Thanks go out to Eric Wynn for these cracking shots taken at Clearwater. Having long admired his snaps of top athletes from many a major race around the US, it is nice for me to be caught by his lens also.
Somewhere around about the half way point - one of the few sections not amongst [...]
I’m home, I’m unpacked (well, the bike can well and truly stay where it is for a little longer, let’s not get carried away) and feeling a lot closer to human after the travel. Therefore I have had some time to reflect properly and objectively about Clearwater at the weekend. I still stand by my initial [...]
I’ll take some inspiration from Conrad here after his own World Championship experiences last month - sometimes you give you’re all and it’s just not enough. I’ll write more about my thoughts on the race soon, probably once I am home in Stirling.
However, for this evening at least, where there might not be a top ten [...]

Finally, it’s nearly time to race. We arrived here in Clearwater yesterday morning and got settled in. The weather is certainly very un-Floridian (so the ‘locals’ say) at the minute - yesterday was remarkably chilly and the wind continues to blow with some strength today. I’d be happy for it to create a bit of [...]
Clearwater is fast approaching - its Tuesday night here in Florida as I write, and yet it seems much closer to kick off. I’m starting to get that simultaneously ‘excited and nervous’ feeling, which is good and bad. - Good that i’m feeling it, but bad that there are 3 more days for it to [...]
I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog! - I couldn’t resist a link to some memerable ‘Dumb and Dumber’ quotes …. its’ potentially my most favourite film (i know, but it is) and therefore I can’t help but laugh (generally out loud) to myself each time I head off down the driveway [...]
Last week when I had a wander around Lance’s bike shop here in Austin, Mellow Johnny’s, I took the below picture of this even more famous picture. I have it framed on my wall at home in fact. I see it every morning when I wake up for swimming. - Sometimes it doesn’t work I am [...]
These pictures are kindly provided by Ramon Serrano, who was snapping away on Saturday.
Glat to get to the finish inside the top 10.
Bravo!
