That’s the time it took for Spartacus to complete and win this year’s Tour of Flanders. A quick recap, starting from that awesome last climb where he dropped Sagan. More to come from him this year? I’m hoping he’ll be … Continue reading

Lamborghini Anyone?
Seems to me like BMC is the team to race for these days! Someone has negotiated an awesome budget increase. Who’s in?
Climbing through Europe: Mont Ventoux
The big one. Rather The Big One. One of the most feared and fearsome rides that there is. One to be respected. One to be ridden.

Finally back on the bike after 6-days off. It wasn’t only Christmas and the usual excesses that kept away from some of Europe’s most desirable climbs: I was also totally out for the count for 36-hours.
Sprinting through Europe: Salzburg World Championships 2006
I opted for another varied course today as opposed to battling it out on more vertical slopes for kilometre after kilometre. This time it was a section of the 2006 World Championship course in Salzburg.

Climbing through Europe: Santa Lucia-Pocol
For the first time on my European tour we are in the Dolomites, and stunning it is too. Well, a mountain is a mountain, especially on this 23″ LCD screen that I am pedalling in front of, but still, bloody … Continue reading
Climbing through Europe: Montée de Saint Lary Soulan
Honestly, this was not a climb I knew. Certainly it would probably not make the top ten list of European climbs if you asked an amateur enthusiast at any rate. Perhaps someone more ‘in the know’ might have it as … Continue reading

Climbing through Europe: Col du Tourmalet
If ever there is a climb that is synonymous with pain and suffering, the Col du Tourmalet is it. At 6,939ft it is the highest road in the central Pyrenees and I wish I could say that it felt like … Continue reading
Climbing through Europe: Col de Peyresourde
My second documented climb takes me to the Pyrenees and a mountain pass on the border of the Haute-Garonne and Haute-Pyrénées in France: le col de Peyresourde.
