Just as soon as we thought Summer was here, the three days of 25 degrees Celsius were followed by more than ten days of not even passing 12 degrees Celsius! So there went the nice weather, and it was back to leg warmers and long gloves and thermals! So I am still having some trouble [...]

Summer is here, and today marked the first day where I was able/willing to ride without my leg/knee warmers! Talk about crazy Belgians, I think it got to 23 Celsius today, and everyone was walking around in singlets and shorts, there were people sunbaking on balconies, and all over the place.

Ok, I have been trying to figure this out all day, but with no luck! I want to put a bunch of photos up here, but I can’t figure it out. The crazy thing is, there is one that works, and it is so cheesy! If there is anyone who knows a bit about computers, [...]

Maybe a slow bang at that, but nevertheless, a BANG! Yes, the update took a while, but again, with good reason! Keally and I have just moved into a new apartment over here, and of course, it doesn’t come with free, or readily available internet! So we now have internet, and I now have a [...]

Howdy everyone! Once again I have returned to my useless ways, but you have to understand how hectic everything has been! I started this post in September, before we started the Franco-Belge race, and it has taken me until now to sit down at a computer long enough to complete the entry… Most of you [...]

Not too much of an interesting post really, but a couple of interesting photos! The internet has been a bit of a no-go for me recently, hence the lack of posts. The wireless thingy on my computer stopped working, so when I wanted to use the internet, I had to wait till the other guys [...]

Howdy readers. I just had an article written about me for the new Australian website, ozcycling.com Here it is for anyone interested in having a read: http://www.ozcycling.com/newsarticle/index.html?article=234&page=1 I am a little bit shy about being interviewed, and slightly amazed that anyone is interested in interviewing me, but all the same, it was nice. It will [...]
