Hello! Remember me? It’s been a while! I won’t bore you with the details of why it’s been so long, but it’s fair to say I’ve really missed blogging and my little corner of the internet lately. So here I am – back! So much has happened since my last post. I've bought a new … Continue reading J’adore VTT! (Part 1)
There's not been a lot of biking going on for me so far this year. Life got crazy busy, the weather got pretty miserable and time for riding just hasn't been happening. But today was one of those days when everything comes together. Last week, I'd been in my favourite local bike shop, Bad Ass … Continue reading Testing, testing, 123 (or 275, actually!)
Today I went back to basics. After a few months of not really riding very much, due to too many bouts of winter-related illnesses, hideous weather and just being too darn busy, I felt I had lost my riding vavavoom and was questioning if I could really be bothered to go and find it again. … Continue reading Back to basics
Well, it's safe to say that this has been a bit of a strange weekend. It was meant to be the weekend when I did my first enduro race. It ended up being something quite different. The Mr and I entered the Mondraker Gravity Enduro that was taking place in and around Newnham Park in … Continue reading Oh the irony
A couple of weeks ago I did something entirely out of my comfort zone. I did my first race. The Brighton Big Dog is an endurance race that's been running for six years. It's held in Stanmer Park, just outside the city, and sees mountain bikers from all over the place riding for six hours … Continue reading Brighton Big Dog: Big fun
We were meant to be going to watch the Downhill World Cup at Fort William at the weekend, but my Mr's work commitments meant we couldn't make it. Understandably, I was pretty disappointed. But rather than moping about what could have been, we decided to make sure that we had fun anyway. So on Friday … Continue reading #microadventure
At the weekend I went for a ride in the Exmoor National Park. We'd headed down the night before and stayed in the van just by Wimbleball Lake. It was beautiful there and I was really excited to get pedalling. After the previous weekend's trip to the Lakes, I felt confident that I had a … Continue reading Oh shhh, niggling voice. Just shh!
Last weekend was a three day one, thanks to the wonder that is the British bank holiday. My Mr was away for the weekend, so I decided to take trip too, with some girl friends. It was my first biking break with my friends and we all took the Tuesday off work, to make a … Continue reading Lovely Lakes
The Mr and I always tend to go away for a holiday in the UK around Easter. We've always been really lucky with the weather and had some great adventures at that time of year. This year was no different. This year we went to Scotland. We took a week off work and took our … Continue reading Super Scotland: adventures North of the border
Yesterday was tough. Yesterday I cried on my bike. The Mr and I took a trip over the bridge to try out the new Blade trail at Afan. The day started well, with awesome sausage sandwiches and coffee in the Skyline cafe, looking out at the blue sky and sunshine, feeling good. We (the Mr) … Continue reading The day I cried on my bike
