attitude song in the video was interrupted by a tough mudder advert which features the same song, only to switch back to your video where the song naturally continued. That's more chorus than anyone needs to hear. This bundle will help sooth those wounds so I can crack on with my next coast to coast cycle tour. Many thanks.

I was lucky enough to have lived in Tuscany for a couple of years with my bike and enjoyed many multi-day adventures - Florence to Nice over 6 days, Via Francigena from Lucca to Rome over 5 days, l'Eroica over 3 days, Pisa to Grossetto along the coast in 5 days...so many day and overnight trips too. All amazing. Want to go back! Have done parts of the south downs way and want to explore more around here. But, on all of my adventures so far, all my accommodations were airbnb's and pubs etc... I haven't had the guts to try camping with my bike yet. This video (& GCN's Morocco trip) have been inspiring me to take the plunge and plan to do this. It will certainly add a new dimension to my bike adventures. Thanks for the fun vid.

Awesome video. Inspiring to give it a go. Looks like a great route!!

I have just watched your video - it's so powerful! I love riding a bike but now I feel like doing it more extreme...I wish I had the equipment you are talking about 😊. Great work guys! Thanks 🙏

Keep going! Amazing footage and a great trip as it should be……including all that comes with it🙂….hard work, enjoyment, passion, pain, slips/trips and falls, fun, craziness 😉. Just get the bike, get ready and tackle whatever comes. Life on a bike is simply gorgeous!

As a road purist, this is exactly what I would need to embrace gravel cycling - a potential road to Damascus moment!

Have walked parts of the South Downs Way many times and always been jealous of the bikes whizzing past me, having so much fun. Time to join them methinks🚴🏼‍♀😀

I so want to go on an adventure like this, awesome riding and scenery. Winning this kit would go a long way to making that possible.

Great vid. Totally change my vision on how to bike packing! Making dream a reality, I finally jumped deep and bought the bike and now just need the gear to bag my first bike packing adventure!! 🙏

Awesome video and unforgettable adventure .......specialy how you managed to ride with such huge hole in your tire. Winning this kit would massively help on my bikepacking trip around Europe

This is THE adventure I am craving! Looks super fun, although that heat 🥵

I just got my gravel bike and it has been a great experience. Being able to connect with nature has help me relax and appreciate nature in a different way. Bike packing would take it to a different level. I would love to try.

Awesome, accessible adventures. Gravel is the way to go.

This looks amazing. What’s not to like, sunshine, country side, new views and all the equipment to try a gravel holiday. Not so green as Co Down … but that’s because it’s always raining here at home. Good swap…Downto the Downes. Yes please 😊

new arrival in the south downs, gravel bike locked and loaded and gradually exploring more of this awesome landscape! was honoured to grab a fearless warlock from a small brighton-based company and would love to do its name justice with all the gear when voyaging out on this rite of passage meself! weyooooooo

Love the sounds and sights of summer.

Great review and really timely - doing this soon and trying to choose tyres ..... Hmm - won't be choosing those! Thank you!

Gravel Inspiration! What an awesome ride, ignoring the cow splat and inferno heat of course! Brilliant to see what you packed on the bikes and were wearing (other than the purple shoes, no thank you…). Looking forward to seeing another adventure and inspired to get on my own! Thanks

Lovely inspiration even more so being on the road to recovery and done one mini adventure this year looking forward to many more once I'm fighting fit

I deserve this prize bundle because multiday bike packing is on my list of objectives for the summer of 2023. I am planning to ride from the mountains of the north to the open plains of the south along the gravel routes of this beautiful country. I always wanted to discover more of Portugal and so this prize bundle will allow me to get to know my country better whilst cycling. Crossing the country from one end to the other via the interior of Portugal along gravel routes will be a superb way, for me, to explore and discover new landscapes, push my limits on the bike, open myself to new sensory experiences and meet new people. Also, Awesome video showcasing the potential of the products on offer! I will be very grateful to have this quality kit!

