I rode to Cholsey today. I last did the 35 mile trip on my bike just over a year ago. It was the same time of year, probably the same kind of weather. But last year my health wasn’t great. I had a heavy, clunky, cheap bike. Since then I’ve acquired Fuzzy (or possibly, Fuzzy […]
Cycle mileage has been down of late as recent posts have explained. But, in Sally’s absence, I’ve lined up a 34 mile ride to visit my Uncle in Cholsey (route something akin to this ) and I’m REALLY excited about it! I’ve just put some a new front tyre on because some shards of glass […]
It’s official…I’m getting old. Here’s the evidence: Exhibit A: Gardening is a major preoccupation. Had you not noticed?

I’m not injured and I’m feeling strong and fit, which is great! August, though, for various, non-cycling-related reasons has prompted lots […]
I’ve had my HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) that I got for my cycle training for about 6 weeks now so it’s time I did a bit of a write up. Why Bother? First of all, why bother with an HRM? (If you haven’t spotted already I’m the kind of person that thinks a LOT and […]
This is a bit of an unstructured brain-dump of where certain techie things are in my head right now. I wrote about my use of Twitter a while back. One of the boons of this has been watching the inspiring little comments of an old Bathonian friend of mine. My friend (I won’t name him […]
