Bicycles and landscapes. some words and a lot of pictures. The man from icon. March 12, 2017. March 13, 2017. Sailing around Sussex with friends searching out windmills. All eight listed on the brevet card found and logged. At the almost the exact midpoint between the starts of meteorological and astronomical spring, it was the first ride in what felt like spring. Gloves off and jerseys unzipped. Riding with shadows and laughter. Thanks to Paul at Rule 5 Bikes. For news of other rides and events. This is...

Never miss a post. Inspiring trips, beautiful photography and occasional gear talk direct to your inbox. Surly Ogre: Bikepacking & Dirt Road Tourer Review. On Apr 20, 2014. Having been away from home for almost 7 months, its nice to get the occasional email from people back home. Shona’s email tells me of Keep Pedalling’s. Birthday party and celebrations. Its perhaps remiss of me not to mention the bike I am riding given we have now covered almost 5,000 happy kilometres together. Torn between the Troll.

About & Policies. 42 Bikes: Life, the Universe and Bikes. On November 29, 2015. As tomorrow is my day off I’ve just been calculating my travel expenses for November. 4 car journeys (none possible by bike due to volume of stuff) total 229.8 miles at 45p per mile = 103.41. 52 journeys by bike total 336.96 miles at 20p per mile = 67.39. Cycling 336.96 directly saved the Church 84.24 this month. It also saved in the region of 130kg of CO2 emissions. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Click to s...

Middle Ring All The Way. Spectrum – Part 1. 10 July, 2016. 12 July, 2016. If mountain bike racing in the UK had a spectrum, at the red end you’d have events like the Highland Trail with its duration measured in days. At the violet end would probably be something like downhill, with a duration measured in minutes and fractions of a second. 1 a band of colours, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength. 8220;Come...

Tour Divide 2013: July 2013
http://mgtd2013.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The story of a long journey started in 2008 and will hopefully come to an end at the Mexican border in early July! Wednesday, July 31, 2013. 124 miles until Grants all on paved roads called the. Alternate. Due to the every day thunderstorms the original route become impassable when wet. That’s the reason for the two alternative routes in. Both on paved roads. Both are more or less flat with the typical every day hilly up and down game. Like the day before I left the motel at 4:00 pm. Maybe if I would lin...

Tour Divide 2013: Day 25: Final destination - Antelope Wells
http://mgtd2013.blogspot.com/2013/08/day-25-final-destination-antelope-wells.html
The story of a long journey started in 2008 and will hopefully come to an end at the Mexican border in early July! Friday, August 2, 2013. Day 25: Final destination - Antelope Wells. I was not fully convinced of getting to the border without any obstacles today. Was there something else? The new tires (Maxxis Crossmark) were a blast. What a difference! During the whole TD the ranking was absolutely out of my mind. Just finishing – somehow! From time to time I looked behind me if I would see somebody else...

Tour Divide 2013: August 2013
http://mgtd2013.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The story of a long journey started in 2008 and will hopefully come to an end at the Mexican border in early July! Thursday, August 15, 2013. My Top 10 of the . 8230;most crappy sections of the Tour Divide. Just for insiders and of course depending on the personal fitness, mood and weather of the day. Where: After Poncha Springs climb toward. Why: Barbecuing on a paved road with an inconvenient gradient and a lot of traffic. Where: Section after North Bone Creek with skirting. Until Grassy Lake Reservoir.
