Bhumibol Dam 600km Audax
Some folks may be wondering why I have landed up at Uthai Thani in Thailand the answer lies in an urge I’ve had to do a 600km Audax and also to keep warm without burning £20 notes. So when Wit Pimkanchanapong pasted this up I was intrigued: Here is a list of the 125 participants…

Three days riding north from Bangkok
A very hot three days riding the 150+ miles from Bangkok to Uthai Thani due North from Bangkok and roughly following the Chao Phraya River. I had overnight stops in Ayutthaya and Sing Buri. Ayutthaya is the old capital city before its wanton destruction in 1767. Interesting that stumps of the various massive buildings are…

Three nights in Bangkok
Three different hotels too – it appears whenever I book into a hotel it instantly fills up for subsequent nights I never realised how famous I am 🙂 However, The Windsor Suites Hotel on my first night was hosting a Latino dance festival and the Coco@20 filled up with weekend punters.

I’m once again staying at the Hotel Windsor Suites.\ The flights were OK although a…

This escapism was bought about by this little post which caught my eye: Particularly the bit about no winter! So coupled with me getting a place on DC Rainmakers…

A blast from my past!
Whilst searching on the AllTrails website I discovered this little blast from the past which I uploaded to EveryTrail in 2008. The original post came about when I discovered my 1956 YHA card. I then did a plot connecting up the Youth Hostels as much I could remember from when I was 8 years old.…

Cluster analysis of my cycling speed versus distance
A very interesting, for me, cluster analysis of my cycling speed versus distance made using the Strava Wind Analysis website As you can see the shorter the distance ridden the slower I ride 🙁 Obviously when I’m touring on a loaded bike I ride much shorter distances. Interesting that my speed on Audaxes is always…
