Finally on the move again after spending a few months in Cambridge sorting out the house etc. Honey wanted to see Scotland and I wanted to inspect my square foot of land at Laphroaig 😀 With both of us now very slow on the bikes I finally decided to get the train to Edinburgh and

Geoff’s Tour of France
Tomorrow as the Tour de France cycle race ends we depart to do our own little tour, interestingly back to the origins from which TdF was born! The first stage is from Luxembourg Airport to Pont Au Mousson to take part in the Federal Semane cycling week. The next stage a week or so later

We have both qualified & received our places for our first Paris-Brest -Paris ride. We completed our 200km, 300km, 400km & 600km qualifying rides in Thailand. The 2023 PBP for me starts on Sunday 20th August at 19:30 and Honey at 19:00. We have 90 hours to ride the 1219km (757 miles) which makes my
