As well as the photos of the surf at sunrise this morning, here are a couple of little video clips too.

Ystwyth CC Memorial Ride for Terry
There was no cyclocross race this weekend, which was ideal for me. Windsurf Demo Day First up it meant I could meet Steve in Aberdovey for the Boardwise Demo Day on Saturday. Typically there wasn’t quite enough wind on that side of the estuary for windsurfing, but we had a nice day catching up in...
Welsh Cyclocross 2018 – Round 6 Newtown
Those of you paying attention will notice that Round 5 seems to be missing. Unfortunately Storm Callum resulted in widespread flooding around South Wales, with the Carmarthen area being pretty badly hit. Now, a little bit of weather doesn’t usually deter us hardy cyclocross types but there is a limit. Travelling was not advised during...
Not Nearly so Mellow
After a nice mellow surf ski session yesterday here at Ynyslas, today was not nearly so mellow. Gone was the sunshine, replaced with a horrible grey drizzle. The waves were a little meatier too and I took quite a few on the head in the Impact Zone! All worth it for the rides back in...
Daring Descents, Downwinders and Deep Fried Pasties
Just a quick photo of the views from Carn Owen at the weekend. It was a fairly grey, chilly day here in West Wales but as Simon pointed out as we finished our ride at 9:30am, most people were still just getting out of bed and we had already done loads. We’d had an easy...
When Millie came to stay
As a favour for a friend we did some dog sitting. We wondered what the cats would think and I wondered if this might encourage Morgan to get out in the great outdoors. The cats didn’t seem bothered at all. We had a plan to keep dog and cats separate at different ends of the...
Cyclocross Slideshow
Yeah, I’ve made it into a little promo slideshow for the Welsh Cyclocross Series. And I was actually on my bike not falling off!
Autumnal Surf Ski
After a summer of flat water, small waves and nice warm temperatures it was good to get out for a surf ski in some slightly more intimidating conditions. 3 foot messy surf left over from storm Bronagh and enough of a southerly wind to kick up some chop. It wasn’t warm out there either. The...
Conwy Mountain Challenge – Race Report
The Conwy Mountain Challenge was the second race of what will hopefully be four races in 3 weekends for me. The British Quadrathlon Trophy Series of races were a bit unevenly spaced this year with 3 weekends of races back to back. 2nd Sept – Shrewsbury Quad 9th Sept – Conwy Mountain Challenge 15th Sept...
