Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
This summer weather is just too good. 20-odd degrees and wall to wall sunshine yet again yesterday and it looks set to stay that way all week. The sea is luscious too. Deep green, as clear as can be and warm too. It was especially warm yesterday afternoon in Borth. The sun had been warming...
An epic weekend of riding brought to us by GritFest 2018 – Wales’ premier gravel race Gorgeous Weather brought to us by the Welsh Summer Flawless timing and race results brought to us by Sportident New ‘Team Scimitar Endurance’ race kit thanks to Scimitar Sport Stunning Scenery brought to us by the hills, valleys, lakes,...
I took delivery of my new race kit for team Scimitar Endurance the other day. It looks really good, (even with me in it) and the quality is top notch too – its the same stuff that the TORQ team use. The chamois pads in the bibs tights look really comfortable and well sculpted –...

It seems silly to drive 200 miles, a drive that takes over 4 hours, just so that I can go surf skiing, mountain biking and running, but that’s what I decided to do this weekend. Some people had organised something of a surf-skiers get together and paddle on Ullswater. I have a camper van and...
What with all the snow and the record breaking weather conditions here over the past few days Anna thought it apt that I should have Polar Bear toes.
It was Morgans birthday at the weekend. Quite how he got to be 13 already I’ll never know. It was also half term last week so Anna and I took Friday off so that we could have a long weekend away. We therefore headed off after work on Thursday to my parents house just North...
Cool… I’ve got fishy feet!
Unfortunately, due to the snow, the final race of the Welsh Cyclocross series had to be cancelled. I was all ready to go so that I could say I had competed in every race of the season and to hopefully gain a few more points. Even with this last minute cancellation there were still 12...
