Paul Curtis 🏕️🍻

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. (Hemingway)

Miles after of miles of pedalling most of it set to private, but every now and then I will show off and turn an interesting ride public, complete with photos of beers near my bike

Ale & Pie Adventurers 2026. Day 5. Escape from Hell.

The Fires of Hell are cooler than London in a heatwave, the section out to Battersea was excruciating, the heat already rising off the tarmac and being belched out by the cars etc was insane proving our decision to get out of here as quickly as possible was wise. A…

After a lovely crossing and a good night sleep trying to get back from Harwich on a Friday in the extreme heat was looking a challenge. Original plan was to cycle to London, and then train home, but we decided not suffer London on a Friday afternoon with our bikes…
