2021. Done and dusted. The planet makes another trip around the sun and we wave goodbye to another calendar year. Firstly, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to visit my site and read what I write! It is much appreciated. As the years seem to these days, 2021 has absolutely FLOWN by….

Hitting 10,000km with (almost) a bang!
I don’t often set distance targets, but mileage (kilometre-age?) is a suitably motivating metric to keep track of as the weeks and months roll by. Strava also has a handy feature that lets you set goals and easily keep track by showing how far ahead or behind you are. At the beginning of the year…
April Round Up: A bonus month of cycling weather
Maybe it’s my old age, but I swear there just aren’t as many days in each month any more. Or perhaps the hours are getting shorter. Either way, yet another month of 2021 has flown by in a flash and we’re one third of the way through the year already. Back at the end of…

Looking back, there have been countless great times in the saddle with hopefully many more to come! Anyway, I’ve…
Hitting 4000km for the year so far
Saturday morning I punched out a solid but relatively flat 88km solo ride in blustering conditions that felt like a headwind in every direction. It was rough but still enjoyable. At home afterwards I glanced at my Strava account and noticed I’d rolled past 4000km (2500 miles) for the year so far. It’s a lot to…
