Tour Le Tour
Because
Life Should be an Adventure
Life
should be an adventure, and I try to make sure that mine is. That tends
to mean that I'm terribly busy though, and on most days there are
better things to do than update a web page! So yes, this badly needs a proper
refresh, and it will get one... some time... Right now though the focus is on riding my bike, and enjoying the adventure!
There will be updates and they will generally arrive as new chapters or something here,
but for now, there is just old stuff. Some of it makes interesting
reading though, I hope. Going backwards, the exciting bits are:
The Indian Pacific Wheel Ride (2021) - This one... Well, this one went pretty well. Of course, I've only just started writing about it, but the rest will appear over the next few weeks (or months...)
The Transcontinental Race No 7 (2019) - This one didn't go nearly as well as I had hoped, but I still enjoyed it!
A little ride I called Basil (2018) - It started out being called the Indian Pacific Wheel Race 2018, but all kinds of things went wrong so I called it Basil.
The Transcontinental Race No 5 (2017) - Didn't end the way I hoped
The Giro d'Italia (2013) - Well worth completing the set, despite the cold!
The Vuelta a Espana (2012) - My favourite of the Grand Tours!
The Tour de France (2011) - a second go, but unfortunately only a few stages of it this time.
The Tour de Timor (2009) - What a way to see a country - not ideal for writing a blog though sorry!
The Tour de France (2009) - Who knew they would later come up with a name for riding your bike a long way on your own?
As for what's next? Well, that's a good question. I think I've actually figured out how to do well in these long bike races. It isn't easy, but it's rewarding, and I kind of think I want to do more of it.
The whole world is a bit crazy right now and I'm not sure when or where I'll next be allowed to travel, but I'm pretty sure I can find some pretty good races regardless, and there is one that is on my mind at the moment. The planning is still early but hopefully you'll hear more about it here pretty soon!
