They use a square hitch, there’s two sizes here – I think it’s 2″ and 1.5″. This is the smaller of the two, and basically the rack just slots into a hole in the hitch, which is mounted to the bottom of the car.

Yakima, Thule, Sportrack and a bunch of others make the racks, but I think the mounts are the problem in the UK – it may be because the rack is really just held on by one bolt, unlike the ball mount type.

Nah, that’s not on their official trip list, yet.

The way he just rips through it without a care for the huge exposure and gaping holes in the trail is pretty impressive.

I’m up for the Andes mission, which is probably erm… about the same.

Is that what you’re planning on doing WA? With your track record you’re doomed!

That looks a neat solution. I take it it uses a tow bar mount? Who produces them?

I had one of those till someone drove into the back of my car…

Pretty effective if you don’t mind bikes on the outside of a car.

My forward foot switches with whatever side turn I just came out of. BOGOF!

Gloop. There’s a lot of things about the Shore that make it challenging but with the rockwork trail building and the steepness – deep shitty mud that clogs your wheels isn’t one of them.

A bar mount would be good too, but maybe even excessive.

I’m hooked again.

I agree with bar plus helmet. Perfect combo
