Maybe I'm slightly unbalanced but the rain today was fantastic fun......

Tomorrow is the Dartmoor Classic.... and the forecast is simply nasty.

Carbon wheels and spacemen


I do remember being with a bunch of other Lego spacemen of various colours ... however motivated by my recent good performances in timetrials on the trackie I decided to invest in some proper go-faster kit....

more rain... but a good day in the mountains


I did have an awesome sleep, maybe too good as I have the kind of sleep hangover that sees me stumbling into walls and frames during failed attempts to actually walk through doors ....

feeling like dogpoo meant I stuck to the valleys for a mere 70km

Short and Sweet........


The descent could have been epic, instead it was merely ace.... I couldn't get past 80km/hr....

Renewing my acquaintance with the Pyrenees


I'd just about run out of food and had one of those brief out of body experiences when the head is doing one thing and the legs are totally detached and doing something else as the blood sugar dropped... I didn't escape the rain either, it pissed it down as I passed the summit

airport slag heap....


massive excitement at the security check - first they thought the bottles had liquid in 'em (yes, that stupid paranoia still persists at UK airports) and then, having emptied my bag, couldn't decide whether the powder was a prohibited substance as well...

took me by surprise that's for sure... *** warning: Explicit and uncensored cycling content :o) ***


sorry to say feeling a bit smug this afternoon.... I suppose (shamefully) my primary enjoyment comes from the reaction of other riders... my elegant little trackie looked ace today when parked up between a couple of fully loaded top end carbon spaceships. Wicked fun!

Management sponsored riding time...


... but not many carbs in a spicy veggie wrap and pint of tea so I was forced to trundle home feeling decidedly light-headed….

skinsuits at dawn.... choose your weapon...


There's something very peculiar about the British time-trialling scene...

Cookie Cutter the Sequel...


Now it's usually the case that the sequel to any great production is not as good as the original.... however in this case it simply ain't true.
