🚲 If you noticed that I fell off the grid, luckily, I didn't fall anywhere else.

I am still going strong on my Albanian #bikechallenge, with 290km completed (3000m ascent) and only 70km left.

(Well, strong is a lie. But cycling solo = the leader of the pack 🤣)

Just ran out of wifi.

The weather's improving, and so is my fitness. But the cycling selfie skills still have a long way to go... 🤣

Into the final countdown to the Albanian cycling challenge. 10 days to go.

It took a little while to sink in but I'm so grateful to be shortlisted for an Inspire Global media award.

Let's face it, it's always lovely to be shortlisted but these awards are all the more special because they promote travel in a responsible manner.

I still can't believe I did this.

In a bid to get my fitness back, I signed up for a cycling trip in early April. 50-70km/ day. Tickets booked.

I'm up to a whopping, erm, 18km so far and each time I'm on the bike, my eyes are streaming.

I think it's because of the cold. But...

Here's what I've been working on lately: What's new in ancient Egypt?
