Longer days lend themselves to the mid-week adventure; now the sun doesn’t drop until late into the evening, escapism via the bike is not just for the weekend. The lesser road travelled, the so-called “short cut” is always the first choice, if it’s an overgrown dirt track, then so much the better… While a disc …

Majorca – Sunshine Miles
Riding bikes in Majorca is for some, an annual pilgrimage, escaping the less than perfect weather back home and putting some sun-drenched miles in the legs, for the season ahead.

Northern California – Bikes, beers, burritos & BodyFit
Northern California seemingly has it all…. Preconceptions of multi-lane highways with congested traffic fade quickly when scenic, single lane roads are discovered. Twisty, off cambered bends, dive off the side of the hillside… the roads are non-uniformed making it all the more fun. Steep gradients lead to high-speed descents… The scent of eucalyptus is in …
