The End of the Road is not Quite Rio
Here we are at our last cycling day. How did that come around so quickly? The wet towels and swimming costumes we’d hung on the covered line were wetter this […]
Just One More Hill and a Caipirinha Masterclass
After almost inviting a relapse by eating two slices of pizza for dinner (but still no beer), I woke up this morning feeling 80% better, and looking forward to a […]
Brazil Broke Me
Today Brazil finally got the upper hand. The over-exertion the day before (you read about the new Bastard Grade hill, right?) coupled with dehydration, sickness, a bad night following a […]
New Hill Classification – B*****d Grade
It’s official. You heard it here first. A new classification of hill grade has been identified and it’s the Bastard Grade. Today’s cycle started out well enough – we would […]
Four Beaches, 90km, Two Hills and an Aborted Bridge Crossing
An early 0715 start is no problem at all when you’ve been awake since 0120 because your silly body clock thinks it should still be on Turkish Time which is […]

Ranthambore Tiger Tales – Cycle Day 3
Is any further explanation really required? We came. We cycled. We saw a tiger. Or, at least half of us did. When you are staying in one of the largest […]
Knights in Shining Lycra – Cycle Day 2
It’s a 70km ride up hill and down dale today. Well, up one hill and down one hill. No dales. The hill came upon us early on which was a […]
Fat Bottomed Girls Ride Their Bicycles – Cycle Day 1
Finally the day dawns. We have come 4200 miles from London to cycle through Rajasthan from Jaipur to Agra. This is what I’m excited about. The group are probably pretty […]
And the Adventure Begins
Well, I’m here in Heathrow T4 with a gin. It was gin or coffee, and so after no thought at all I headed into Cafe Rouge for what I suspect […]
Packed and Ready
The time has come. It’s the Sunday before I leave for India and today is packing day. I am lucky in as much as by packing today Nige will bring […]
