Today’s cycle was fantastic. 104km with over 1100m elevation. The sun was shining, the wind was pleasant and offered little by way of headwind and the roads were relatively empty. I had made a new route on Strava for todays ride. Having ridden my usual 100km ride numerous times now and knowing every inch of …
I am pleased to announce that I have written an article for our local newspaper, the Northampton Chronicle and Echo which has been released today.

As I sit here on Monday evening, rewatching Death in Paradise, I find myself thinking ahead to the 4th September and I realise we are only 14/15 weeks away from the start of the ride. I try to work out where the time has gone since I signed up last September, but I am at …

These last couple of weeks have been tough! In these past 3 weeks or so the lockdown restrictions have hit me like a bus. I know it may have come late in the day but my gosh it has hit hard. Since we went into lockdown in March last year and then again in November, …
