Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
With just one week to go to what is now my first race of the season it’s time that I was getting into race-shape. I’m not quite there yet though but the Cotswold Super Sprint Triathlon next weekend isn’t an A-priority race, just a bit of a practise race before I head off to Turkey...
Wales is known for being wet and rainy but I’ve never know it like this before. It seems to have been raining pretty much non-stop for months. Everything is sodden, the ground is saturated, low-lying areas are flooded and rivers are at bursting point. The garden is a quagmire and where it isn’t it has...
I haven’t been out on my Mountain Bike much lately, but with only 3 weeks until the Dyfi Enduro I thought it was time to re-acquaint myself with it. John and I did a night ride in the Dyfi Forest last night. John had a brand new Trek Fuel EX8 to demo so after a...
I managed to beat my Personal Best around the ClimachX Trail last night. It was supposed to be an Ystwyth-MTB night ride at 6.30pm. As usual I was there early, but by 6:45pm nobody else had arrived so I let Anna know I was going to go around on my own and headed off for...
Less than a week to go until the 2010 Dyfi Enduro, so yesterday a large group of us had a pre-ride around the course. There were 17 of us in total. We didn’t do the road section from Machynlleth but started at the ClimachX Trail head and then rode down to the road and up...
I haven’t really been out on my bike in the ‘Real World’ for a while. I’ve been on the turbo trainer quite a bit recently and I’ve had one or two little rides in the snow, but nothing proper and nothing on my Commencal Meta 5.5 since replacing lots of bits on it. I wanted...
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...
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...
MBR are doing a report on the trails around Machynlleth for an upcoming issue so were out riding at ClimachX yesterday. They’ve posted a video of it so here’s the video of ‘Andy and Roo from MBR riding the Cli-Machx trail at Machynlleth, North Wales on a rainy day in May’. Cli-Machx Trail – Machynlleth...
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...
