JOGLE Planning
Phew, the JOGLE planning continues. I’d already made route plans, although a few have been amended slightly so that we can finish at certain places for photo shoots and there is the odd detour just to avoid dual carriageways and larger roads. The current routes are Day 1: John O’Groats to Inverness – 118 miles http://www.strava.com/routes/443052...
New Distance Record
My training for JOGLE continues and yesterday I set a new distance record on my bike with a ride through the Snowdonian countryside that ended up being 125 miles. One again it was pretty wet and windy out there most of the time, although it did dry up for a while. From here in Ynyslas...
JOGLE Training – 100 miles of Wet & Windy Welshness

Ready To Go With My New Wheels
My valve extenders have arrived so my new Dymag wheels are on and ready to go – I’m just waiting for the rain to clear up before trying them out. As I said before, they look good on the bike… Especially with the colour coordinated hubs and tyres. Maybe I should go with Red, White...
Dymag Wheels
Check out my new wheels from Dymag Performance Cycle Wheels. Nice hey! Can’t wait to give them a good thrashing at the European Champs in Kitzbuhel. I’ve got a 50m deep section carbon rim up front, 60mm deep section carbon rim on the rear, laced to DT Swiss 240 hubs with Sapim Aero Bladed CX-Ray spokes....
A Ride to Nant y Moch
It was the last day of Half Term and finally I had a day that I could spend with Morgan. So, after a few chores around the house and a little bit of work we headed up to Pendam for a mountain bike ride. Morgan wanted to head out to Nant y Moch, but I wanted...
