Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I haven’t done any long bike rides for years. In fact we’re talking 20 years plus since I did anything over about 35 miles. Monday was a gorgeous day, warm, dry and sunny. I was on top of work (or didn’t have much on to be more precise) so set off on a nice little...
The triathlon looms ever closer and Jay, Brad, Matt and Beale all seem to be doing loads of secret training, so I thought I’d better get out there on my road bike again to get used to it. Last time I went out on the road bike it was OK, but I didn’t feel that...
Our weekly night rides at the moment are all exploring the trails that are likely to be part of the Dyfi Enduro. Last night we started from the northern end of the course and rode a few of the trails there. The first descent we attempted was covered in branches leftover from recent forestry operations...
On my way home from Conwy at the weekend I stopped off at Penmachno for a ride around the trails there. I hadn’t been here for over a year and had fond memories of it from last time so was looking forward to it. This was helped by the fact that it was a lovely...
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...
The official results from Sleepless in the Saddle are available to download as Excel files on the Official Photographers website. Along of course with some really good photos. Hopefully more photos will be online soon and I’ll link to them when I find any. Our teams lap times were: Team 1 25 laps 24:23:03 ...
I went on my recent trip to the Isle of Man with high hopes of lots of quality mountain biking. I had heard that there were a couple of purpose built trails in the South Barrule plantation and that someone from Coed y Brenin had been there to consult on the building of these. I...
The busy week here continues… We’ll tell you more about some of the things we’ve been doing later, but I did manage to squeeze in the weekly Ystwyth MTB club night ride last night and actually remembered to take some photos too. So, for those of you who wonder why we put ourselves through the...
This weeks Ystwyth-MTB night ride was in the Dyfi Forest. Just Dave, Jon and myself this week and as Dave and Jon are pretty fast I had a pretty hard ride doing my best to keep up. It was a good ride in lovely conditions, hot and sunny. A little too hot really but we...
I first did the Raven MTB Trail at Brechfa, not long after it first opened in August 2008. There were a few of us on that ride and it has to be said it was quite a mudfest! Some sections were closed due to the surface breaking up and others were barely rideable. It was...
