Life has been interesting of late, everybody and everything has been turned upside down, it's felt at times like being inside a tumble drier which wont turn off! There are glimmers of light appearing somewhere near to the horizon, although they aren’t shining very bright, just a dull ember like glow... When the opportunity comes …
Patches are now gone! Thanks to everyone who bought one 🙂 🙂 :-)We will be producing a second run of our patches, so fret not if you missed out first time around! It'll likely take us a few weeks to get them sorted, but we will let everyone know via the blog and the Instagram …
An enforced holiday in the first half of 2020 was an unexpected event, I had not planned for this... I had planned for Tour Divide in June. Like massive amounts of people around the world it was time to adjust, reflect and become creative. I never ever get bored normally and I definitely did not …
A hint of nostalgia today... After seeing Paul’s recent early morning explorations around our local trails I decided to go out by myself and take a fresh look at those trails, the same trails I used to ride every day on my way into work. It’s been a while now since I was lucky enough …
Here I am again up at the very northern tip of Aotearoa , Cape Reinga lining up for my third time for this increasingly popular brevet. I am super amped and looking forward to riding through this stunning country I now call home . I was starting in wave one this year, in 2016 I …
How's everybody doing out there? For a variety of reasons we've been a bit quiet over last few months, but we haven't been idle!

I sat at the bench this morning enjoying the sunshine, as usual I took a photograph of my bike and posted it to Instagram, a simple expression of gratitude for the day. The egg and mushroom butty was savoured, my flask coffee was endured and I reached for my book, in short time my phone …
So we finally did it... Arranged a full two day excursion from the hustle and bustle of our home town streets to the leafy green Peaks, to celebrate Aidan's 23rd. He had somehow managed to bribe the weather so we could have a full day of riding in not-so-miserable conditions! As a crew we all …
Life has taken a few twists and turns of late, losing a parent is a difficult and consuming process and it’s very easy to forget that your own health and well being needs some attention now and again, my usual method is to ride my bike. I’d managed to get out a few times during …
Yesterday I set off to go for my first Hyper Randonneur. For the non audax weirdos amongst you, that’s 4 x 600km or longer rides in one season. With PBP and another two 600’s done I just needed one more before the end of September. The best thing about a Hyper is that it’s not …
