It is sure to be a fantastic holiday and I wish it would come sooner but good things come to those who wait,or so I am told!.

For me growing up they were the only way to get directly to the small places in the UK that I frequented but now they are the only choice that I make as they are modern,clean,safe & efficient and I have yet to be on board a service that is late arriving into its destination.

Being a cyclist public transport in the UK is not very friendly towards us especially on trains but with my padded bike box I can pretty much go to London Victoria and reach any destination in Europe within a days travel by the coach and know that my luggage will be safe and secure and exactly how I left it when I stepped on board!.

In the past 12 months I have taken 3 overnight services on the National Express Coaches to Scotland,an overnight service to the Republic of Ireland and countless trips to other UK destinations and found them faultless so it has been the obvious choice for me to book all of my events for 2012 by coach including the Tour of Flanders in Brussels,my camping trip to the Shetland Islands via Aberdeen and my month long tour around Norway & Sweeden with their European branch called Eurolines!.

If you want to save some money but still travel in style why not make a New Years resolution to travel by coach,it might be the best thing you\'ve ever done! :)

In case you do not know what I am talking about,the virtual cycling challenge is basically to pick a geographical point in the world and work out the distance to London as the crow flies and then tally up all of the miles that I cycle in any form i.e commuting,races,training etc and add them towards the grand total until I reach my destination.

The first virtual cycle to start 2012 off will be from London,United Kingdom to South Georgia,Antarctica which is 5,343 miles.

Stay tuned for progress updates.

The Tour of Flanders may seem quite far away in March but it\'s not and it will be a race against time to get some practice in the legs and shed off some of the extra weight gained by over indulging on those glorious mince pies over the festive period!.

More details about the event and the scheduling to come very soon!.

Thank you very much for your continued support especially during 2011 which was a particularly difficult year,

After the success of Sunday\'s Isle of Wight ride I plan on easing off a little for the next month or so and using the upcoming holiday season to recharge the batteries and get back to full strength with the confidence that my form is where I want it to be so that I can go into 2012 ready to tackle the Tour of Flanders in March with everything that I have!.

As usual stay tuned for more updates,info & general news over the festive season.

Don\'t eat too many mince pies!.

It had two routes with the epic route consisting of 62 miles in and around the Isle of Wight with some absolutely spectacular coastal views,long & gradual but also enjoyable climbs as well as a few short steep ones to get the juices flowing!

I targeted this event as my comeback ride as due to one reason or another I  have had a bad run of event withdrawals and cancellations in the middle to later part of 2011 so I was unsure of my form and although I felt good I needed to try it on the road properly against the clock and that\'s exactly what I did!.

As per usual in the sportive world the event had 3 finishing standards of Gold/Silver & Bronze and I managed to set a time of 4 hours and 15 minutes  putting me high up into the Silver time bracket and frustratingly just outside of the Gold standard by 7 minutes! Those 7 minutes will linger in my mind for quite a while to come as it was so close but I cannot complain as I rode hard and gave it my all and it proved that I was in the form that I thought I was and I felt great on the road.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the day & went home more pleased than I am able to describe with the result as it actually topped all of my past results,not bad for a comeback eh?

So far I have signed up for the Etape Caledonia,Etape Pennine,Etape Hibernia,The Tour of Flanders and the Wiggle Cornwall Tor.

More events are sure to follow in the next few months.

Unfortunately I will no longer be participating in the 2011 Levi Granfondo due to personal circumstances but the good news is that I feel as though I am in the best cycling form of my life at the moment so to test that I have signed up for the Isle of Wight loop cycling event in December!.

I have begun to plan out my 2012 cycling schedule with the Tour of Cornwall and the Etape Caledonia already confirmed so stay tuned for future updates and more details as and when they become available and as always follow me on Twitter to keep up to date with the very latest news.
