‘Fancy a beer? – that age old question that brings with it social pressure to fit in, or the FOMO from not going out. Yet how many times do you wake up the next day & regret it; sore head from too much booze, regretting the dodgy kebab, ill from dehydration or just tired from…
After explaining the nature of my accident, I thought I’d share some insights into my recovery from a brain haemorrhage. The arrival of Spring & British Summer Time day light saving has coincided perfectly with me feeling fit & able enough to start riding outside again! During this period of down time, I’ve spent a…
“Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down…” Hey everyone, It’s been a while since I posted here! I hope you’re all well, that you’ve managed to maintain some sort of sanity & wellbeing and here’s hoping for much more positive year! So… 2020, the year of roaming home….
Injuries, an inevitable art of living an active lifestyle. The subtle art of slowing down isn’t really an art, more an enforced mundanity that absolutely no-one enjoys. 2020 was a year that meant taking every opportunity to get outside, before Boris changed his mind about restrictions – again! I rely on exercise for physical wellbeing,…
Embrace, adapt, overcome. Life under lockdown is um… novel. After the initial carnage of people panic buying three thousand toilet rolls each & stockpiling a million tonnes of pasta, it seems we are finally settling into some kind of new normality – if it can ever be called that! First of all, I hope all…
Aside from some exciting adventure plans, one of my personal goals for 2020 is all about saying yes more. Saying yes to more adventures, fresh challenges and new opportunities. As someone with multiple hobbies, I quite often let the weather dictate my plans. This means last minute plans, late changes and often a lack of…
Over the last two years, cycling has had a hugely positive effect on my life. It’s become influential in the way I live each day of my life – almost to the point of obsession. Given cycling will be dominating the latter part of my 2020 plans, I thought I’d write this post to explain…
Ups and downs, life is full of them. It’s cyclic. To enjoy the ups, you have to experience the downs. But key to ensuring that sinusoidal curve remains in balance is recognising bad habits. Bad habits start innocently, but can quickly tip you off balance and send you spiralling down a hole. Now that the…
I’ve finished my dissertation! Those long coffee-fuelled days and sleepless nights are at an end. The level of stress is none existent and I find myself with so many free hours in the day – the question is, what to do now I’ve finished my dissertation?! Pretty simple really, get back to living the life…
Summer is certainly drawing to close here in the UK, the nights are drawing in & changing seasons begins. It’s fair to say summer 2018 has been one to remember, we’ve had the best weather I can remember for years & made memories to last a lifetime. After a summer of enjoying life without a…
Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten myself back into cycling to work, this new found love of road cycling came about when on a chilled-out break down in Cornwall. Of the 5 days we spent living the simple beach lifestyle, we moved the van once – cycling everywhere; to the beach, to the town,…
