I’m leaving Roubaix today 12 days after starting this adventure. One last quick stop at the velodrome to say goodbye to Larry from LA and others I’ve met through the week that made the stay here rewarding. I’m heading to the CitizenM hotel which is supposed to be very close to CDG airport. My plan […]
Read More Friday, 11.10.25 Goodbye RoubaixToday is my last somewhat stressful race day. Like most of the last few days, my event is late in the afternoon so I can have a later alarm, 8:30 but the Airbnb decides on some kind of loud noise from the plumbing I guess I am up at 7:30 instead, thank you so much. […]
Read More Points Race day, last chance in 2025It’s a Sunday in the Nederland’s in the spring, I wonder what we should do. Maybe we should hop in a rental car and do a short drive to a scenic smaller town, walk around some and see if there is anything exciting happening. Yes, sounds good, let’s do it. Claim the car from the […]
Read More Day 17, Valkenburg and Amstel GoldToday is unusual because we plan to visit a town for the second time, Ypres, or Leper. Depending on the language you speak. It is a wonderfully scenic town plus I am determined to find and ride the Kemmelberg cobbled climb. I found a Ride with GPS route that is labeled Kemmelberg Short, must get […]
Read More Day 14, Ypres & Kemmelberg.Today we attempt to negotiate the bus routes and rain routes to get to Oudenaarde, site of the finish of our first Spring Classics, Tour of Flanders. The alarm is set for 7 A.M. which is again entirely too early. I was up for an hour or so in the middle of the night so […]
Read More Day 3, Sunday, Ronde van VlaanderenKimba, major accomplishment on top of more personal accomplishments than I can count. Kimba is the half way point crossing Australia. I’ve ridden all the kilometers from Perth so far, even though I had a major confidence hit back the day we attempted a “camp out” in WA in the Nullarbor. Roughly speaking, we’ve ridden […]
Read More Halfway, Kimba South AustraliaSmoky Bay To Minnipa and back to Highway A1 Highlights and a few lowlights of the day. Mostly highlights! After 1 plus days off recovering, we were rested and ready to be back on the bikes. Alarm at 6, up and breakfast and on the road by about 7:30 as usual to an overcast, cool […]
Read More To Minnipa, 8.17.22. 160kCeduna and Smoky Bay, a partial rest day, moving east towards more populated South Australia with Adelaide in sight, almost! Ceduna, another milestone, located about 1900 kilometers east of our start in Perth and 15 days into the ride. Seems like ages ago, we stopped for an overnight on the drive to Perth, it feels a […]
Read More Ceduna, Smoky Bay, views of South AustraliaThe few days off in Eucla WA/Border Village SA, two road houses/hotels/pub/restaurants straddling the Western Australia and South Australia border was a very welcome time for me, Bushy and Scotty as well, I’m sure. I still think about looking west out over the seabed plain that we crossed to get here. Stark, endless beauty. Didn’t hurt […]
Read More Nullabor Road House and then Nundroo Roadhouse.The start of 2024 gets me thinking that I have neglected adding video and posts about riding across Australia in 2022. You’ve seen video posts from Perth to Eucla, all of Western Australia. With more than a year passed, it’s time to watch and pick the best of the rest of the trip and that […]
