Road tunnels along fjord not great for cyclists, but this seems a typical bypass. Drop on right into water though! grin

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! wink 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 sad

Sunday 26 July 2015

Today's ride: Trollstigen. Riding a HC climb the day after hiking 8 hours on 'challenging' terrain: Ouch! wink grin tongue

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! smile

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! wink

Sunday 28 June 2015

No pics of ride today. A couple of the aftermath then wink Think I broke distance & climbing records this week. Yay! grin

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 smile

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 smile

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 wink tongue

Friday 5 June 2015

At last! Blue skies & warm in Europe! No thermal required! Today's ride back in Mosel region a cracker. #GoodTimes smile

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!

Saturday 2 May 2015

Few Tour de Yorkshire pics. I said to local reporter (asking about Aussie connection) it's not the Tour de France! sad

Tuesday 28 April 2015

Pratiwi: "Are you going cycling today?" Me: [checks weather] "F*ck that!" cry Hmmmmm... any nice pubs around here? wink

Wednesday 22 April 2015

Pratiwi: "Want any sunscreen?" Me: "Where am I not covered?!" Arctic gales on today's ride, but still fun #Painful wink

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 smile

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?! wink

Tuesday 14 April 2015

Great to be back on the bike in the sunny Mosel smile But 6 wks of travel, 1 of gastro & 1 of flu has left zero form sad

Saturday 28 February 2015

Can't think why we chose this restaurant. At least while Pratiwi is engrossed in menu there's some entertainment! wink

Tuesday 6 January 2015

Just back from cycling. GPS says it was 35° out. Phew! Pratiwi thought she'd have some fun while I stretch: Bliss!

Thursday 25 December 2014

Post ride relaxation in the shade. Bit quiet today, where is everyone? wink #XmasDayBikeRideDone #NowForLunch grin tongue

Thursday 23 October 2014

Feeling good on the 'train' after work wink How good is it to arrive home with mashed legs?! grin http://www.strava.com/activities...

Friday 8 August 2014

Spotted in Barcelona: family of 5 travelling around by bike. So what was your excuse for not cycling touring again?

Saturday 19 April 2014

Was a bit of Strade Bianchi on the route today, so Cervelo needs a shower. Bike wash with a view outside our cottage!

Saturday 19 April 2014

Another nice trundle today. Snap of the view towards Kangaroo Valley from part way down Berry Mtn descent. Beautiful!

Friday 18 April 2014

1500m climbed in only 60km today. Beautiful views on ride & for refreshments after. More of the same tomorrow please!

Saturday 8 February 2014

For poms who cry in 20° heat: my jersey after today's ride - & it's in this state a lot! GPS says 36° max. Nice! wink

Thursday 8 August 2013

Is this the only place UK looks 'hot'? wink Awesome geek stuff! @Strava #heatmap http://app.strava.com/saturday-h...

Friday 19 July 2013

Yes, an actual road sign at the bottom of today's 2nd climb. Who will take the wrong turn? wink #TdF #SBSTdF #OGERocks

Sunday 14 July 2013

Picking out a jersey for today's ride: Hardly a tough choice! wink Can't wait until tonight's stage! #MontVentoux #TdF

Sunday 7 July 2013

Wow... Is it summer already? wink Snacking on banana bread after another great spin in the fantastic winter sunshine smile

Saturday 27 April 2013

Braving Autumn weather in Sydney wink Don't normally share pics from my 'ride like a tourist' route so please enjoy smile

Sunday 31 March 2013

#RVV here! If you can't be there, be on the couch #Leffe in hand, http://live.cyclingnews.com/ on overlay. Cheers! grin

Saturday 5 January 2013

What a joy to be back cycling in the Pyrenees. Glorious mid-winter's day. Just look at that, what's not to love?! smile

Tuesday 18 December 2012

Another sunny day on the bike, but with wind & cold you cannot see. Brrrrr... Still, great views of & from Bonnieux.

Sunday 16 December 2012

Stunning day for a ride through Alpilles regional park. Felt more like a summer's evening than middle of winter! smile

Saturday 8 December 2012

View from today's ride at Col du Canadel. Bike would be in foreground, but so windy was blown over the edge! Doh! sad

Thursday 6 December 2012

View on today's ride, just below Col de Vignon. Could just (so no shot) see some snow capped mounts on other side smile

Friday 23 November 2012

From today's ride: Lac d'Esparron, village of the same name & the crystal clear Verdon river by Gréoux-les-Bains.

Wednesday 21 November 2012

Hitting some great hills above Cannes in sunshine & relaxing in the hotel garden. Hard to believe it's almost winter!

Monday 19 November 2012

Love my @cervelo RS dearly, but maybe time to trade it in for something with more... um... bedrooms? #FairExchange wink
