Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It’s been a busy week so far this week and we feel as though we’ve barely had time to catch up after our weekend away. Today was just as busy. I started off the day with some website work on the computer, and then went out for a hard, 10 mile run. It wasn’t that...
After my run in disgusting weather yesterday morning, I didn’t stop there. I did lots of work and then headed across to the beach in the afternoon for a nice windsurf session. It was a little gusty to start with but perfect in the gusts with some big waves out the back as well. It...
Triathlon Training I’m taking my triathlon training a little more seriously this year. I’ve been following a sensible training plan and have just about finished a winter ‘Base Phase’ of training. With my coach we’d been gradually increasing the volume of training over the past couple of months and I’m now just beginning to increase...
The weather has been terrible here since Christmas, but we really wanted to get Morgan out for a decent ride on his new bike. We had a quick spin around Nant yr Arian on it on Boxing Day and he’d been over to the beach on it, but really needed an easy, long ride to...
This post is especially for Graham as he wanted me to post the route we did the other evening on our night ride. It may sound odd, but now that the days are shorter and the nights longer and colder, there seems to be renewed interest in our Mountain Bike Night Rides that we do...
My brother Brad was staying with us for the weekend and wanted to do some mountain biking. So, rather than take him out onto the waymarked trails of the nearby trail centres I thought I’d take him for a ride through the Dyfi Forest to give him a taste of the Dyfi Enduro. Saturday was a pretty...
And here’s the second installment of video from our trip to Brechfa yesterday… Enjoy the ride.
Rather than working today, Dave, Pete and myself met at Abergorlech near Brechfa for a ride around both the Gorlech and Raven Trails. It turned out to be a great day out with some really good riding. The trails there have matured well and were riding fast. They weren’t too wet or muddy either which...
It was the first day of the summer holidays today and right on cue the weather was set to take a turn for the worse. It didn’t look as though it would be too bad in the morning though so Morgan and I headed out for a walk. We had a few things to do...
We had a lovely Mountain Bike ride last night and it was nice to see a number of new faces on the ride as well. We met at our usual spot near to Angler’s Retreat. As well as myself, there was Pete, who is now a regular rider having started riding with us last year,...
