Dean is a freelance cycling journalist based in Dorset. He's got  the New Forest National Park and the Isle of Purbeck on his doorstep and enjoys anything on dirt. Dean has been fortunate to travel the world in search of the best trails - from summers spent in the Alps to exploring iconic locations such as Scotland, Aosta Valley, the Pyrenees, Finale Ligure, New Zealand and Whistler. While he's raced DH, enduro and XC he much prefers exploring with his gravel bike these days and can even be found on the bikepacking trip, too.
