A dull post about how everything was terrible

This really is going to be boring. It's purely some notes about what went wrong on the Mersey Roads 2026, so I don't forget. It was bloody awful BTW. Reaching 400 miles was the bare minimum I was aiming for (my 2014 total was 383) but I crashed completely at around 3am and grovelled round …

24hr Garage People: 400km Audax from Crewe

I've long held a suspicion that Nigel Blackwell out of that Half Man Half Biscuit either is an audaxer, or should be. There's something slightly obsessive, odd and solitary about audaxing which seem to fit and he's definitely a cyclist. Not that I know the chap, of course. For all I know he could be …

Floris? Who the f*ck is Floris?

https://videopress.com/v/l3W4ILJe?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Well, its over. A premature end but still one hell of an adventure. There's a lot to digest and now isn't the time for a proper write-up, but Team Less Cargo played a blinder. It was great.

About me

Hello, I'm Chuffy. Another chubby middle-aged bloke who rides bikes. I've been riding long distance for over 20 years, but my fitness, fatness and enthusiasm wax and wane, so my forays into the really long stuff have been sporadic. I did an SR series in 2012, LEL in 2013 and the Mersey Roads 24hr TT in 2014. In 2022 I lost shedloads of flab and got back on the bike properly, but life got in the way. This year I'm back on it and determined to make a decent stab at LEL, another SR series and the Mersey Roads in 2026. Reasonable goals for a mediocre athlete, but perhaps something other people can relate to!
