Going into 2020, we are teaming up with our Sussex friends Rpm90 Cycling Adventures to offer Mason riders unforgettable multi-day riding experiences. Rpm90's founder Nick Miles will be accompanied by his Mason InSearchOf and Bokeh to cover all grounds for next year's rides.
The master team of bikepacking experts at Rpm90 have a collective experience of almost 200 years of riding; their skills have been gained all over the world from the local hills of sussex, to the roads of the Transcontinental race and the high passes of the Silk Road Mountain Race. They have an understanding of provenance and hospitality honed in a background of alpine and fine-dining cheffing. And they operate with an admirable code of sustainable and respectful adventure. This vital combination of skills make Rpm90 the dream partner to collaborate with for our future adventures.
This bike can make you dreamy with Adventure planning. Strip the bike bare of bags, racks and bottle cages and you have got yourself a bike you can play on down those local trails and for that quick off road loop after work. Dom has created a bike that has been something that I have probably wanted to ride for the last 30 years and he has nailed it.
Exploration Missions
Future trips will offer the chance to ride in some stunning locations and also take a creative roll in our trip making missions. Mason owners will get priority access to Rpm90 adventures and the unique opportunity to join brand new ‘explorations’ - a small group of selected riders, testing unknown routes and being part of the path finding process.
We understand the environmental impact of international travel and riding bikes made up of an equally international mix of components. Rpm90 use their knowledge and experience to work closely with local people who use local products and who minimise unnecessary use of services that cause a negative impact on the very land that we want to enjoy and share with future generations. Our own philosophy mirrors this and is to work hard to create bikes that are built to last and are built for life. Wherever possible we will try to offset our foreign adventures by direct action to carbon offset in our local community projects as explained below.
After many years delivering boutique riding experiences on Europe’s premier road destinations, Nick is going back to his roots with bikepacking adventures, exploring roads and trails both at home in Sussex and in lesser-known destinations abroad. Either way sticking strictly to the RPM90 code of adventure.
