Futevolei Copacabana
This sport is amazing, never seen or heard of it before my visit to Copacabana beach in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. It’s called Futevolei, roughly translated to football volleyball… You’re allowed to use your head, chest and feet to pass the ball back and forth over the net. Being pretty rubbish at ball control I decided to snap a few picture instead. See a few more on my website here.

Etape Du Tour 2011, Act II
This June, myself and a few friends decided to take on the challenge on the Etape Du Tour, a stage of the Tour De France open for non professionals. It was stage 9 this year, 208km from Issoire – St Flour through the Massif Central region.
The event was sponsored by Rapha and enticed 6000 entrants from across the globe. On the day, 2000 entrants failed to show up, put off by the adverse weather and a further 2000 riders didn’t make the finish line. Miraculously I managed to finish all 208km in a time just over 10 hours, which is a mere 4 and 1/2 hours slower than Luis Leon Sanchez Gil completed it a week earlier with the pros…
Although I was sans camera for the actual event, below are a few shots of our adventures both pre and post etape…
