Making the downhill bits a little easier
I fancied a night away in the tent and decided to see if it was possible to carry everything I need for camping on my bike. When I go away for just one night, I try to reduce the weight … Continue reading

TGO Challenge 2011 – A quick summary
Wet and windy; that just about sums it up. Every day I looked at the sky and thought “This will soon clear up”. It never did. Most of the time, the rain was showery rather than torrential but there were … Continue reading
