Posted October 29, 2021 in 2021 Trans Am by Mark Croker 0 Comments

Thursday June 10, 2021: Given that I had hit the sack last night with the mind set of possibly taking a rest day, I had not packed my bags and I had not set an alarm. I woke gently from a very satisfying slumber at...

Posted October 10, 2021 in 2021 Trans Am by Mark Croker 2 Comments

Tuesday June 8, 2021: Day 1 sucked. Day 2 was better. What would Day 3 bring I pondered to myself as I faffed around my hotel room. Ablutions, leftover gas station vittles, packing up and getting dressed. All conducted at a snails pace with ample interruptions...

Monday June 7, 2021: Up and at em' just after 5am. Not as early as was the pre-race plan for "up and at em's" but that plan was very much on ice for the time being. Given how crap I felt yesterday it was going...

Trans Atlantic Way Day 9 and 10 Report

Posted February 26, 2020 in 2019 Trans Atlantic Way by Mark Croker 4 Comments

I AM WRITING A BOOK

Yes I blogged about my 2017 Trans Am experience but there is so much more to be said. It is taking a while but it is absolutely going to get done. Should you want to receive updates on how the book writing is going please sign up below.

About Me

Hi, my name is Mark and I am a cyclist, a MAMIL Cyclist. I ride my bike whenever and wherever I get the chance. It is the means by which I keep my recalcitrant waistline under relative control. It is my hobby. It is my passion. It is my therapy. It now feeds my creative outlet in the form of this blog.

That is the short story, the longer (much longer) story is here.
