Sometimes cycling along country lanes are the types of bike rides I like best. This weeks ride was thankfully less of a mission than last week. Not that I didn't enjoy our ride in the Welsh hills last week, I just wasn't sure if my legs could cope with hills two weeks on the bounce! … Continue reading Cycling on Cobbles and Country Lanes

Trying New Cycling Routes
Going outside when it's cold and with a possibility of rain is a good way to spend your Sunday right...? Sort of. With a longer ride planned I'd decided to pop into Alf's to get a cycling jacket that didn't act more as a windbreaker than anything else. So following a quick visit to Alf's, … Continue reading Trying New Cycling Routes
What A Cyclist Does In London
All of the swanky cycling stores seem to be in London. From Rapha to ASSOS, what can a cyclist get up to in London?

Exploring Llandegla Forest With Friends
Two blog posts in one day? Should I be doing that? Who cares! Today's ride was too much fun to not write about it! Originally a ride to catch up with Anna, our group suddenly grew to include Kate, James and Ffion too. I've often found group rides to become quite difficult. People will often … Continue reading Exploring Llandegla Forest With Friends
A Windy Antur Stiniog
This year I’ve been somewhat cautious when it comes to getting onto my downhill bike.
Exploring Dolgellau: Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles
Over cattle grids and through gates the hillside soon opened up to uncover a view of the great blue expanse of the sea.
