A few weeks ago, I talked about my New Years Resolutions. Apparently, most people fail theirs within the first 2 weeks of January, and I have to admit, that does sound likely to be true. A few days ago, I was definitely questioning myself on some of the goals I set myself. In fact, I... Continue Reading →
On the first day of the new year, and keeping up with traditions of New Years Resolutions, Josh (my brother-in-law) and I headed over to the local woods/trails that afternoon. It was reasonably busy with walkers and dogs, so some care was needed navigating around them before we got to the start of the bike... Continue Reading →
It was a very quick ride and unfortunately, I don't mean fast. We were out for around 50 minutes in total once we'd parked up and sorted the bikes out. It was a spontaneously planned ride, I received a message from my brother in law late on Friday evening, saying that he was planning on... Continue Reading →
It really is getting cold now! I know for a fact that I've not been on my bike as much as I should have. Come to think of it, it's been a couple of weeks since I was last perched on a saddle and even then, it was on the rollers. Now that we're well... Continue Reading →
Recently my blog posts have been about my bikes themselves. Some enjoying the delights of a few upgrades, others just requiring a little bit of TLC. Either way, I've not been able to ride them as often as I'd have liked to. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, the weather has been shocking. Here... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm back out riding on the road bike, my wrist isn't quite strong enough yet for the trails, I'm heading out at any given opportunity. Especially with this amazing summer, we're currently having in the UK. Summer here tends to be over and done with within a week where we get about 5... Continue Reading →
I cannot tell you how good it feels to be back on two wheels. Even the day after my accident I was itching to get back on the bike so you can imagine what I was like after six weeks! A couple of days ago I managed to get back out on the road bike... Continue Reading →
Sometimes things don't quite go according to plan. About six weeks ago I had the pleasure of coming off my mountain bike while playing up at Lady Cannings in the Peak District. It was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining and it was the first time we'd been to Lady Cannings so we weren't... Continue Reading →
I've been road cycling with a good mate of mine for a while now, nothing serious just going out for rides, some of which have a target and other times we just meet and see how we feel. Over the last few years, we've been taking part in Sportives all around the country and even... Continue Reading →
Doesn't life just get in the way of the important things? Recently I've been training for a Sportive that a friend and I are taking part in. The problem is that everything seems to get in the way of it, life, work and anything in between. Granted I'm sure my enthusiasm has dwindled on the... Continue Reading →
