Looking for a new place to scratch up your sliders? Then read on, dear reader…
You can’t beat chilling by the pool with a cold beer in hand after a hard day’s scratching. It’s one of my favourite pastimes… after croquet and crosswords. But it’s often an elusive proposition for a lot of us, because it typically means travelling to faraway lands where that great golden ball in the sky flourishes like syphilis during Freshers Week. And reaching such exotic destinations costs both time and money, which aren’t always there for the spending. So what are your alternates? Stay at home and do nothing? Or how about making the most of what you’ve got on tap?
Holiday at home
If you’re reading this, chances are you live in the UK. And if you live in the UK, chances are you’ve seen first-hand how brilliant we have it for biking. Okay, the weather’s not always scorchio but it does have its moments, and when that sun comes out you can pretty much get to any corner of this super sexy Ilse in under a day. While I’m all up for hitting the Continent, or trekking even further if my mother will let me, I’m also a huge fan of exploring Great Britain. The real question is where to go? In the 13 years I’ve been a journo I’d like to think I’ve covered a pretty good chunk of this country, but there’s still so many gems of places just waiting to be discovered.

DAN LINFOOT THE WORLD AT HIS FEET...
The racing world is full of characters who generally like to keep themselves to themselves, and I respect that. However, some of these people have a great story to tell. I'm incredibly fortunate to be friends with a few, have access to many more, and through my role with the award-winning podcast Chasin' the Racing, I get to sit down and chew the fat with some amazing individuals, so I wanted to give you lovely bunch a peep through the keyhole and an opportunity to get to know a bit more about some of these 'people of interest'.
ROSSI'S RANCH - LA 100KM DEI CAMPIONI
It's not every day you get the invite to trade paint, drifts and stories with Rossi and a bunch of world champions, but that's how life played out for the Neave twins a few weeks back.
RATING RUBBER...
We love a tyre launch, and especially ones of a sporty disposition. So when Michelin dropped us a line about not one, but two additions to their range, we didn't need our arm twisting to get stuck in and see what they're all about...

Steve Parrish
I'm fresh back from the South African Classic TT races and Christ, it's still bloody raining over here.
Christian Iddon
Well, my last column was all about just how I'm going to be the most prepared I could ever be for the season ahead.
SHOEI X-SPR PRO
I'll cut to it... when it comes to my kit, I don't mess around - especially when it comes to helmets.
