As you can see from the above picture of my extremely hirsute legs imposed on a sunny background September saw me returning again to the Spanish island of Mallorca for 3 days of riding in the sun where the roads are mostly smooth and the drivers don't regard you as prey that they have a …

My Month on Bikes – August
Well after a couple of bumper milage months August was a bit of a blowout - just 256.31km total covered, 62.64 on the MTB, 78.96 on the road and a surprising 114.71 indoors on Zwift. Let's get straight into the excuses then.... firstly the start of the month saw the annual family holiday so I …
My Month on Bikes – July
July was another decent month riding wise with a grand total of 493.94 km under the wheels. 329.90km out on the still ludicrously warm and sunny UK roads, and couple of outings on the MTB totalling just 46.60km and a respectable 117.44km indoors on Zwift. I'm still finding Zwift a super effective workout tool as …
My month on bikes – May
Well after promising I'd spend more time on my MTB in last months update post I only managed a single off road excursion in May which saw a measly 30.77km clocked up on the dirt. The total for the month was 325.01km ridden, 58.31km indoors on the Zwift Ride and a respectable 235.93km out on …
My Month On Bikes – April
Yes the monthly update post is back now I'm actually doing enough riding to register on my Strava progress page.... First lets grab the stats: Total ridden - 320.63 km, On road - 224.37km, Off Road - 78.44, Zwift - 17.82km. So I'm pretty happy with that considering the almost total lack of biking action …
My Month on Bikes – November and December
Sorry for the radio silence but it's been a difficult couple of months in the decliningcyclist multiverse. The stats are simple, across the last two months of 2025 I only rode a measly 127.78km all of which were indoors spread across 5 rides on Zwift. In my defence there were a couple of reasons for …
My Month on Bikes – September
Bit of a mixed month last month, the total distance ridden at 444.68km was respectable but it didn't pan out quite the way I planned it. After managing almost 100km off road in August and starting to really feel on top of the Mountain Biking again in September I rode the MTB precisely once for …
My Month on Bikes – July
July totals are a bit down, just 211.59km in total last month, but there are a couple of reasons honestly! Firstly July was firmly the first month of the year when the off road days in the saddle overtook the thin tyre adventures. Now days on the MTB vs on the road are always lower …
All Change On The MTB Front
I'll cut right to the chase, I've replaced my full suspension Mountain Bike with a new ride. Well......I say new but it’s actually older than the bike it replaces, it's certainly had a much harder life and the specification is broadly the same. The path to getting it into my possession and ready to ride …
My Month on Bikes – June
Stats first because everyone loves a good statistic or two, last month I managed a total of 372.20km, of which 295.91km was outdoors and for the second month running this was all on road and mostly on the Sabbath. The remaining 76.29 km were racked up going nowhere fast sweating like an overheated pisshead in …
