Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’d planned to go for a ride on my own yesterday anbd as i’d been singing the praises of my Garmin Forerunner 305 and some of the features on it I thought I should put the Virtual Training Partner feature to the test. I hadn’t used this particular feature before which allows you to record...
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...
I know, I know, now isn’t the time to buy and don’t worry I shall wait until WWDC in June just in case anything new is announced, but my Dual processor G5 Powermac is feeling a little long in the tooth now so I shall be upgrading soon. The G5 actually does everything I want...
Just in case you don’t know what Twitter is, it’s yet another Social Networking tool that allows you to post short (140 characters) Tweets that other people can read. The character limit is there so that you can post Tweets via text messages from your phone. Twitter is easy to use and you can post...
I’ve kind of vounteered myself to guide a few people on a MTB ride tomorrow and people have been requesting the planned route, so here it is. Route for tomorrow Of course, the weather may well dictate otherwise. The plan is to start from Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre and head out on the Conti...
For a change from our usual Ystwyth-MTB weekly evening ride we headed off to Pennal Woods last night for a little guided ride by Shem. Shem, martyn, Dave, Simon, Dan and I met in Pennal (which was looking a little grey) and headed off into the woods where we met up with Tegid and Andy....
My training schedule hasn’t been going to badly lately. There has been the odd mishap such as accidental roast dinners rather than lunchtime swims, but I’ve generally been having two swims a week, at least two bike rides a week and so far in May I’ve been windsurfing every day that I haven’t been out...
After taking Morgan and his friend for a little bike ride and to the playground in Aberystwyth and then sitting around watching the Grand Prix, I didn’t have much time to spare on Sunday. I wanted to go for a bike road though, so rather than drive 30 minutes up to the local trails, spend...
The Results for the Dyfi Enduro are out…. You should receive them in your inbox sometime today if you did the event. I hope you did well. I came 222nd but as there were 35 people who finished before me but did the shorter route, I could say I was 187th. Not bad considering the...
Just been looking at the graphs from the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station and spotted a classic passing of a front last night. The wind was around 20-25 knots all evening and then it started raining at around midnight with the pressure dropping slowly. Then, at exactly 2:06 am, there was a sudden temperature drop...
