Guess what I did tonight? Yes you’ve guessed it rode my bike! Went up the hill as normal but added a bit more up and then a bit more down to get up towards the top of the southernmost ‘peak’ of the Malverns. It was pretty windy on the tops today but I was managed [...]

¶Before we begin this entry it is brought to you by the following. Not because I’m drinking it, it is just what I did a lot today! I went to Cannock Chase and rode the ‘Follow the dog’ trail with the new ‘Monkey trail’ loop as well…the whole thing is a decent and quite a [...]
.........................................................
¶So I basically did the same loop as the other night again tonight but on my own, less stopping and earlier in the day so it seemed tougher but that was probably due to the heat. I also swallowed a massive fly which went straight down my throat, it’s still sore now and I had [...]

¶A short one, with no photos as my camera/phone stayed firmly rooted in my saddle pack as I was wearing my old shorts with non-zip pockets. Tonight was a quick blast up the Malverns with Andy from work as my guide. As much as I like riding on my own especially on the road where [...]

¶My feet hurt, standing up for inordinate amounts of time will do that to you. Mountain Mayhem is however now completed and survived. I mean it’s not like I actually rode it! Roll on the Singletrack Weekender, which I may ride you never know…hopefully without injury. So anyhow here are some crappy phone photos to [...]

¶So tonight I went down to Hanley Swan and entered the ‘have a go’ time trial organised by V.C. Sevale which despite the unlikely name is the local cycling club here in Malvern. I only knew about this event because the shop were providing gift vouchers for the prizes. So I thought I’d go along [...]

¶These are quite old now but I had some time off so rode my mountain bike in a few novel places (New Forest, Wareham Forest and Purbecks). I’ve been riding the Tricross on the road since but not taking photos. Hence the lack of posts from me…don’t expect any more anytime soon as I’m working [...]

¶Here we see a claim that Cancellara uses an engine hidden inside his bike. It’s not as outlandish as it may seem when you see this thing and the evidence presented. I am holding off judgement, but it’s not very punk rock. via: www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mechanical-doping-in-road-cycling

¶Well, I don’t post much on here because I’m a bit like Garth from Wayne’s World…I don’t really have much to say right now. But, I did put the bars from my first proper bike, a Raleigh Mustang (from when I was 8 years old no less) onto my single-speed and I’m very happy with [...]

¶I could write something long winded about where I’ve been and how it rode but I’ll let the photos do the talking…basically my friend Mark lent me his front wheel so I took the Singular Swift for some adventures. Sunday was a blast up the towpath north out of Worcester and then back round via [...]
