1. Big MS 200 ride

   12th March 2017

   I’m riding the Tour of the Highlands in May raising funds for the MS Society. I kicked it all off with a route-art ride in the shape of the letters MS - 103 miles in October. Now I fancy giving a similar route another go, hopefully with a few folk joining me - this time 200 miles. Updates 14th April - We're all good for tomorrow :) Weather looking ok. Due to set off from St Andrews Westport… continue reading »

2. Tour of the Highlands 2017 for MS

   9th March 2017

   In May - over three days - I'm going to be cycling 313 miles taking in climbs to five Scottish ski centres and raising money for the MS Society.

Cue the Tour of the Highlands, 3 days, 313 miles, 20,000ft ascent. I have a family connection to multiple sclerosis,… continue reading »

3. My first Audax - Forth & Tay 200

   5th March 2017

   Audax has been on my radar for a little while - longer events appeal for some strange reason and last week I bit the bullet and entered the Forth and Tay 200. An early start (for a Sunday) saw the alarm go at 6, breakfast, shower, and bike in the car, I was on the road at 6:40. Raining - ugh. Went bit further, still raining. This wasn't looking so inspired now! Got to where we were to park our cars… continue reading »

4. Monikie Duathlon 2016/2017

   6th January 2017

   Monikie Duathlon Winter Series is a run of three events in December, January and February organised by the Angus Bike Chain Cycling Club. I was on a group ride earlier in the year and got chatting to a guy that seeded the idea that it might be fun to give it a go. Bit of something different over the winter, I got my entry in. Not having done much running that was my main area of focus. Despite being… continue reading »

5. Cycling 2016

   6th January 2017

   Most of my ride notes are locked up inside Strava, for 2017 I’d like to get some of the more interesting ones out of there and posted here. To try and kick that off here is my cycling roundup of last year. Start the year with… injury The year started really at the end of November 2015, when a dreadful bike setup did untold things to my right knee. Cue almost no cycling in December, and… continue reading »
