Somewhat amazingly, even the Foo Fighters know about PMA. Who knew? So, where is it? Well, still lurking in there somewhere I think. I went for a ride with the BK Velo lot this morning. Riding with them tends to scare me. They’re fast, if not furious, and usually draw away into the distance with […]
Welcome to another ACG ride. Aka The Fast Show. For many reasons, including the obvious one. Here’s some names to conjure with: Paul, Paul, Martyn, Guy, Jon, and Rob (collected en route). All of whom make a pretty evenly matched peloton…until you get to me that is! It was scorchio. I seriously considered getting my […]
Well, I’m back, albeit briefly, more of which later. I think it’s safe to say that life has gotten in the way of me keeping this up to date? Sorry, I promise to do better in the future. Well, I’ll try to…promises may be a little premature. But there’s been precious little time for riding, […]
On the Saturday I treated the bike to a thorough Muc-Offing. I washed, cleaned, oiled and polished. Good for the bike, very bad for fingernails! But since so many cyclists I know do the Cheddar Cyclosportive, the bike at least had to be looking good. Appearances are everything right? Including deceptive. Since it is so […]
Sunny Saturday dawned… Only it wasn’t sunny at all. The only patch of cloud in the whole country…and it was over us. All grey and disappointing. No fair! But faint heart never won fair maid, and today it was never going to be just me, so I was once again provided with motivation to get […]
I don’t often get out with the ACG these days due to the number of sportives I’m doing. This weekend I actually had a weekend “off” and the ACG had a ride, and two plus two equals four. Turns out I wasn’t the only one around. Dave M was route creator, having been asked not […]
Yesterday a small group of the ACG – 5 in fact – all happened to not be working at the same time. So we went for an easy recovery ride, also known as a coffee run, to the by now infamous Sweets. I’ve been on the wattbike a couple of times this week, so I […]
Apparently using song titles for blogs is a bit clichéd these days. Ah well, can’t teach an old dog new tricks, etc. Habits of a blogging lifetime ‘n all that. Sorry. Ish :P. Yesterday I spent another happy morning with Andrew, cheerfully contradicting myself by buying upgrades so that I can ride up grades. To […]
OK, one trade show under my belt. Giving and Living Trade Show, done. It was a pretty good day, but a long one, and I’m hanging now. Still, I shall endeavour to at the very least start this…but don’t be surprised if this happens… Was it only yesterday? Apparently it was… Blimey. Well, let’s boil it […]
I was kinda dreading this morning’s ACG ride, which was probably not the best way to approach it. I think it was the having seen GB’s planned route beforehand thing, knowing that it involved hills, thus allowing me to fear the known not the unknown. I’m not sure which is better. Or is that worse?
