Sorry, many months since I sat down to write. I've been busy, cycling and procrastinating over on Instagram. I did manage to put together the text for this book which melds the brilliant drawings of Nigel Peake with mountains we all strive to conquer. There is a mix of European legends, American classics and Columbian monsters. It is bound using a special glue that will enable you to detach
Apps have enabled us to do many things. Make our dinner look slightly less burnt (Instagram), make our every thought sound witty and poignant (Twitter) and given us the thumbs of a geriatric due to repeated flinging of animals at animals (Angry Birds). Those apps are only useful to a point. So I've put together a slightly more useful selection of that I found came in handy during the cyclocross
I often have trouble remembering to do things and then everything gets left, forgotten or cluttered. Like the other month my home insurance lapsed and only after 10 days did I remember I needed to call, which I then had to do from my mobile which cost more, because I was on the way to see the Tour de France in Yorkshire, and knowing my luck, without home insurance the house wouldn't g

Wednesday 25th June, Women’s evening in @raphacycleclub LDN.
After @Andywaterman showed me this video on holiday I been obsessed with the song, shame I'm about two years too late to this party. The video aired in August 2012 and appeared, apparently on a few Hot Things of 2012 type lists. I like it because Dena appears to have emerged from the brain of a mildly satirical blogger. If you Google the phrase "hipster clubber" you get images of twentysomethings looking, even standing, like her. She's so now, or now-ish, that she appears to
The Col de Joux Plane, famed for being the climb that Lance Armstrong supposedly 'bonked' on during the 2000 Tour de France. It looms behind the ski town of Samoens like a constant shadow, south facing, snow never settles on its green slopes. Linking Samoens with Morzine it is a popular final climb in the Tour.
