The Long & Dirty of it.

Knowing your Adventure Bibs from your Dirty Shorts.

By Black Sheep Cycling

Adventure doesn't discriminate. Mud is mud. But how you tackle it is a very personal passion. That's why, when it comes to Adventure, we've got a choice of shorts for all your off-road escapades.

Dirty Shorts.

Made for pure filth. Low Pressure. No pressure.

As much as you love bike riding, Tarmac is not your friend. If it ain't trail, it probably ain't worth your time. Getting lost is just part of your patter. We're not fooled by how chill you are. In fact, anything that takes you from the trails to the pub and still looks on point is probably your perfect ride companion. If it protects you when you're wet, is as tough as your tyres are soft and can lug a kilo of Haribo in its handy pockets, then it might be enough for you to put down The Radavist for a tick. All that, and still no one knows you're wearing a secret chamois underneath. We won't tell if you don't.

Adventure Bibs.

Made for distance. Play 'til its hard.

Every adventure begins with a route map. Meticulously planned. If your weekend ride distance matches your monthly salary, you wanna know where you're going. You probably also want to hunt a few Strava KOMs along the way – on-road and off-road. Your tyres might be knobbly and you might have a penchant for a T-shirt (tech-based, of course). But speed and distance still give you the biggest thrill. That and watching Thereabouts. (Going the distance requires inspiration.) As well as a chamois that doesn't chafe and handy pockets to house your phone, wallet and gluten-free nutrition. Because wheat is best served in a chilled glass at the end of a long day pretending to get lost. But knowing every turn before your Wahoo prompts you.
