At last the nice weather is here. Hope you're getting plenty of riding done. I'm managing to, finally. One of the attractions of becoming a cycling journalist was the opportunitiy to do more riding and maybe even race. It didn't happen. When you set up a new business 101 things you never thought of need doing instead. But now that I'm more established I've been riding more and am looking forward to trying a race or two in August.

I'm also looking forward to the pubication of my sixth book, Tour Climbs, out on 2nd June 2008.

I'm as busy as ever with magazine work. Here is a picture of Marcin Bialoblocki doing an up and coming Cycling Weekly Ride.

I've also just finished writing the WH Smith's guide to the Tour de France, which will be out in June, as well as the Men's Fitness 'Bookazine' covering how to get fit by swimming, cycling and running, in which I wrote the cycling section.
