Riding the Festive 500 is always in the back of my mind each December. I completed it once in England during the depths of winter and last year here in Australia. I don’t think I need to tell you which season I prefer to ride it in! Riding the Festive 500 in summer almost feels…

Throwback Thursday: The humble beginnings of the Metric Century Challenge!

This month we’ve at least had a…
