    Today's Ride

    It was, but because of the headwind I still had to pedal. It's just not fair!!!

    Today's Ride

    Yesterday's ride. My last of this long trip. I parted with Fiona in Frankfurt, took the train to Trier and decided to ride from there to Sedan. I decided to hand navigation over to Google, suggesting cycle route and quiet roads. The results were interesting - it took me on a minutely wiggling...

    Today's Ride

    Yesterday's riding was spectacular. A chilly descent of the Oberalp, back down to Andermatt to meet two of my favourite cycling companions for breakfast and then the Furka Pass. It was only by chance that they happened to be in the area. A lovely start to the day! Then the nine hour attempt to...

    Today's Ride

    Been quite a few days of riding through the Jura in France and then across into Switzerland. My phone got soaked the other day and stopped working for a while. It seems to be recovering but now only charges very slowly, which is a stress. Initially, I planned to ride to Geneva/Smugsville (which...

    Thank you. Good going. My friend plotted the route. I did ask him yesterday if next time he was plotting a route he could avoid areas that have massive arrays of wind turbines. We seem to have gone past an awful lot and I'm guessing their location is not an accident. Tough day ahead. 50 miles of...

    Today's Ride

    It's been a grim slog from the north coast of France down (so far) to Dijon then to Geneva on Tuesday. Everything has been so much more tiring than anticipated due to an almighty headwind blowing almost continuously. Among the many highlights have been some sections of white roads near Troyes...

    Today's Ride

    Just a short ride today, from Lewes to Newhaven. Tomorrow the ten day flash tour of Europe starts. Dieppe to Geneva, then up to Andermatt and on to the Rhine cycle route to Rotterdam (stopping in Frankfurt along the way to meet my wife who is going to a conference there).

    Today's Ride

    Hot and dusty here on our ride this morning. My friend Rob on the steep off-road descent off the north side of Ditchling Beacon and me hanging out on Paine's Twitten in Lewes. It's Paine as in revolutionary Tom Paine who lived in Lewes, and twitten is the local name for the steep alleyways that...

    Aero Garbage Wind Resistant a lie

    I think you might have missed heaviness of brow and bulginess of eyes. A friend of mine who does a lot of work in wind tunnels with neo-pros reckons these are determining factors in how much you can keep your head down in a TT.
