Sun, dust and plenty of sweat 🥵☀️

Spent the day at BikePark Wales with the @trekbikesbicester crew and it’s awesome looking back at how far my riding has come this year. I’m starting to hit lines that I wouldn’t have even considered at the beginning of the year, and that feels pretty special.

Big thanks to @liamday27 and @stubes90 for always pushing me outside my comfort zone and helping me progress. Still plenty to work on though… I need to get faster and build more confidence, but that’s all part of the journey. 🤘🚵‍♂️

Been on the bike a bit last week, did a 100k route via the ridge way to Avebury and back. Nice off-road trail but very bumpy in parts. Then went to the new forest to recce a route for @trekbikesbicester Gravel ride on the 17th May. Went down to London to see friends, family and eat some good food. Plus managed to get some old footage of me on a bike as my dad has been getting some old tapes digitised.

Sun is out that means the Easter weekend was spent on the two wheels. Got the big rig out for a day at Windhill bike park for a @trekbikesbicester @trekbikes_uk MTB meet up. Lots of fun on the trails and good to ride with new people, look forward to the next one. Then Monday decided to do a road ride to Henley on Thames which ended up being an 80km loop. My GPS took me down a shortcut which ended up turning into riding through a stream, luckily it was sunny so my cycling shoes were able to dry. Can’t wait for more time in the saddle this summer! Who’s up for a ride meet up?

How about the 20 year challenge! These were the only photos I could find on my hard drives from 2006, they were all lost from MySpace or stuck on old computers that died. The early 2000s were some fun years, spent a lot of this time going to see many bands and dreaming of being in a pop punk band! To this day I’m still watching bands I saw play 20 years ago and have built life time friendships via the music scene. These were the years before we had social media in our pockets and enjoyed the moment instead of sharing everything live.

I’ve never really enjoyed running, but I’m trying to change that.
So I picked up some new running shoes and kit to see if it actually makes running more enjoyable — or if it’s still just hard 😅

This is a very honest take from someone who isn’t a natural runner.
For the full breakdown of the kit and my thoughts, head over to my YouTube — link in my bio 👆

Muddy rides are better with good people 🤎
Headed out for a winter gravel spin with the Trek Bicester crew and it was properly messy… in the best way.

From Checkpoint & Checkpoint+ to Supercaliber and Procaliber, everyone just turned up, rode bikes, and had a laugh.
This is what shop rides are all about — no pressure, just riding together 🚲

If you fancy joining future rides, keep an eye on @trekbikesbicester 👀
All welcome.

Took the Trek Rail to Wind Hill and was having so much fun… until I wasn’t 🤦‍♂️ Climbs? Easy. Jumps? Fun. “Easy” section? Crashed it. Didn’t see a drop, landed funny, and hit the deck. But hey, if you don’t crash every now and then, are you even trying? 😅 Back up, back on, and back to having fun on the bike.

All the gear and no idea 🚴🏼🤷🏻‍♂️ love going out on the Trek Madone even though my legs can’t push it when it wants to go faster. Definitely running too high a tire pressure for these rubbish roads. Need to tell the Silca tire pressure calculator that I’m riding on cobbles.

The best time I have on two wheels is when they are off the ground. I’ve never really progressed with jumps but playing on the bigger table tops at phoenix bike park was so much fun. At first I was casing each one and by the end I was clearing them, felt weird having so much air time and being able to think while in the air. One day I’ll be able to do the big gap jumps. Thanks to the @trekbikesbicester crew for taking me along! #trekbikes #trekbikesbicester #phoenixbikepark #trekslash #dirtjumps #mtbjumps #mtb #bikelife taken in Phoenix Bike Park by @danescapes
