I'm Joel. I love cycling, often with a good friend, usually involving big hills and strong coffee, invariably involving sweet treats. I love exploring new places, learning what makes a place unique and finding out about it's history. I also love writing about it, sharing the best roads and rides with fellow cyclists and creating this journal to look back on. And when the kids ask what I do with my time when they're at school, I can simply point them here. Put all of that together and you have this website. Whether a resource for your next holiday, or simply an armchair escape. Enjoy!​
