Sights from the Saddle

A few words about me and this site

Hi, I’m Kyle, an independent web designer who loves all things cycling. I’m married to Kay and she loves photography – almost as much as I love cycling. The result is this website. It’s a bit of fun, something I created purely for our own enjoyment, but I’d be very surprised if someone else didn’t find something of interest here.

Over the last decade and more I’ve cycled thousands of miles around France, Italy, and Spain, while Kay has pretty much followed me every pedal stroke of the way. She has spent countless hours driving up and down mountain passes documenting my rides and so the very least I can do is provide a platform to showcase her efforts.

Some of the photographs Kay has taken are simply stunning and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoyed creating them.

Kyle Martin, Hill Seeker

21 miles from Bewdley-Clows Top-Abberley-Stourport-Bewdley. Post holdiay 20 mile TT loop but only because Hoarstone Lane was closed due to an accident when I reached it. Not a bad time considering I wasn’t time trialling it with the TT loop bit of the ride equating to 19.32 miles in 59.44 at 19.4mph.
