Everyday

In June 2022 I took on the inaugural Transalp 1200, a bike ride through northern Italy, Austria and Slovenia. The 1250km event started and finished in Verona and took in the South Tirol, the Sillian and Julian Alps along the way.

Golf

A round golf today, only my second outing of the year but the old magic made a brief reappearance. I’d stopped playing the game around 15 years ago, too frustrating and time consuming, cycling offered a more binary reward for effort exercised. It was a trip to the Ryder Cup in Paris back in September 2018 that got me back to the sport, we played a couple rounds prior to spectating for a day. You don’t get to see much of that game but for atmosphere and pure partisan enthusiasm there are few sporting events that can match it.
