Journey’s end; Gallipoli’s centro storico back out to the Ionian Sea. As bike trips go this one was a pretty sweet, what Puglia lacked on paper, it made up for in spades in so many different ways; the places in between, the quaint little villages, the bi… ift.tt/32a6npE

Juxtaposed against the historic charm of cities like Lecce, we found several stretches of our journey through Puglia tainted by fly tippers. Household and building waste insensitively dumped on quiet country lanes or outside peoples homes. Left to rot or… ift.tt/2Xh7t46

South of beautiful Lecce our ride traces the rugged coastline. As the days grow warmer and stickier a heat haze rises off the land. Olive groves give way to vineyards. Some packed with grapes, ripe and ready to bear fruit destined for Puglia's famous ric… bit.ly/2Y9tIpm

Away from the busy strada provinciale, we knit together a route through the rolling Valle D'Itria on quiet back roads and the occasional ciclovia linking together the picturesque towns of Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino and Ostuni. S… bit.ly/2x4b9XD

Casting my mind back to 'The Endless Summer' aka 2018. Warm weather, fine food and relaxed lunches amongst plentiful olive groves. Mellow days pedalling slowly south through Puglia. For old school geographers that's the heel of the boot of Italy 🤓 A … bit.ly/2XTKHLX

Loved this shot from @marcogualazzini at the @worldpressphoto exhibition in Amsterdam. An orphaned boy walks past a wall with drawings depicting rocket propelled grenades in Bol, Chad. A sobering reminder of the countless humanitarian crisis across the… bit.ly/2JRw9bQ

Inappropriate bikes in appropriate places. Reaching the top of Nant Rhydwilym the gravel gets bigger and chunkier, most elect to hop off their bikes and push the final hundred metres before signing their name in the guest book underneath the Wayfarer Mem… ift.tt/2uFObF5

A modern day steed for a historic ride. The Wayfarer Centenary Weekend was a cracker, paying tribute to the Wayfarer with a ride 'Over the Top' of the Berwyn mountains aboard the Mike Hall inspired Kinesis AT. A fitting nod to two cycling legends.⁣ .… ift.tt/2U9k6Nm

Sardinia: Easter 2018. Rain lashes the car windscreen, and hail stones tinkle the car's roof like a bell. As the storm begins to pass we pull on our jackets and set off to explore Alghero, through its cobblestoned centre we wander, brace ourselves agains… bit.ly/2GhdGn4

Gift experiences not stuff. Eroica Brittannia with my big brother. A weekend of vintage steel bikes and gravel combined with stellar weather and great company, it remains an absolute stand out highlight of the year. . . . . . . #eroica #eroicabrittania o… ift.tt/2zOknKj
