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!

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!

Friday 19 July 2013
Yes, an actual road sign at the bottom of today's 2nd climb. Who will take the wrong turn? #TdF #SBSTdF #OGERocks
Sunday 14 July 2013
Picking out a jersey for today's ride: Hardly a tough choice! Can't wait until tonight's stage! #MontVentoux #TdF

What a joy to be back cycling in the Pyrenees. Glorious mid-winter's day. Just look at that, what's not to love?!
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!
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!
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
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
Monday 19 November 2012
Killing time while car is serviced in Nice: cycle to Monte Carlo & back... via some nice hills with nice views
Saturday 17 November 2012
Post-ride today. I guess you'd have to be a @simongerrans or @Orica_GreenEDGE fan to get this!
Saturday 17 November 2012
Today's ride: tootle the Sanremo bike path with Pratiwi. Then smash fest to Poggio. Then... well - when in Italy
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?
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
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
Friday 5 October 2012
New cassette, rings, chain, cables, brake pads & bar tape. Feels & looks great! And do you like the work stand?
Thursday 4 October 2012
Chain stretch? What chain stretch?! A PC-1091R with 5310km on goes in the bin (with the rings & cluster). Ouch!
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!
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!
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!
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? Finally got some blue skies but can assure you this ride was rather chilly!
Tuesday 11 September 2012
OMG... just been handed this map! But only booked 4 nights here... & storms are forecast 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!
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
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!
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!
