About
About me
I bought my first motorbike to get to work and rode it up into the mountains on the first free weekend. Nobody told me how beautiful the roads were or how cold the passes get, so I wrote down everything, and that notebook became these videos.
I am not a racer. I ride slowly, stop often, drink a lot of tea and film what I see. My bike is small and old, and it has taken me round the same loop more times than I can count.
Each Saturday there is a new video: a whole loop, a quiet road, a stop worth the detour or a bag I packed. The guides and courses are what I would have loved to have in my own first year.
