2 Aussies in Greece
Two Aussies went to Greece to go cycling with a Brit. It sounds a bit like the start of a bad joke, but it isn’t. The back-story. Linda had arranged to meet a friend in Switzerland to celebrate a significant birthday. I felt no pressing need to leave an Australian summer for sub-zero temperatures and […]
Tales of a Randoneur…Brevet North Evia
So, here I am again, writing a blog about another one of my silly ideas. The idea this time was the Audax Brevet “North Evia”. A 200km ride with a total of 3500m of climbing. This would be on paper the hardest ride I’ve ever attempted to date. I first thought about this idea only […]

Travelling with your Bike? Box or bag?
We believe that the familiarity and confidence you get from riding your own bike can really add to your cycling holiday and eliminate any doubts and niggles you may get from a hire bike.
