My Updates

Downs Link (and a crash) - 60km

Saturday 19th Apr
Gravel ride from Guildford to Shoreham by sea. Intention was to about face and do the return leg as well for 120km in total but crashed heavily not far from Shoreham so bailed and got train home. Cuts and bruises and trashed helmet :(

A Day in Kent - 160km (100 miles)

Wednesday 16th Apr
A tribute to Paris-Roubaix (Day in Hell) - a great circuit from Ramsgate - Canterbury - Ashford - Dover - Sandwich - Ramsgate. Great weather again and plotted the loop so I could ride back with a tailwind. First imperial century ride of the year.

Tour of Flanders 2025 - 128km

Wednesday 16th Apr
Am amazing day on the cobbles on my favourite annual event - weather in the mid 20s, ride went well, my right knee held up, and I got to watch the pros do their thing the following day

Ride Wessex Downs 2025 - 116km

Wednesday 16th Apr
Amazing weather for the time of year - worryingly my right knee 'popped' at the top of the final climb only a few hundred metres from the finish...

Old stomping grounds - 75km

Wednesday 16th Apr

Kentish Killer 2025 - 112km

Kentish Killer - 112km and all is well. Great fun starting and finishing on the Brands Hatch circuit - very nice weather

Hell of the Ashdown 2025 - 100km

Wednesday 16th Apr
Hell of the Ashdown 2025 - 100km and thankfully no rain. Unlike last year my knee held up and I didn't injure myself, which is a start!
