Follow me along The Road To Valour

This is where my blog posts will appear. They will be related to what is near to my heart and to what this project is all about – for the most part. Most of the posts will be written by me, but from time to time I will have guest bloggers post on subjects near to them. If you have a topic that you think bears discussion, let me know. I can try to post on it, or I can hand my pen over to you for your insight.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

  • Christmas: Sometimes, a Moment of Peace in War

    The Road To Valour ride begins in just five months! While I am looking forward to getting this ride started, I have to admit to a certain degree of trepidation. Many people I have spoken with about the ride – all 2,500 km of riding and 14,000 m of climbing – have asked: Will you…

  • I Found it – My Theme Song

    A few days ago, I was streaming some music when something new stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t just catchy—it felt like the message behind The Road To Valour. I had to know what it was. A quick check revealed it was a fairly new song by Glass Tiger. I’ve been a fan of theirs for years—they’re almost…
