Adrian Jones Cyclist
If I close my eyes and think of Adrian, who do I see? I remember a quiet, unassuming man who got on well with everyone. He was very polite and underneath that polite exterior was a steely determination to do well, something I found out many times when he beat me in bike races, not that I minded as I had my moments as well.

The Western Isles
It was a trip that didn’t disappoint despite the northerly wind which resulted in a head wind most of the way. I am grateful for Justin’s hospitality at Tolsta and I am still in touch with him, 18 years after this journey and not far of 40 years since, as a teenager he was part of a school expedition I led to the French Alps.

Life was busy and it was hard to find training time. Continue reading My return to racing after 25 years
Graham Weigh Cycle Renovation
My dad purchased his Graham Weigh frame around 1990, made up a bike, and raced on it until 1992 when, at the age of 79, he died in a cycling accident. I inherited the bike together with a lifetimes worth of his cycling bits to add to my own lifetime pile. Continue reading Graham Weigh Cycle Renovation
