ClimachX MTB Night Ride

I haven’t posted a ride report for a while or any route guides. Mainly because I had a few months off the bike after being in hospital and the rides I’ve done over the past few weeks whilst trying to get back into it have been pretty hard work and not that enjoyable. Last nights...

Doing things you’re good at

We should all strive to learn new things and challenging ourselves, but now and then you can’t beat the feeling of doing something you’re good at. I’m trying to get fit, or at least fitter, since getting back on track after my hospital visits this year and swimming is a great way to do so....

Seize the moment – Get out there and do it!

You know what it’s like sometimes with sports. You should really get out there and do it but for one reason or another you just can’t be bothered. More often than not if you just get out there and do it, you not only enjoy yourself but you feel much better for it too. Today...

Back on Track

Well, I’m finally feeling as though its time to get back on track and start training again. It’s taken a while as it has been over 2 months since I was in hospital and I’m still not feeling 100%, but I can take it no more. I just need to get out on my bike...

The Long Road to Recovery?

Anyone for Golf?

Right, I’m now officially fed up with not being able to get out on my bike or do any exercise! I’m getting fat and unfit (which can’t be good for my heart) and I’m lacking in endorphins! I had an echocardiogram about a month ago and I’m waiting to see the consultant to hear the...

Another Hospital Visit

The flu I had at SITS kept coming and going and then I had some chest pains so went to the doctors expecting to get some antibiotics for a chest infection. He did an ECG in the surgery and then sent me up to A&E for some blood tests. At A&E a very strange, but...

A nice quick delivery as usual but I was out riding in the real world so didn’t get to play with it until about 10pm. Just enough time to set it...
