This website was about my cycling trip. I took six months leave and am went on a bike ride in Australia, then Japan and the USA. After such a great experience cycling with Cliff in Germany for 10 days I thought I would try it for a bit longer. Then in 2025 we went back to Japan for a shorter amount of time.

So now after returning from my trip over 15 year ago I thought it was time to update my website. I plan to add a few more things to it and carry on with the loo roll section. Maybe I will write some more blogs sometime. I have moved all the blogs from my cycle trip to here Cycle Tour 2011

There is now blogs about loads of different things loo roll, beer, bread, tv recommendations enjoy! 

I am hoping to build this part of the website more all donations needed. 

More general blog type thing can be found here blog.
