Col du Tourmalet today. Can you believe it's almost winter!? Few mins off a PB but came home strong. #CantComplain
Wednesday 11 November 2015
Not been riding much? Try 2xHC climbs (Soulor/Spandelles) when a little out of shape! Beautiful day for some pain!
Friday 6 November 2015
When old GPS & phone are both unreliable, what's left? Lucky only short ride today, but 10km of that was on pavé!
Sunday 1 November 2015
Gotta love a climb where last few kays are 10% pavé! Cattle here impressive too, esp. ones with the odd udders!
Sunday 25 October 2015
Random trundle around valleys in Northern Spain. Lovely & green. Nice hills too, descent back to coast great fun!
Wednesday 21 October 2015
This was the 'warm up' climb on today's ride: cat 2 up to Cahecho. Went on to Fuente De but got cloudy so no pics 
Saturday 17 October 2015

Saturday 10 October 2015
Stunning riding above Gavarnie today, on 40km climb to Col de Tentes! Final 11km is HC in it's own right! #Broken
Friday 9 October 2015
Relaxing in late aftenoon sun above Pierrefitte-Nestalas. Some tricky decisions to be made come morning! Hmmmmm

Little 'recovery' ride this morning Climbed Portillion to Spain then Peyresourde. Love, love, love the Pyrenees!
Saturday 26 September 2015
Today meant to be all DH from half way so smashed up Mente & Aspet. Imagine my joy finding 2 more cols after that!
Tuesday 15 September 2015
Overcast & chilly in Odenwald, but out for nice loop anyway. Rolling hills mean nothing flat here. Great cycling
Sunday 23 August 2015
Rest of today's ride (Hildal to Hara): Stunning mountain pass left traffic free as main road now runs in a tunnel!
Sunday 23 August 2015
Latefossen few km into today's ride. Tourists & water all over the road. Bit of wind & everyone has an early shower!
Tuesday 18 August 2015
Might have got a bit sweaty on today's ride Only drank 2.5 bottles in 3.5 hours though as it's not very hot here!
Tuesday 18 August 2015
Today's ride: Vossevangen, along Hamlagrøvatnet (turns out this is largest lake in the area) & back. Very peaceful!

Oh Norway!!! Could be enduring the shitfight that is Southern Europe in August. Or here. Enjoying this. #NoBrainer
Monday 10 August 2015
LOL! Erm... No! Turns out this spot is only 38km away, but thanks for the suggestion, Google! #RidePlanning
Sunday 9 August 2015
Road tunnels along fjord not great for cyclists, but this seems a typical bypass. Drop on right into water though!
Sunday 9 August 2015
This valley has 200m waterfalls & stunning water, but not even on the tourist map. Norway is overflowing with beauty!
Friday 7 August 2015
Highest paved road in Northern Europe: 13.1km @ 10%. Middle 4km @ 12%. Many sections at 20% plus! In the rain. #Rule5
Saturday 1 August 2015
Cruising the fjords. Impossibly beautiful & absolutely brutal gradients - especially when you do repeats! Love it!
Wednesday 29 July 2015
Rode from fjord 1,500m up to Dalsnibba, where on a clear day should be able to see the start. Not today, too misty
Sunday 26 July 2015
Today's ride: Trollstigen. Riding a HC climb the day after hiking 8 hours on 'challenging' terrain: Ouch! 
Tuesday 14 July 2015
How paranoid tourists park their bikes in Copenhagen. Even though we were sat outside a cafe maybe 5 metres away!
Tuesday 14 July 2015
Ride into central Copenhagen for a look around. Bike lanes here so organised & so busy! Lives up to reputation then!
Tuesday 7 July 2015
Legs feeling effects of last couple weeks. Ouch! One stop today for natural break & took this. Always scenic here!
Sunday 5 July 2015
Had to change a spoke this morning. Which means... erm... had to actually clean the wheel to see what I was doing!
Sunday 28 June 2015
No pics of ride today. A couple of the aftermath then Think I broke distance & climbing records this week. Yay!
Friday 26 June 2015
More fantastic Vosges today. Rode all the way to top of 3rd highest peak here & hit up a vaguely well known col
Wednesday 24 June 2015
Vosges & Haut-Rhin. Stopped few too many times for pictures, but can you blame me? Another stunning cycling paradise!
Wednesday 17 June 2015
Today's ride was here in the Odenwald region of Germany. Lots of quiet roads & rolling hills. Beautiful stuff
Wednesday 10 June 2015
Out riding in Germany it's hard to find tap in public, so had to stop at bakery & ask for water. Tragic, really
Friday 5 June 2015
At last! Blue skies & warm in Europe! No thermal required! Today's ride back in Mosel region a cracker. #GoodTimes
Tuesday 2 June 2015
Nestled between strip clubs & sex shops, Radsport Bebelaar in Trier seems everything a boutique bike shop should be!
Tuesday 26 May 2015
View over a wildflower meadow passed on today's ride. This is rolling Ardennes countryside around Dochamps. Loverly.
Saturday 23 May 2015
Today's ride around Ypres was completely random, yet passed many cemeteries. Beautiful countryside, horrible history!
Tuesday 12 May 2015
Pics from today's spin around Windermere (no vantage point of the lake itself). Bloody cold & windy but great riding!

Few Tour de Yorkshire pics. I said to local reporter (asking about Aussie connection) it's not the Tour de France!
Tuesday 28 April 2015
Pratiwi: "Are you going cycling today?" Me: [checks weather] "F*ck that!" 
Hmmmmm... any nice pubs around here?
Wednesday 22 April 2015
Pratiwi: "Want any sunscreen?" Me: "Where am I not covered?!" Arctic gales on today's ride, but still fun #Painful
Monday 20 April 2015
Back from great ride round 50ish km of yesterday's Amstel Gold course. Lovely bergs. Sorry, no pics but imagine green hills & sunny skies
Saturday 18 April 2015
Today's ride in Belgium. Bit of pavé, bit of gravel. Cold (despite the sun) & bloody windy. Who'd have thought?!
Tuesday 14 April 2015
Great to be back on the bike in the sunny Mosel But 6 wks of travel, 1 of gastro & 1 of flu has left zero form
Saturday 28 February 2015
Can't think why we chose this restaurant. At least while Pratiwi is engrossed in menu there's some entertainment!
