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

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

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

Monday 19 November 2012

Killing time while car is serviced in Nice: cycle to Monte Carlo & back... via some nice hills with nice views smile

Saturday 17 November 2012

Post-ride today. I guess you'd have to be a @simongerrans or @Orica_GreenEDGE fan to get this! wink

Saturday 17 November 2012

Today's ride: tootle the Sanremo bike path with Pratiwi. Then smash fest to Poggio. Then... well - when in Italy grin

Wednesday 14 November 2012

Views from today's ride in the hills above Genoa. Very pleasant... if you can put up with getting in & out of city!

Wednesday 14 November 2012

Best climb ever today: 205m vertical in 560m distance. Over 36% average! Or... bad GPS data. Which do you think? wink

Sunday 21 October 2012

Today's ride to Passo della Consuma & Vallombrosa. Stunning autumn colours descending through forest near the latter.

Thursday 18 October 2012

Today's ride: more cycling past olive groves in the Tuscan hills. These are near Doccia, NE of Florence. Very nice smile

Tuesday 16 October 2012

After 2 weeks of playing in these hills above Florence, happened to stop at road works when the sun was out. Nice smile

Friday 5 October 2012

New cassette, rings, chain, cables, brake pads & bar tape. Feels & looks great! smile And do you like the work stand? wink

Thursday 4 October 2012

Chain stretch? What chain stretch?! wink A PC-1091R with 5310km on goes in the bin (with the rings & cluster). Ouch! sad

Tuesday 18 September 2012

This morning's ride was round a misty Lake Como. Menaggio to Bellagio. Shots on the ferry back home. Nice way to end.

Friday 14 September 2012

Already at 1586m altitude but there's 36 hairpins left to do. Or you've done 72 if coming back down like I was! wink

Friday 14 September 2012

Few of the 36 official hairpins coming from Bormio. There are more below but they must have got bored with numbering!

Friday 14 September 2012

The Umbrail Pass. Well, it would be rude not to visit the Swiss border & another pass as was only a 200m detour! grin

Friday 14 September 2012

Am glad it snowed last couple of days, because we were here 3 days ago & this place doesn't look good in the nude! wink

Friday 14 September 2012

Second (just) highest paved pass in the Alps! See the name under all those stickers? View down the other side is OK!

Friday 14 September 2012

Ever used a snow drift as a bike rack? wink Finally got some blue skies but can assure you this ride was rather chilly!

Tuesday 11 September 2012

OMG... just been handed this map! grin But only booked 4 nights here... & storms are forecast sad Hoping for some luck!

Sunday 9 September 2012

Offenpass & Fluelapass. Love it but can't stay in Switzerland too long: so expensive! Lucky the memories are free! grin

Thursday 6 September 2012

Another ride into Lindau today, this time with Pratiwi. Very nice cycling through the orchards and vineyards.

Sunday 2 September 2012

Might have done a bit of pavé while sightseeing in Lindau this morning. Nice view from nearby Eichenberg too smile

Thursday 23 August 2012

After some very active days this morning's ride to Grosse Scheidegg was a struggle. Lucky there were views to enjoy!

Tuesday 21 August 2012

Just got back from cycling round Lake Brienz. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it! wink

Friday 17 August 2012

From today's ride: End of the road above Verbier. Or rather where it becomes gravel a short way below Croix de Coeur.

Sunday 12 August 2012

This morning's ride: random route from where we are staying in the Alps. Nothing famous but so beautiful. Love it! grin

Friday 10 August 2012

Cloudy ride today on the Grossglockner. 7° at the top where I arrived in short jersey sweating like a pig. Nice! grin

Tuesday 7 August 2012

Cycle loop by Hallstätter See. Dubious Austrian bike paths more like train station, elevated walkway or firetrail! wink

Sunday 5 August 2012

Today's ride over to Austria & back. Definition of 'bike path' bit fuzzy here so some cyclocross action in there wink
