Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Recovery weeks are always difficult for me – I get itchy feet not being able to do as much exercise as I’d like. I eat too much and put on weight. And somehow I manage to get injured whilst doing very little. This week I’ve managed to pull a muscle in my back. I was...
Thought I’d update you on the fact that my second full week of training with a new training plan was a successful one. Once again all the planned sessions in my training week were coloured green. This indicates that I had completed them as planned. It was a fairly similar week to the previous week...
What a day! I spent most of Saturday at the Brass Extravaganza in Aberystwyth. This has been a few months in planning and a lot of hard work behind the scenes but the day was finally here and fingers crossed “touch wood” everything would run smoothly. Youth Competition The Brass Extravaganza started off with a Youth...
Snow and Surf in one day here in West Wales. I love it when that happens. I was a little surprised to see the snow this morning though as I made my way to Machynlleth for a morning run followed by a swim, and it was still there as I left to had back to...
It’s been a while (at least a year) since I’ve done any proper training, but I have now done a whole week of training! I had eased back from races and such like in 2015 but then arthritis in my shoulder at the beginning of 2016 forced me to ease off completely. I was of course still...
With weather warnings galore for snow, ice and high winds my mountain bike ride this evening was always going to be an interesting one. In the end it was just me lucky enough (or is that crazy enough) to go out. I decided it would be safer to stick to the main roads so rather...
.Since they started building the new Premier Inn in Aberystwyth, Morgan has been wanting to spend the night there. Not wanting to disappoint we bought him and a friend a night there as a Christmas present. It was all booked for Friday evening. So, after work and school on Friday we popped home to get our overnight...
Saturday was fairly grey and dreary this weekend. That didn’t stop me from getting out on the water for a mellow day at Ynyslas though. SUP Surfing on a Mellow Day at Ynyslas First up was a mellow little SUP surf off the seafront. The waves were only small and gutless but there was enough to play...
The final overall standing in the Welsh Cyclo-cross 2016 league have been published recently. It’s therefore time for a little round-up of my first ever season racing Cyclo-cross. Why Cyclo-cross? Before I get into the results and how I fared against my competitors, a quick recap on why I chose to do Cyclo-cross in 2016....
What a lovely day to pre-ride a lap of the Dyfi Winter Warm Up. 25 people turned up for the social ride too and all had a good day out in the hills enjoying the sunshine and the company. I won’t be doing the Dyfi Winter Warm myself this year but it was still good...
