About Me

Hi, I’m John Card.

​I’m a project manager by day, but in my spare time, I’m almost certainly out exploring the roads around Reigate and the wider Surrey countryside. I started this site as a way to document the routes I love, track my progress, and hopefully share some great rides with others in our community.

​My Cycling Journey

I’ve been an active road cyclist for some time—you’ll usually find me riding my 2017 Boardman Road Comp. I’m currently deep in training for the Ride Reigate 100k, a challenge that keeps me focused on building my endurance and refining my pace. Whether I’m tinkering with high-performance upgrades or just looking for a scenic route with a good coffee stop, I’m always planning the next ride.

​About This Project

This website is a personal passion project. I enjoy the technical challenge of building out this repository, from working with WordPress and custom GPX mapping tools to figuring out how to best display ride statistics. It’s a work in progress, much like my training, and I hope you find these routes useful for your own adventures.
