Race Across America Episode 3: Rescues and Reflections
So. This is definitely the hardest of my little RAAM trilogy to write. The end of my ride, the aftermath, all the surrounding feelings and emotions, where it has left me today and where I go from here. Last time I wrote I had just been admitted into the emergency department at the hospital. I […]
Read moreEpisode 2: Pushing the Pedals till the wheels fall off
If I asked you without giving any prior information where you thought I might have woken up on my 40th Birthday, you would have been forgiven for taking a sensible guess: With your wife and daughter, them giving you breakfast in bed and lavishing you with gifts? Nope. On a family holiday in the sun? […]
Read moreRace Across America: Emotional Rollercoaster and Near Death Experiences
When I started writing this blog/story I had intended it to be one post, then as I got to the length of the average Grisham novel and was only half way through the tale of what happened this summer, I decided to go easy on you, so I’ve split it into 3 episodes, The Prep, […]

Read moreFit for Purpose
It was something one of my clients said to me, along with updates and pictures of some of the Cyclists Fighting Cancer children with their bikes, that got me thinking how so many of us are blessed with fully functioning bodies that find excuses and reasons not to use them.

Read moreCycling: Are we taking it all a bit seriously?!
It occurred to me the other day, that I couldn’t think of a sport where there are so many different aspects , eliciting such a wide range of emotions across such a varied set of population demographics. Bear with me, it’s not nearly as boring as it sounds. I mean, there’s obviously a range of […]
Read moreWe challenged the hour….we will be back for more!
So we did it….we challenged Graeme Obree’s 20Year old hour record. We all survived, ok so we didn’t come that close and averaging 58km/hr for the whole hour was a bit optimistic, but in the tradition of all the best british competitions/talent shows/quiz contestants “We all had a great day, and we were ALL Winners […]
