More riding in the Welsh Hills
Just a couple of photos from a cold but pleasant ride in the Welsh Hills at the weekend. A good way to burn off the Michelin Star calories!

Xmas Eve Eve – Biking and Cake Decorating
That was a productive and chilled Christmas Eve Eve…. Bike riding and Christmas cake decorating. Big Bike Ride I started the day with a nice outing on my new bike. 3½ hours and just short of 40 miles so quite a big ride in the mist and murk from home, out through Borth, into Talybont...
New Mountain Bike
What a mountain bike that is! I’ve just got back from the maiden voyage on my new Scott Scale 700 mountain bike, and she’s a beauty! Light, agile, responsive and direct. It’s going to take a lot to get me out on my full-sus bike again as I’m sure I prefer my bikes like this...
An Icy Ride
A strange weekend this weekend as Christmas is nearly here and I have all of next week off work. But Anna and Morgan are at work and school right up until and including the 22nd December. That means that their first official day of holiday is Christmas Day itself! It also meant that the weekend...

Maximising your Time on the Water / Trails / Slopes
We’re all busy people and there are never enough hours in the day to fit everything in. I think I do better than most people though. Despite having a young family, a job, running my own business and all the usual chores to do I still mangae plenty of recreation time by maximising my time....
Adventures in North Wales
Surf Skiing in Conwy I arranged to meet some fellow surf-skiers in Conwy on Saturday. I thought I could make a weekend of it. Surf Ski somewhere a little different for a change, do some mountain biking and then sleepover in the camper and continue my Coast Path run project on the Sunday. The Facebook...
Nant yr Arian in the Snow
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...
