Its been another epic year with epic adventures. Over 5400 miles cycled, including Austria, Spain and Australia. Here are my top 10 rides for 2024. The routes are included in the blog.

  | Number 2 Mountain biking in Austria - the trails, the views, the mountains, the gondolas, the strudel!, the warm hospitality of the Austrians, the mountain air and the constant desire to burst into a Julie Andrew’s style “The hills are alive” would bring me back there again and again. |
