Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Bergs, Cols, Passos, Sierras, Altos and Picos. After our seven months Grand Tour of Europe. I find myself back in Australia. It is nice to be back and I can't wait to get back on my bike. My last ride was in Spain, over two weeks ago and although we have been slowing down since we got to Portugal, my legs seem to be feeling the effects of non-riding and are now holding protests with massive cramps in the middle of the night. Work that one out. Call me a cycling-gourmand.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Winter riding and winter training. Keeps telling me that I don't really know what I am signing up for when I plan to ride a bike in Europe, in March. She is not talking about cobbles or steep roads, she is talking about winter riding. The memories of filling one of my drink bottles with hot tea and honey for the early rides to Park Road. And as far as winter training goes, I might just leave that for the pros. Monday, January 23, 2012. Congratulations Green Edge Cycling. Unfort...

Cycling Blog by AMR: December 2011

Friday, December 30, 2011. New PB. but just a commute. I suppose leaving the house 20 minutes late, at 4:35 am, helped. I didn't go all out at any stage of the ride. In fact, I was too relaxed at the start as I rolled down the first hill and towards the magnificent sunrise. Work didn't matter for those first minutes. I bet I can! I replyed, keeping a steady pace. It was a steady ride. A nice ride to work. Dist: 13.5 km. Av HR: 152 bpm. Av Cad.: 83 rpm. Monday, December 26, 2011. As we approach the new ye...

Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Heaven or hell of the North. It is cool and grey in Antwerpen. It is wet. It is an early spring Belgium day, I dare. The planned ride under the Schelde and around the town has been put on hold. We are happy to sit in our little mobile home and do a bit of house work. But first. But one thing changed as I got on the bike that morning, I felt like going as fast as I could on the cobbles, just like Kelly and did. Time to race like Kelly. One problem, one drink-bottle was gone. The n...

Cycling Blog by AMR: Hope you are well!
http://amrcycling.blogspot.com/2012/07/well-this-is-good-time-to-say-quick-hi.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. Hope you are well! Well, this is a good time to say a quick. The blogging got to a stop after the. To Roubaix. I guess there was no. After that, just riding. Bloody good riding! Cycling in Europe has been a fantastic experience, and we have done so many rides and climbed so many mountain passes that they started to blend into one big journey. Add another million visual and cultural impressions and I am finding it too difficult to put it all in simple words. Welcome to AMR Cycling.

Cycling Blog by AMR: Visiting the "Eddy Merckx" factory
http://amrcycling.blogspot.com/2010/08/visiting-eddy-merckx-factory.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Visiting the "Eddy Merckx" factory. Often, and particularly when watching the sun rise, I try to imagine how the surf would be like. An old desire of having been born in Hawaii and not Copacabana usually comes to mind. When I left Brian's place that day, I knew that he, also, should have been born elsewhere. Somewhere in Europe, perhaps in Belgium. Welcome to the factory! Displayed on another piece of furniture was a 56T chainring. I think the one he used for the 1974 Grafto...