Coffee time let's let's plan a south downs way day with my brother for next year it'll be awesome fun, and relaxing scenery thank you for the great video

I haven't tried Bike packing, but after watching this I'm feeling inspired! I'm on the South Downs trail, so there is no excuse...and well, why should you guys have all the fun falling off. 😂 Winning this kit would be my gateway to a whole load of fun! I'm amazed at how compact the gear is! 🤩

Amazing route (definitely on my to do list now), and great video to showcase the fun and freedom of bikepacking. I got into cycling last year just before the first lockdown, when I cycled from London to Paris. Absolutely loved it, though was admittedly naïve in packing very minimal kit I'd picked up from Wiggle. Safe to say I made sure to pack some waterproofs for the next big ride! Such a great way to keep fit, de-stress and explore the countryside. Hoping to go bikepacking from Land's End to John O'Groats next year!

So interest with this gravel finishing kit.

Finally a cycling vid with decent music. That looked fun and I'm feeling inspired! 😁

The SDW is amazing, great time, views etc to be had. Gravel bikes rule & your set ups look pretty spot on. Enjoyed the video & reminders of my ride very recently. Might have to add a shovel to the prize tho as lots of cow, sheep & horse doings around the trails. Gravel rules🤘🏻

It's a quality trail! haha a Sh*t shovel would have been the perfect item! Good Luck 🍀

What an amazing route, something I will be adding to my to do list! I have done a few touring trips on my bike all of which have been using what I would call a sail (not one that helps either) but what others would call panniers. My kit, not for the want of trying, is quite voluminous to say the least as such panniers are the only way forward for me. I would love to venture more to the gravel world and travel a little faster with bike packing bags and am gradually upgrading my kit. Happy riding everyone!

Looks a mega ride. Would love the stash as I've certainly used up all the bike allowances from the other half this year and would love a few trips away powered only by the pedals. Keep up the great work.

Great Video :), normally 1 spend my Time on the South Downs way running ultras or relays such a amazing route. Having taken up Riding (currently mainly road) this completion would be a great way to kick start my adventures of the trails, if I win id love to recreate this adventure maybe id even do it over a school holiday with my daughter, just what we would need after starting school this year. keep up the videos and comps

looks great , looking forward to finding some great places in Scotland just at a very much slower pace

Fantastic. I'd love that kit to push me out of my comfort zone, and finally try some real bike-packing.

Thanks for making this fab video - great route and fun and honest video. I’d love to have a go at the SDW :-) Bought a vitus earlier this year and have had brilliant gravel adventures including a big chunk of the Pennine bridleway. I don’t have much kit so carrying things has been tricky - my current set up is more tramp’s trolley than bike packer so this prize would be AWESOME!

Great video, and a cracking bundle to get you started

I loved this video and I took some inspiration to get out on a bike packing trip. I got into cycling 2 yrs ago and having a heart condition and arthritis it has enabled me to keep fit without putting extra stress on my 2 conditions. Cycling keeps me out of trouble and I encourage all my friends to join me in the sport instead of going to the pub. Although a little pub after a ride is always acceptable 😉. This package would help me to kit myself out for my first bike packing experience as with the old cost of living crisis its too dang expensive.

And they paid you to do this? Some folk have all the luck. This was a great watch. You'll remember that ride, during the long hot summer of 2022, for the rest of your days.

Well that settles it! When I finally open my own cycle cafe it will be called The Dusty Bike and as soon as I've completed my northerners in southern England quarantine, I'm doing the South Down Way. What a great video. I loved the smiles and the laughs. I don't think I've smiled as much since I figured out why Norwegian warships have a barcode on the side - is so when they come into port, they can Scandinavian. First the SDW, next stop TCR.

Nearly died after a rock climbing accident. After 3 years in recovery Gravel riding has got me back to exploring and loving life. South Downs is definitely on the list. Thanks for the amazing video!!!

