Collioure. A place to hide, ride and escape
Over the weekend I ran into an old friend and by chance we meandered through the conversation to discover we’d narrowly missed paths 7 months earlier in the little publicised French seaside town of Collioure. He’d cycled about 1000kms and gained 23,000 metres in...
Coming up for air
After immersing in the depths, this is a reminder that we all need to come up for air and breathe up before diving in deep again.
Each goal starts with a pedal stroke
Every mountain climb starts and ends with the same thing, a revolution of the cranks, a pedal stroke. What’s the significance in that? It is but such a small effort, but it’s not just a lever propelled by a shapely leg to get you over the top, often it’s a lever...
Local knowledge and lingo
Fancy a Frenchman telling you that there’s a great adventure to be had in Spain, and he knows just where it is. Stranger things have happened, but thank goodness for local knowledge. Rodolfo, a very accomplished cyclist who resides in one of the most delightful of...
Starting with a lap of Tasmania
The Lap What’s certain is that the five-week tour will start with a lap of Tasmania. Clockwise starting at Devonport. That’s okay, but that’s not really the start. To get to the real start there’s some backtracking to do. Backtracking Let’s first reverse the overnight...

The wrong tool for the right job
Sometimes we don't have the right tools for the job, other times the skill, or the know how, the experience, an instruction booklet, someone to ask or nor do we know what's on the other side or maybe at the top. We know that by going forward, we'll face perils, or we...
On the start line
You’re on the start line ready to roll. You’ve prepared for this day for months. The regular weekly training rides have built you up to a physical and mental peak that you’re quietly comfortable with. Legs are feeling good. You’ve broken out a new kit just for today....
Training with a French Cycling Club
Cycling. France. Training with a local Club at the foot of the Pyrenees. Three simple things spun together that seem far removed from belting up and down Beach Rd in Melbourne at 6am. What does it mean to roll along in a club ride through the Pyrenees-Orientales?...
