Hong Kong – Mount High West and Victoria Peak Loop
What an absolutely bizarre, beautiful run! Brooding clouds adding to the 90% humidity made it difficult but absolutely worth the pain to do this run – especially if beautiful out!

Australia – Perth – Bold Park – Yoorn, Pine and Zamia Tracks
Bold Park is a great little oasis near the coast. Although the trails are mostly paved, you feel like you’re in the wilderness even through you’re in the middle of suburbs.
Var by Velo 32 – Les Maures Sauvages
Another bucket list ride – been working up to this one for a while and finally ticked it off. Good weather and an early start for this tour of the Maures and some of the region’s best climbs!
Europe – France – Sainte Maxime – Col de Valdingarde
This is such an amazing ride – you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere all by yourself. Road surface is….not great….but the climbing and the vistas are exceptional. Be aware that the road can close during the summer fire season.
California – Cold Springs Tavern
Cold Springs Tavern is an absolute classic. Pair a nice long Sunday run in the Santa Ynez Recreation Area with a nice long Sunday session with music, epic Tri Tip sandwiches and a beer or two!
Europe – France – Sainte Maxime – Les Foulees Maximoises
Fantastic half marathon along the coastline. In January, it was cold and beautiful. Only downside? Not knowing it was two laps before starting out!
Portugal – Cascais – Estoril to Praia Grande
Fantastic ride through Sintra National Park past Cabo de Roca and the Colares wine region. Turn point on the spectacular Praia Grande.
Var by Velo 12 – Golfe de Saint-Tropez
Fantastic ride through the Saint-Tropez area, including the spectacular Col de Canadel overlooking the Med and the Iles d’Hyeres.
Europe – France – Grimaud – Les Dalles
Random trail that I wanted to explore – the Jaumet section was…average. The Les Dalles section (a MTB/VTT trail so heads up!) was spectacular on a great day.
Europe – France – Nice – Prom’Classic 10k
Fun run in Nice along the La Promenade des Anglais. Second time we’d done the race and much cooler this time. Fun even and well attended. Plus got a brilliant rainbow when home.
