• End of Spring MTB Ride - Chiltern Hills

  It's been a long time coming, but Dan Black and myself got out for an excellent ride today in the Chiltern Hills.

• Mildred up for sale!

  Yes, I’ve given in to pressure and decided it’s finally time to let Mildred go her own way. I think she’ll be happy to stay in NZ.

• Connecting the Dots

  Finally got myself out for a ride today – incredible weather, 25c and bright blue skies. As I’d not been out on a proper ride for, erm, let me see, 10 months or so?! I’d decided on a “drive to the top and ride along without too much climbing” type ride...
