China: Chengdu 65km Road Race

This is who you will be racing against here in China… … actually just kidding, there is in fact a thriving amateur racing scene in China that anyone can participate in if they can find the races. I recently read on CyclingIQ about race events in China and the chances of finding one is slim while [...]

I thought I’d take the opportunity to do some artwork as I had not been doing some lately and its something that I would like to do more of for this 2012 year. During my travels around the world, before my ‘serious cycle racing’ days, I would do sketches of various old character building and [...]

Some of you who followed my blog last year will remember my Rapha China cycling adventures. This year, I still managed to do many of the similar rides but did not take as many photos – simply because if I did, I would have been taking photos of the same places. This year, I also [...]

27 December 2011
After such an intense day of mountain bike racing, I was naturally quite tired so took the opportunity to get some shut-eye before rising to explore the mountanious region on my mountain bike. It was refreshing to be exploring in the forest and not see any cars go by and be at peace with nature; [...]

Merry Xmas to you all! I spent my Xmas Day racing at China’s first ever 29″ Mountan Bike event (A report coming soon on that!). It was a long day – rising before 7am to have American Coffee and McMuffin for breakfast before riding over to the race venue on the outskirts of Guangzhou. [...]
