Circuit Rider’s review of the year

In line with this blog’s long tradition of breaking the mould, I’ve decided to end 2010 by doing exactly what every other blogger is doing at the moment, i.e. writing a review of the year.

Happy Christmas

Just a quick post at this hectic time of year to wish you all a Happy Christmas, whether you celebrate it with fried carp on Dec 24 (like the Czechs) or with roast turkey on Dec 25 (like the Brits) or both ways (like me!).

All the best,

Simon

Stage 2 on Bikemap.net

I've now added my Stage 2 route to Bikemap.net. Stage 3 will follow soon.

I particularly dig the way the bicycle icon travels along the route when you run the mouse cursor over the elevation profile. Nice!

Christmas present ideas for cyclists

Yes, the festive season is upon us. Snow is blanketing the country and I’m suffering from my first post-Christmas-party hangover. It’s time to squeeze this blog into its Santa suit and bring you a sackful of Christmas gift ideas for cyclists. Ho ho ho!
