Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, I’m finally feeling as though its time to get back on track and start training again. It’s taken a while as it has been over 2 months since I was in hospital and I’m still not feeling 100%, but I can take it no more. I just need to get out on my bike...
Well done to all those who competed in the Forest of Dean Enduro today. It looked like a great event with perfect conditions. The dry, dusty singletrack looked amazing. I’m still under doctors orders not to ride in such things so I took a whole load of photos instead and they are now online ready...
Right, I’m now officially fed up with not being able to get out on my bike or do any exercise! I’m getting fat and unfit (which can’t be good for my heart) and I’m lacking in endorphins! I had an echocardiogram about a month ago and I’m waiting to see the consultant to hear the...
I’m not sure what the weather is going to yet on Sunday, but the Forest of Dean Enduro is on, so I may make a day of it and travel down to the Forest of Dean to take some photos. I’m still not up to competing myself, so the next best thing is to make...
As part of my ‘getting back into photography’ effort I’ve been meaning to photograph a mountain biking event for a while now. I quite like the idea of having a particular ‘assignment’ rather than just wandering around on a photo-walk and hopefully all of the participants in such an event will want to see photos...
My Snowdonia Enduro Photos are now out ready for all to see. Here are a few as a taster, but the link above takes you to the whole album. They are ordered and titled by rider number so you should be able to find yourself fairly easily. Hope you all had a good time, it...
Following my recent flu and health problems, I’m not quite up to any Mountain Bike racing at the moment, but I’ve been enjoying my photography and quite fancy having a go at taking photos of a MTB event sometime soon. I guess now is the perfect opportunity as I can’t ride myself so I could...
Just read about a cool promo by Specialized that could see you riding (and possibly owning) a 2010 Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper FSR. They are looking for people who ride a lot, and spend the rest of their time blogging, posting on facebook and Twittering… Does that sounds like anyone you know? Me… Really. Sounds a...
Well, I survived! We’ve just got back from the Sleepless in the Saddle 24 hour mountain bike race in Catton Park, Derbyshire and I think all of the Ystwyth-MTB team members and supporters had a good time. Anna, Morgan and I set off on Friday morning and arrived at the campsite around midday. The sore...
I went on my recent trip to the Isle of Man with high hopes of lots of quality mountain biking. I had heard that there were a couple of purpose built trails in the South Barrule plantation and that someone from Coed y Brenin had been there to consult on the building of these. I...
