Snorkelling Borth Reefs

Another lovely sunny day here as summer continues. Biking and weights first thing then a windy surf ski session into the estuary and back for a little play in the waves. Snorkelling Borth Reefs Lunch in the garden and then into Borth for a snorkel around the reefs with Morgan. There was loads to see out...

Early Morning Sea Swim

I’ve said it before, but there really is no better way to start the day than an early morning sea swim. It’s physical, mental, spiritual, communal, natural medicine all wrapped up in a simple dip in the sea. Physical Physically, the water is never warm here so it is always invigorating. Saying that, the water...

Getting Stuff Done

You know me, I just love getting stuff done. Early Morning CX Ride I was up early as usual on Saturday morning. I managed to do an hour or so of work on the computer and then decided to go for a ride. I could have ridden with Simon later in the day but it...

Trefechan Bridge

Just a nice photos of Trefechan Bridge and Aberystwyth that I took before my early morning sea swim last week. Thanks to the zooming effect on my iPhone, the low light and the atmospheric mist and murk it looks more like a water colour painting than a photo.

Italy – The final Days

Come Saturday morning I was still feeling ill. No huge breakfast for me, just enough to keep me going. As Saturday is a changeover day there are no guided rides. I was still ill so Chris headed out for a little ride on his own. I opted not to ride as it was probably better...

Italy Day 4 – Recovery Ride

After conquering Cippo yesterday, a recovery ride was on the cards. Quite when 54 miles with over 4000ft of climbing became a recovery day I don’t know!! I also dug deep on all of the climbs too which was probably a mistake. I usually feel sore 2 days after a hard session so I will...
