Fat lad beating some skinny kids to the top of a climb in the Cotswolds, UK (2017). It was my home race, so I knew that this was the final bend to be immediately followed by a nice easy descent so could push hard for the last few metres!
Unfortunately they soon hunted me down…

The Ardrock and BPW ones are professional shots. The others are just camera phones.
On my way to second place in this year’s Japan ultra long distance national triathlon championships. A much improved 4th fastest bike split-thanks trainerroad!-helped me massively.
This was taken at our recent cross state championship race. I didn’t win but I did get this cool photo.
Some highlights/lowlights of my 2018 season starting with:
Me being a total moron in a crit, pulling everyone along for about 3 laps… Gave 30 guys a free ride which was very kind of me.
Slightly more sensible, sitting in behind the only guy in the bunch the same size as me!
Right at the end of the end of season hillclimb. Not an event for chunky me!
Taking one of the turns in a 25 mile/40km TT - probably my most satisfying race of the season putting in a 1:02 on road bike with no aero extensions on a rolling course.

Love the action shots from the Cotswolds. I trekked through there last year. It was amazing. You live in a beautiful corner of the world, and the food! I think that is the best kept secret in all of Europe.
Cheers!
Very cool!
Grinta!!! …
hillclimbs are silly things…
nice photos!
While not an action shot I thought I’d share the pic I took of my friend Rick taken at the lighthouse in Mallorca this year. Cycling must be good for you, 70+ still going strong and looking cool!
