Grand depart

Welcome to the first post of this new blog: area of outstanding natural cycling.

Of course, cycling is not natural - bikes don't grow - you have to buy them.

As cycling continues it meteoric rise in the UK following Wiggo's victory in le tour, I've decided to return to blogging after a few years absence.

The purpose is that I can share some routes and talk about stuff that happens while I'm out on my bike.  It'll hopefully encourage me to get out more too: the incessant rain and a spill on my ride to work, which has left the ligaments in my right hand permanently damaged, have curtailed my efforts a bit recently.

I've also just arrived back from summer hols France where I managed to catch two tour stages - one of my pix is below from the Col de Peyresourde.

This is on the lower slopes just before Cadel Evans had his goose cooked - you can see him toward the right of the shot - mid roast.  There were lots of upset Aussies in the bar in Arreau that day.


Don't get me wrong, I like Aussies and Cadel was a very worthy winner in 2011.  But it is always good to see them get wiped out - in a sporting sense.

Until next time, ride safe.
