2008-08-18T21:00:21Z

Excellent article over on PezCycling about climbing the Mont Ventoux from the three routes in one day. It is something that I have been thinking about tackling for some time. The Mont Ventoux is a legend of a hill, a mecca for all cyclists. Th...

Time Trials

2008-08-17T19:23:35Z

This year has been my first stab at time trials. There is something funny about time trials. It's you against the clock, adrenalin flowing, plenty of agony and a constant battle in the mind to squash negative thoughts. I have completed three time...

Home alone Day 3

2008-08-08T08:49:46Z

I headed to Marple (Near Stockport) for the second audax of the week. The forecast looked bleak so I packed the winter ribble bike and a range of waterproofing clothing items. The journey to Marple was uneventful if a bit slow around the outskirts...

Bowland Audax

2008-08-05T22:24:58Z

That's one hilly scenic ride around the pennines and the forest of Bowland. Recommended for the scenery, challenge (if you are as challenged by hills as I am) and good company. Well organised by Don Black under the hospice of Audax UK.
