My favourite photo from my recent Nice - Paris cycle ride. That’s Dijon mustard in the background, and the contrasting colours really make this shot special.
As a road cyclist, it is quite unusual for me to go mountain biking. However, going today for the first time in a few years has convinced me that I must get back into it: not only is the riding exhilarating, but the views are incredible! The only worrying moment came as I tiptoed around a large black bull which had stationed itself directly in my path…
Bath Cycle Races last month. I was a marshal, as road racing is a bit too scary for me! This is the Cat 3/4 race, in which a Bath CC rider (pictured here at the front) came second. The guy with the yellow shows who is in second place in this photo went on to win.
To prepare for a race there is nothing better than a good pheasant, some champagne and a woman.
I recently finished a 1000-mile cycle ride from John O’Groats all the way down to Land’s End. Whilst it was an incredible experience, with some stunning scenery, wildlife and weather, there were also days where we were riding into gale force winds in the driving rain, and thus you won’t find me doing it again in a hurry! Still, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge, or a way to fill 10-14 days of your holiday (we ended up doing it in 12).
