Ronde van Vlaanderen
A ronde to remember: atop the Muur van Geraardsbergen for the great cobbled Classic.
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
After a hard winter and a week of rain, we go roadside at the opening race of the 2010 Spring Classics season in professional road cycling.
‘Twixt two regions
Through the borderlands between Hainaut and Oost-Vlanderen and beside the Marcq-Mark river.
Muur van Geraardsbergen
“Whosoever crests the the Muur first shall winneth the Ronde” – a summer visit to this hill climb legend.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
