TABR2017 Countdown 23 days

TABR2017 Countdown 23 days

I’m spreading my gear out and packing my bike up today.  The Trek 520 will be my choice of ride. His name is Capt. Cook, after my old friend Brandon Cook, one of the best bike mechanics I know.

I changed Capt. Cook up a bit and had Jones H Loop bars installed with trigger shifters.  The days of drop bars are over for me due to upper back pain.  Now days I’m into comfy cozy all the way.   My…

02/04/2017 | Be More Mike | Norwich - King’s Lynn

Day 2. Morning starts in sleepy Norwich with eggs and pancakes courtesy of the much-recommended Street Café. Then up to Cromer.

The weather change, as I reach the coast, is brutal. I can barely get through my snack (Crème Egg Rocky Road bar from the aforementioned Norwich establishment) but then hypothermia hits. I’ve got to get inside for a cup of tea before I hit the road again. Five places turn me down flat. You’re not coming in with a bike. No. Finally, blue in the face, I find the Red Lion. Not only do they let me in, they surprise me with a cinnamon swirl. Score!

Thereafter I abandon my plans to go along the coastline and head inland, towards King’s Lynn. Headwind persists, and cars whizz past. I think of Mike Hall and his incredible feats of endurance cycling around the world. Will Transcontinental continue? Suddenly taking risks has lost its appeal. Instead of continuing towards London and risking getting caught in the dark, I call it a day and get on the train.

Coming with me from Norfolk is the skull of a badger, found in the bushes during one of my pit stops. A souvenir, and a memento mori. Keep riding, but above all, stay safe.

01/04/2017 | Be More Mike | London - Attleborough

On Friday, the global randonneur family lost one of its central figures, Mike Hall, who was killed while nearing the completion of the 5500km Indian Pacific Wheel Race. This weekend, cyclists around the world are riding in Mike’s memory. My tribute takes me from London to the Norfolk coast. Stay safe out there, riders!

Little morning roll on this gorgeous #Perth morning down to the north mole lighthouse. Opposite lighthouse to where the Indypac started from just a couple weeks ago. Who knew then what would unfold #rideformike #inspiredbymike #ipwr
