Tour of the North 2019
Stage one we had very little time with the camera as we had a lot to do. Numbers pinned on, debate the number of pins, bottles and kit to sort. Factor 25 for myself slapped on the head. A Fast and furious start saw a lot of compressions with cars parked on the right. I got … Continue reading Tour of the North 2019
The caravan chronicles: Newcastle April 2019
This is our first upload on the new channel of our caravan adventures. This weekend we hit Newcastle, the first outing after the clock have changed. We stay at Murlough Cottage our favourite spot. Friday saw heavy downpours but Saturday was sunny with a slight chill, spent the day at Silent Valley. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/ITND4Oh21wo
Holidays Part 2
Up next was our drive to Chester, we parked up at Blakemere caravan site. Another great site bar the stone chipping drive ways, everything got dusty, but then there is a heat wave. Large big playing fields, clean showers and bathroom facilities. Chester Zoo. Hmm, the first shock was the £86 entry fee. This included … Continue reading Holidays Part 2
Holidays Part 1
Part one, Belfast to Dublin, Dublin Ferry to Holyhead, 2 nights in Home Farm camp site. We then visited Beaumaris castle. Nice hidden gem of Wales. Excellent camp site at Home Farm, 2 night did not do it justice. With the weather being mid 20's, perhaps to warm, for me being Ginger. https://youtu.be/Xm9Qpq6GGxs
Newry 3 day
Newry 3 day done and dusted. Would have liked to be in the mix but Saturday saw me loose touch out of the break. That was any chance of GC gone, just nothing in the legs. On my way backwards, Thomas, guest riding for us, was on his way forward. He managed to get into … Continue reading Newry 3 day
Fixx rd 4
The last round of the Fixx Coffee Supercross was held at Russborough House. I have leading the over all from round 1 and needed to finish 3rd to get the over all win. The course was a balance of tyre pressure, to hard loose in the corners in the lower half. To spot risk a … Continue reading Fixx rd 4
Sourcing a Venue, not a “crap course”
So out looking at Tullycarnet park as a possible venue for our race on the 7th January 2018. This park seems ok, now to see if the guys like it too and to get the ball rolling with the council. Plenty of paperwork and forms to fill in. If your needing any help give me … Continue reading Sourcing a Venue, not a “crap course”
Derby Cyclocross
A hard weekend at Britsih National Trophy round 1 at Derby. Saturday night boat to Liverpool and a 2hr drive to Derby. Seemed like the best plan on paper, but a 5am wake-up call was a shock to the system. I never got going in my race and lacked any sort of power and momentum. Small … Continue reading Derby Cyclocross
Friday Small pedalling
Small spin into work via the New green ways along the Conswater river. Some amount of work has went into this and is more enjoyable than the Comber Greenway, less dog crap too. Some updates from my friends in Sicily. Men lost on climbs. A little play on the bmx track to test the bikes … Continue reading Friday Small pedalling
