A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike - I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging - which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike - the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

Thanks so much for watching Peter!

Great overview and great effort. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m now thinking of just doing the 225 next year because I found the last 80k of the 312 soulless, although my daughter is making noises that she wants to do it again as a dad daughter day out. 😂

[@Pelohun]

What a Dad/Daughter day out that would be - incredible!

[@darrin2382]

Yes but where did you get your patio set from? 😊

[@Pelohun]

Haha! Do you know what I genuinely can’t remember sorry, it’s quite old now.

[@Tarmaccyclocross]

Not the pee dilemma again 🤣🤣🤣🤣 caffeine I drink between about 10 builders mugs a day and could sleep on a clothesline 🤣🤣🤣

[@Pelohun]

Haha! I envy the life.
