As part of my leaving present from work, I was given some money and a cycling book – my colleagues know me well!

With apologies for the massive delay to this post (I had some other things happening in life), here is my second gallery for the Tour of Britain 2014. This is the gallery for stage 8b – the circuit race around London. You can see my pictures from stage 8a – the time trial here.

Afterwards I had a quick look at previous times and realised I could also do quite well, which would be nice. Continue reading Bridge Triathlon – Race report
It doesn’t seem long ago that I was posting about my first triathlon season, let alone staring down the barrel of my second! But already in January it is time to start entering races and planning the season ahead. Continue reading Triathlon Season 2014 and New Year’s Resolutions
