Ripples in the pond

For the last while, I didn't know what to do, what to say, how to say it... and I didn't feel like I had a story to tell. No. That's not right. I didn't feel like I had the story that I wanted to tell.

Will lab rat for data

If you were given the chance to get a lab test on your heart and your fitness, would you take it up? Or is it better, as well as less confrontational, just riding on feel. I took the opportunity to get myself tested, but I wasn't quite prepared for how I'd react to it. Warning: this post contains data.

A lot of recovery with some riding in between

The Audax Super Randonneur award was established by Audax Club Parisien in 1977. It consists of a Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux series: 200 km, 300 km, 400 km, 600 km, all completed in the same Randonneur year. Or, in this case, in one four week block.

It’s not often (okay, it’s like never) that I let people see into what I refer to as Wonderland... which is my own personal madness. So this podcast is way outside my comfort zone. But it’s an important conversation to have. Because mental health doesn’t discriminate. And we all need to work together to break the stigma. So have a listen... and please be gentle with your feedback.

Awkwardly Gritty: PODCAST

Gulp. Here it is... 🎤🎧🙈 As you’ll get from the podcast intro it’s pretty ... real. Before recording this I'd had feedback from other athletes that no one really talks about the gritty stuff. So here’s the gritty. Ps: it’s not a race Pps: use headphones

First post PBP Interview

Making someone face palm mid-interview is a gift, right? Questions in this video included: why do you ride a bike? What's the deal with white wine vinegar? Will you ever come back to racing? What was it like having your family with you during PBP? And of course: What's next?
