Yesterday’s #NewEvent was originally intended to be a gravel version of The MMH road event I’ve announced I’m resurrecting next March. I still may run it next year alongside the … Continue reading The Arrow Valley Allroad →

The Stratford Solstice

Posted on June 27, 2026June 27, 2026 by Paul van der Girdleschberger

New Forest, New Trails

Posted on June 20, 2026June 20, 2026 by Paul van der Girdleschberger

The original plan for the past week was to combine my Gravelton Gravel Weekender with a few days in the New Forest afterwards but that didn’t quite go to plan. … Continue reading New Forest, New Trails →

Another Zwift break

Posted on June 4, 2026June 26, 2026 by Paul van der Girdleschberger

If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know I’ve had a rocky relationship with Zwift for years. It’s been on and off like a lightswitch. I did return to … Continue reading Another Zwift break →
