We got back from Fuerteventura around 8pm on Thursday night and it was back to work the next morning. Yuck! Stepping off the plane to 9 degs after leaving 22 degs was a bit of a shock. Post-holiday blues always set in once you are back. Sat in bed drinking a coffee yesterday morning thinking … Continue reading Back to The Grind
I decided to go for a quick spin yesterday afternoon. I was lethargic all day and my legs were pretty tired when I headed out from the hotel confirming how I felt. I decided to do a couple of efforts and then take a spin around the outskirts of town out to the RIU hotels … Continue reading Quick Spin, Cocktails and a New Bike
Yesterday I decided to actually go and do a loop on the bike. The fresh tarmac road from Parques Hollandes, I found the other day, intrigued me so I decided to ride south through the dunes again, pick up the new road and climb up to Villaverde and gravel it all the way back via, … Continue reading Gravel, Goats and Chipmunks
I had to take an unplanned day off the bike yesterday. This is my 7th visit to Corralejo, six visits of which, I have either brought my own or hired a bike. I'm used to the strong winds here and until yesterday I thought I was used to the sun too but I found out … Continue reading Dunes
After an early start and 9.30am flight, we were in our Corralejo apartment by 2pm yesterday. Helped, in part, by our bags been 3rd and 4th off the carousel and the private transfer caning it down the motorway at 90mph lol. Checked in and unpacked, we hit a local bar for our first beer and … Continue reading Lines
After many years of bouncing around cycling clubs, racing, riding and help run them, that all came began to fade away after I closed my shop. The store rides that were established carried on in some capacity for a few years but I decided to officially end them in 2019. Since then I've never been … Continue reading Not What I Expected
Sometimes, when I get bored at my PC I begin to randomly search for shit that just pops into my head. My most recent internet rabbit hole started with an innocuous search for local cycling events. Races, sportives, gravel events + news. That type of thing. I use a few sites but this time I … Continue reading Flirting with Madness
The first Gravelton Event of 2024 was last weekend, The Spring Fling. Sadly, due to piss poor planning on my behalf I couldn't ride. However, a local YouTuber Geoff Girvan-Merryweather who hosts his own channel under the guise of Downhill Smooth Tarmac Cycling did brave the 'moist' conditions with some mates and recorded his 'eventful' … Continue reading Youtube Mention
Lets have a bit of nostalgia. I've been cycling for over 35 years and in that time I've competed in a few (questionable) club cycling kits but back in the day I did go through phases of wearing garish trade kits. Lets have a look at some I've worn over the years. Kelloggs Tour of … Continue reading A bit of Retro
The annual Mad March Hare Sportive was on yesterday. It's a ride I will always have a soft spot for, being the founder of the event back in 2007 (I think!). I organised the first 7 or 8 editions (can't remember) before handing the reigns over and I've ridden a few since then but I … Continue reading Bootlegger
