Today’s ride was a very special one! I rode for 81 miles at good pace in a group ride along with John, a Zwift’s legend that was celebrating its 81th birthday. There was a really great ambiance there and we all had a good time and fun. I will...

Very early ride this morning with a total of 117km that brought me into Scottish territory and although Hadrian’s Wall might have marked the border between Britannia and Caledonia, it lies a long way south of the current country border. Scotland’s only land border, the divide now spans the...

Back on the bike after two days of rest, today’s 57km brought me very close the Scottish’s border after a total of 1121km since Lane’s End. In fact I reached Hadrian’s Wall and as any proud Scot will tell you, the Romans never made it there. Here are some...

Two days of rest / today is rest (pick the one of your choice, they both apply) in my LeJog challenge journey (Day#15) and that makes a good opportunity for explaining to you the application I use along my smart trainer (see my virtual bike setup if you haven’t...

Today (LeJog Day#14) is a rest day to let my body recover of all these miles I covered for the past two weeks. I wanted to share a short video that I believe is well made to explain the current trend of deforestation, its effects but also the fact...

Rode for 117km today and yesterday making the total distance more than the symbolic bar of 1000km, and passed the 60% milestone which was rewarded by the Conqueror with a third tree being planted! I am now just on the border of Lake District National Park. It’s so beautiful...

As promised in part 1 of today’s journey, here are the information and postcards of the remaining points of interest, Bradford and Yorkshire Dales National Park. Bradford was a hive of industry in the 19th century, and plentiful employment encouraged widespread immigration, particularly from Ireland, and also a significant...

I made it through the night in the Sherwood forest, nor Robin Hood nor the Sheriff disturbed my sleep 😉 Today I rode for 144km, broke through the symbolic 50% of the whole journey barrier which made pass through a lot of places and such I decided to divide...

Reached 802km, today’s ride (84km) made me pass through Leicester, Nottingham and the well know Sherwood Forest which has an even very special meaning since it’s directly linked to the cause I am supporting « The Forest ». Speaking of which I would like to thanks very much another supporter who...

This short video from the WWF Living Planet Report 2020 (EN – FR) page, in an effort to raise awareness about the current world situation it gives us facts and key messages like « NATURE IS OUR ALLY / NOT OUR ENEMY » and « WE TAKE FROM IT FASTER THAN IT...
