Due to the weather I did lots of rides on the roadbike & the ride that stood out was the "ride with brad" sportive.On the mountainbike we got a sunny day in the dales.

My highlight of 2012 has to be my week in the Alps in July, my first time there, with 2 days riding down the trails on Les Deux Alpes on our xc bikes amongst all the DH lads! It was about the only time this year that I got to ride a dry, dusty trail! That week was also my road biking highlight, as we climbed Alpe D'Huez, and the Col du Galibier.

Great stuff!

My highlights were the LeJog I rode in July, and the West Highland Way in a day, which was in May.
