I’m a cycling tragic, in every sense of the word. I love my bike, and ride it every day. But I’m also still coming to terms with the loss of my sister Mary and great friend Pete, both killed in a cycling accident in 2013. This is my blog about life, love and cycling.

These next few weeks will document my greatest cycling adventure yet. On May 9th 2014, I’m embarking on a 1050-mile trip from John O’Groats to Land’s End to help raise money in memory of Mary and Pete, and to retrace much of the route they took on their own end-to-end back in 2008. I’ll be joined by my great friends Geoff Curtis and Andrew Bailey – and anyone else who fancies a bit of a ride – and will be documenting our exploits here.
