In March 2020 when COVID really started to take hold I decided to quit smoking and improve my health further by going for a bike ride. I was lucky that running a computer business was essential work, and so I cycled in every day. I was also giving support to vulnerable people stuck at home and so would cycle then too. I have now cycled 1000 consecutive days and covered 31,000 km. I have cycled in England one day and Chile the next, in France, Germany, and Austria.

I have been supported and encouraged along by my amazing, loving and understanding wife Patricia, and also by a great group of cycling friends, The Jollies, and many others.

I would like to thank Stolen Goat for keeping me warm in winter and cool in summer and 3Brewers for keeping me hydrated. BC Cycles in St Albans have kept me moving, along with the excellent Tasmanian Devil of a mechanic, Ross Mallinson - I am indebted to you all!

I have a photographic diary which I would like to share with you.
