The end of the road

A year in 20 photographs 20/20 – the end of the road on the Hebridean Way

The Butt of Lewis is quite literally the end of the road on the Hebridean Way.

Over the last 20 days, I have posted photographs from many of my adventures this year. It has been great fun looking through these photos and choosing what to write to accompany the images. A recurring theme has been friendship. Riding a bike is an activity suitable for all ages. Throughout my life, I have had many solo adventures, but many of the most memorable times have been shared with others.

In all aspects of my cycling career, from coaching to guiding, I have made many friends. Every cycling holiday that I guide on I come away with new memories. It may be a brief conversation with one guest at dinner, or something funny, or dramatic that has happened during the week. Sometimes, it is things like sharing a sunset over a beach or sitting with others on a shore watching otters play on the rocks. Often it is long-lasting friendships. Looking through all these photographs from cycling adventures in 2024 has been a pleasure and even more so being able to share them with you.

To each and every one of you, whether you ride a bike, support me in my cycling ventures, or just enjoy following what I do through the pictures I take, I wish you all the best for 2025.
