It's been almost 2 weeks since another amazing adventure with the @radrace team. This time it was 5 days, 4 countries and the best part of 700km with 12000m of climbing. 7 epic mountain passes including the mighty Passo dello Stelvio. I couldn't have done any of it without my amazing team of @quirkcycles @francisccade @danielhughesuk @jakeneale @caralimccall @msmll and @schulzandschulz. Incredibly lucky to have had you all supporting me, pushing me (sometimes literally) and making me laugh every day. Met so many wonderful people and our team kept on growing along the way, usually with @kfir_kachlon and @shaharitooo. Thank you to the awesome crew of rad race for all the organising and love. You've created something incredible and I'm forever grateful to be a part of it. @engelhai @jan_sprunk @mozzer04 @gutenachtjohnboi @jo_fietser thank you for everything you did for me and 400 other riders. The whole team of @liisakiddo @chrisfxd @hiiiilkee @jen.kem @bloooode @beckybiel @atzelette @ferrari_flo @caramelbear_k @finn_competence @fr_schulz @bearmadepancakes @don.seamon @pdkmeansiambetterthanyou @christophmannhardt @christophsteinweg @pvlvs @bjoern.reschabek and everyone else, are what makes the events so special. Thank you to you all. Can't wait for Colombia and the next chance to #doepicshit.

#tbt To the epic @radrace. The crew of 4 @justinlevene @owenldnelf @quirkcycles @francisccade grew to a crew of 400. Beautiful roads. Beautiful people. Such a shame the tags are limited to only 20.
All you #radrace riders add the people in the picture in the comments below so we can share the love!
Can't begin to thank these guys and everyone else enough @engelhai

Where to start... It's been a difficult few months which had made the lead up to this event even more arduous than I had anticipated.
Crossing the Alps and the Dolomites, this epic stage race organised by the awesome team @radrace was one of the most challenging things I have ever attempted.
3 countries. 4 days. 600km across some of the toughest climbs. What began as a journey with 3 friends turned into so much more.
Countless memories and friends made along the way. This wasn't about times or positions, it was about the journey and the experience.
These pictures, from the end of the 12 hours on stage 3, show the true feel and emotions of the event and was my personal highlight. To have all of the riders cheering at the finish line and then surrounding me and the team was a moment that shall be with all of us forever.
Thank you to @engelhai @jan_sprunk and everyone else involved with @radrace
Thank you to @schulzandschulz and @pasidude for all your assistance, support and love along the way.
To @wiebkelueh for entertaining me on the mountains, bike lanes and everywhere in between.
Thank you to Cae @thegolftrust for enabling all of this to happen. I hope that we have done you proud.
And most importantly, @owenldnelf @quirkcycles @francisccade
None of this would have been possible without the 3 of you. The support and jokes meant each day was better than the last. Sad to say goodbye to this journey but we will have many more.

The adventure continues and this time I didn't have to crawl! Spent an amazing day in Jujuy and Purmamarca where I got to see the 7 coloured mountains. Pictures will never do this place justice but this at least gives an idea of its beauty.

I've been in a wheelchair for 7 and a half years and in that time I've faced many challenges. Coming to Argentina I knew accessibility would be an issue but I didn't want that to effect anything I did. When I arrived in Iguazu I was told I couldn't do any of the trails through the rainforest and to the waterfalls. It would be too dangerous for me in my wheelchair and noone had ever done it before. So of course that left me with only one option...be the 1st and leave my wheelchair at the top of a mountain and crawl. For 2 days and 12km I crawled on my hands, dragging my legs behind me. Climbing rocks and getting blisters on my hands from the heat. My lower half is covered with cuts and bruises from the effort. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done but it was worth it for the views I had and the people I met along the way. I hope others take note of my stupidity and do what I did. It will be incredibly rewarding and you'll never forget it. One day I hope I can return to this amazing place.

Awesome weekend with these 2. They smashed the #8barcrit and showed great support for my stupidty in the #berlinmarathon. The race was immensly unpleasant but hardly surprising after doing nothing for the 2months since the crash. It can only go up from here!
Onto the next ride 💪

#fbf It may be summer, but I do miss winter training in my @rapha_uk ninja suit. Hopefully not too long before I'm able to get back on the road and into full training.

Day 3 of no training. Cabin fever is starting to set in. Luckily had a stockpile of images from before the crash. Rest days are needed for improvement though aren't they?

I was run over by an uber yesterday so no training pics until my chair and I are fixed. Here's an old video of me trying clapping pull ups instead 👍
