This year it's running a whole month later: 19th - 22nd November. Racing in the Highlands in November. Yikes. This year, we will be racing in memory of Max Riese - last year's winner and an icon in the ultra-racing community. I only met Max a handful of times, but his smile was infectious and his devotion towards inclusivity in the sport unwavering.

'Yeah, sure, that looked cool! But...what's next?' Well - I'm glad you asked! I'm currently planning for 2027 which is already shaping up to be a pretty huge year. My main focus is in the planning of my Spring trip around the UK. I aim to spend 2 months on the road - riding from Land's End to John O' Groats but doing it in a very indirect way, to maximise the number of places I visit and fix bikes...]]></description><link>https://www.thevelosociety.org/post/what-happen-s-next</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aacf276d351bc6bc516e2fc</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2026 08:12:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c5be62_8421e234f36644fdab6c65a6ad704cb0~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>thevelosociety</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Project Happy Bike 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[And just like that...Project Happy Bike is over! The idea for this project came about during my experience on the 2025 edition of the Silk Road Mountain Race.