Rode this a few weeks ago, was ace fun. I definitely need a kit upgrade though, holes in everything 🤣

No but thinking of doing it next year, nothing better than exploring on a bike I think in the fresh air great stuff!😁

Excellent video, dynamic & fun !!! What a good bikepacking and equipement, very very inspiracing for me because my bike was stolent recently while i was preparing my bikepacking T_T ! Many thanks, Hats down to you. Love from France.

I love to ride the South Downs Way its looks a truly fabulous experience I've never been on a gravel bike before and I'm 50yrs old on 22nd so this prize would be a lovely birthday present 🎁

What a brilliant film! All my gravel adventures have been on my hardtail MTB, so this film is an inspiration! What a great bundle for the lucky winner too. I reckon that kit would be really useful converting my MTB into a gravel bike too! It’s the only way it’s going to get as much use as my road bike! It needs those funky carbon bars… and the rest of the bundle, so I can go Wiggling through the wilderness of the Wye valley and beyond!

Love the video, close to my usual home in West Sussex. Currently in the world's best gravel destination for two years - Tasmania! The kit would complement the awesome value Vitus Substance I bought from you guys a few months ago....photo ops galore!

I have done a few bike packs and absolutely love it! Toured the Finnish archipelago(with trailer), 800km Covid tour in Germany(with trailer), Stuttgart to Zurich (with trailer) and Stuttgart to Lake Constance. To win this giveaway bundle would certainly reduce the need for the trailer - travel light, travel long travel further!

Loved the video and really like the green shoes best! I spend so much time keeping others wheels on the gravel that "my time" gets neglected. Been only one night bikepacking so far the South Downs Way looks like a trip on my to-do list! Happy cycling.

I did this about 15 years ago, with little or no prep, a rough idea of the route and a OS map. Found a pub which hosted us (pre-airbnb). Took us 2 days... these friends are now dispersed throughout the world but what a reunion it would be to win, and do this again. Slightly wiser ? More worldly? Unlikely, but friendships recemented.

Tried bike packing on a road bike a few weeks ago & loved it. Just need a gravel bike setup now so I can explore all over! South Downs way is on the bucket list after watching this, along with a whole other load of trails in the uk and abroad

Good to see you captured the number plate of the close drive by

Great video - South Downs Way looks like a beauty to ride!

Been bikepacking and bivvying for years and love it 😀

You’ve made it look so fun! I love how judgemental the cows are and the savage little dig at the decathlon bottle holder 😂 I’d love to bike pack from outer London back to see family in Oxfordshire - nothing beats riding in golden hour sunshine!

I was suckered in by the 'random topless people' I stayed for the big skidzz! Great vid 🤙

Great video, I'm surprised that tyre lasted as long as it did. Getting out on my bike is the prefect remedy for working long nightshifts in the NHS. Top tip for long hot summer days, I always take powdered water.

The SDW is an epic, beautiful and surprisingly brutal ride. Would love that ultralight tent and purple shoes for the win👌

This is a great video selling bike packing trips. It inspires me to have a go. If I had all the gear and no idea I would still have a great time

Life is an adventure sometimes and this would certainly be an adventure. With the right kit and support from wriggle why would you not want to complete this adventure. It would be epic 💜

Cracking video! Had two short bike packing trips over the past couple years, first on the NC500 and the second a loop around the Cairngorms. Unfortunately, on the second occasion a spoke in my rear wheel snapped and buckled the wheel within the first 15 miles... 😩 Too much power (nothing to do it my big ass!). Thankfully it didn't stop the ride and after slowly limping 20 miles to the closest bike shop, I was allowed to borrow an old spare wheel to continue the journey!! Love the freedom and relaxation of bikepacking and need to get out there more!!

Gravel bikes are such a good way to get you out in wherever you live! I have been using my backpacking kit for bikepacking, and it works great, but that tent you were using would save me sooo much space!
