An epic year of rides dodging the British weather most of the time and catching the full wrath of it on other rides.
A trip was needed to collect a battery, I decided to pick it up on the bike. Catching the train to Abergavenny I rode the NCR 46, the route threw up a few historical surprises.
Spectacular mountain views through the Caerau forest, finishing the ride through the Majestic Margam park, with a castle setting in the sun all to myself.
Bibury is the most photographed village in the UK and I fell for the hype. Though if you read the ride there are many more Cotswold villages equal to it.
North Wales ‘roofed’ the world, we ride passed some huge slate mountains. I always love North Wales, and it never fails to relax me like no other part of the country.
Operation Overlord was better known as D-Day and I rode across Normandy almost on the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the end of the second world war.
The Settle to Carlisle railway line is one of the most impressive scenic railways in the country. The weather was horrendous, it was so cold and the wind was relentless.
This ride we follow a passage through the highland Scottish Loch’s, joined together by the Caledonian canal, from the North Sea to the North Atlantic
