Singular Events
I periodically host events based at the Nest at the end of the Chiltern Hills near Dunstable, just north of London. Typically we get out for a ride in the morning then some great home cooked (by me) food and a few drinks in the afternoon.

Chilicross is coming!
The world's greatest bike event that combines 'cross bikes and Mexican food is back for another of its approximately annual occurrences.
It's the weekend of the Cyclocross World Championships so we will have the Jumbotron fired up for watching the racing all day - with the Elite Women starting at 2pm.Otherwise, it's going to be a tried and true combination of bikes, mud and excellent chili.
KITE
The Kite was conceived in the times Before Gravel - as a cyclocross bike with more tyre clearance and a little mellower geometry - which is in essence what became gravel bikes. The very first version, let's call it the Mk1 Fe - launched in 2012 - was a light and lively steel canti braked bike with a straight blade steel fork - one of the smoothest riding bikes I've made. Its successor came in 2016 - still a steel frame, the Mk2 Fe had larger tube profiles, disc brakes and a painted-to-match carbon fork. It had a stiffer and more sporty feel than the original, which foreshadowed what was to come.
When Singular re-launched in 2019 - custom titanium versions of the Kite were the among the first things we did. These mimicked the geometry of the steel frames, but rendered them in that most vaunted frame material - Titanium.
The current Kites take this evolution further, with the use of additive manufacturing technology to create a beautiful, unique and functional modern gravel bike for a lifetime of riding.
PEREGRINE
A classic silhouette for a modern gravel bike - full 29" tyres, the finest steel tubing and all the fittings you need whether touring or commuting.
GRYPHON
Originally released in 2008, the Gryphon was among the first production drop-bar frames with 29" tyre clearance and disc brakes designed for off-road use.
SWIFT
Just a simple steel mountain bike. That simplicity means flexibility, versatility and user-serviceability. Whether set up for fast blasts around local trails or long bikepacking epics - the Swift excels.
