Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Yet another year that we have managed to miss the Aberystwyth Cycle Fest. It’s been taking place for 5 years now and not once have we had anything to do with it as we have always been away. This year was no exception as we were away for my Dad’s 65th birthday party. We did...
I can’t run at the moment thanks to my plantar fasciitis, so I decided to go for a nice long ride on Saturday instead. It was cool and cloudy out there with quite a strong NW wind, as I headed out just before 7am. I started off riding into Machynlleth and then along the north...
Racing in Triathlons tends to take us to places we haven’t been before, and St. Neots in Cambridgeshire was one of these places. We drove down after school and work on Friday evening and arrived at a nearby Premier Inn which was to be our bed for a couple of nights. It was quite late...
I can’t run at the moment due to a case of Plantar Fasciitis, so my usual run, swim and bacon sandwich on a Sunday morning has been replaced with a swim, bacon sandwich and a ride instead. It’s not doing much for my running but it does give me an opportunity to do a longer...
Spring must be well and truly here as I’ve been getting out in the real world on my bike. After a winter sat on the turbo trainer it’s nice to be outside in the sunshine – although I do have to say that I’m a little odd in actually liking the discipline and controllability of the...
As you may know, I’m now the proud owner of a Garmin Fenix 3 watch. It took a while to get it as it was stuck at the delivery depot for weeks and the two companies that were involved in delivering it (UK Mail and Cooper Carriers) didn’t seem able to communicate with each other, so...
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]uesday already and our first full day in Dorset. One of the main reasons for coming here was to go fossil hunting, so we wasted no time and planned a day at Charmouth today to find some fossils. I started the day with an early morning run into Weymouth and back along some of the...
After a weekend at my parents house for Easter we spent most of Easter Monday heading south towards Dorset. Cerne Abbas Giant We took quite a random route to get there and stopped off at Cerne Abbas to take a look at the giant there which Morgan found quite amusing. We had a nice picnic...
I’m doing my best to stick to my new plan of increasing my training a little as the race season gets ever closer. As well as my large scale annual periodisation in which I’m trying something new, I also have a meso-scale pattern within my training where I do a 3 week cycle. This consists of...
I’ve recently enrolled on a Level 2 Cycle Coaching Course with British Cycling and spent the weekend in Ammanford for two days of intensive study towards it. After an early morning drive to Ammanford Leisure Centre I met up with my fellow participants on the course and we were introduced to Will and Mark our...
