Confrontation Day
I like to stay fit. That’s probably apparent through the more than occasional posts about cycling. I look very healthy, especially at the moment as I have been taking advantage of a good spring and spending a lot of time…
Category Living With Multiple Sclerosis
My personal reflections on Multiple Sclerosis. Good days and bad days, preferably the former.

The Englishman Who Rode a Bike in Belgium
I already posted that 2018 would be the year of just one challenge. It is something already very special for me, the whole experience of Liege-Bastogne-Liege. I don’t expect everyone to understand that, you just have to trust me on…
Back to Liege – The Challenge for 2018
Last year I rode Liege-Bastogne-Liege and, as I sat and ate a huge pizza the night after and drank too many Belgian beers I thought to myself… ‘Never Again’. Never again….. So, in a fit of absolute stupidity, I have…
