As a kid, I was blessed with having the first summer birthday in my class. This meant that mine was the first opportunity to run through sprinklers, have water balloon fights, eat hot dogs, and roast marshmallows. These were some of the best times. More recently, notable birthday moments included trying to slurp up a … More Bday in Bavaria: The big 3-0!
My 3am start this morning came uncomfortably early, however, knowing that I was heading to a new country and on a new adventure, it was not too difficult to pry open my eyes and head out the door. The Bike – Bus – Plane – Taxi – Train – Bus sequence was going to take … More A moment in Memmingen (Germany)
Sunday morning dawned bright and beautiful, with only a hint of ominous clouds in the distance. Caley is part of the Cowley Road Condors Cycling Club, and she told me they had a “superfun 75ish k ride through the Cotswolds.” “It says it is not going to be hilly” she reassured me.

Since I was “in the neighbourhood”, I figured I would walk down to the Seven Sisters Cliffs. From Friston, I went down Crowlink lane and walked the mile through … More Sheep, Seven Sisters, & the spectacular sea
It is the May holiday weekend, so I saddled up my pony and headed south. I had noticed a tantalizing acronym on Google maps “AONB”, which apparently is “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” which seems too tantalizing to resist. It certainly was beautiful, but what I should have known to interpret that as 100% hills. These … More Riding down memory lane: AONB & Herstmonceux Castle

After spending several lonely hours waiting for me outside the office, my bicycle demanded to be treated like a lady – a spin about town and some time on the beach. We had a pretty excellent excursion cruising the streets of Stockholm. We stopped by the Långholmen, a small island in the middle of the city … More Cruising around Stockholm
I had decided to splash out and book the overnight ferry back to the UK. To my delight, it seems that ferry travel is not completely booked during the week, so I had a comfortable cabin to myself. After a sound sleep, I TOOK A SHOWER! ON A BOAT!? Luxury. I had a cup of … More Pedalling home
