It’s been a week of rowing, rowing and more rowing as I’m away for the weekend. To balance it out I took the bike to Guernsey with me. Years ago I’d have though a lap of the island to be a day trip yet today it’s 25ish mile circumferance seemed like a warm up. Two laps before breakfast tomorrow I think!

I love this bike, some would say too much with the amount of time I spend maintaining it! But if I'm going to be going 50mph down a mountain I want to know its in good shape.

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
