Let’s go cycling

  • The Ciro Trail…to the Adriatic Sea

    The Ciro Trail follows a discontinued railway line to Dubrovnik, and proved to be a most enjoyable and scenic ride! 3rd October. 85km, the first section of the Ciro Trail, cloudy, windy and cold 9 degrees, brrrr. We set off from Mostar with a little trepidation after the previous few experiences on Bosnian Roads. Once…

  • Following the Inn

    September 7, into Austria! Scuol to Imst, 86km and 640m elevation even though its mostly downhill… The last km of Switzerland were a delight- gorgeous views and a fairly traffic free cycle route to the Austrian border.. Over the border it was a busy but wide shouldered road for a bit, and then the Austrian…

  • Brittany

    Bonjour! making our way East… 3rd August  A 5 hour ferry ride saw us cross the channel from Plymouth to Roscoff on the Northwest coast of France. An easy exit through passport control and then to familiarise ourselves with riding on the “wrong” side of the road as we made our way 30km to Morlaix.  Takes…

  • England and out

    Well…it’s been almost three months, we’ve covered nearly 4000km on our bikes and over 40,000 metres of ascent in the UK and Ireland. Time to jump on a ferry and try a different language… A randomly generated set of pics from the GoPro… ‘cos we just don’t ever seem to have time to do anything…

  • Wales!

    Well…all I can say is it’s very hilly!  But oh so very scenic. 19th July, 17km of riding and 100km of water A 3 1/2 hour ferry ride and we change countries.  No riding off the ferry this time- we manhandled our bikes onto the shuttle bus to take us to the terminal so that…

  • Islands and Highlands

    23rd June, Torridon to the Isle of Skye.  74.6km and 1020m elevation, lots of rain, Max 13degrees. A big day of riding and soooo many hills!  Nothing super huge- just lots of ’em.  My legs were complaining by the time we got to Skye, that’s for sure. No need for a ferry today as there’s…

  • Heading North

    Slough to East Anglia 11th MayAnother English breakfast and see ya later to Isabel.Getting out of Slough was easy- so many lovely little laneways and the roads we did ride on were mostly quiet. Somewhere along the way, around the time we were thinking it was time for a coffee, we came across a low…

  • Ferries and more ferries…the road to Mumbai

    We’re taking turns to write so you’ll have to figure it out for yourselves… Sunday 22nd Sept, Day 34 in India 🙂 Another lazyish start to the day, Neil’s turn to have a dodgy tummy so we took it easy and got going around 10ish. Not so far in kms today but a few brutal…
