Three cyclists riding side by side on a wet forest road

Life on two wheels

Cycling is my hobby, and these are three of my favourite rides.

Why I ride

Cycling is my favourite way to switch off, see new places and test myself. Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to ride some memorable routes. These three are the ones that stay with me.

From one capital to another, with a Channel crossing and the French countryside in between.
