In the Autumn of 2025, I cycled 1000km, from Lake Geneva in Switzerland, over the Alps and down through Rhone-Alpes, Provence and Occitanie. My ride took me down to, and along the Mediterranean coast and then west towards the border with Spain and the Pyrenees. It was a great cycle, firstly with friends and then solo beyond Alpe d’Huez to Carcassonne. Come with me, from the mountains to the coast, through some of France’s greatest scenery.

It is difficult to write anything about Venice that has not been said before; “Venice is Eternity Itself”, said Joseph Brodsky. To some extent that is true, but on the occasion of my birthday, I thought it would be nice to take my dad for a bit of bonding time. What could possibly go wrong?

Imagine you are working somewhere new for a few days. Would you watch TV in a hotel or go out exploring? I was in Glasgow for a few days so took advantage of Brompton cycle hire to get out on 2 wheels each evening. Join me as I cycle around this great city!
