This time last year…

So, when I started this blog in December 2018 it was all focussed on the second Saturday of July 2019. That was the day I had earmarked for the #rideforplym. An epic cycle across Devon to raise money for the great people of Plym Neuro Rehab Unit at Mount Gould Hospital in Plymouth. The seven …

What might have been…

This past weekend should've seen me join forces with the guys of The Celtic Wiseman, a ride around Devon in support of their charity endeavours to raise money for ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) research. But alas, with all things COVID-19 it is another thing that's had to be put on hold until some form of …

Come Together…..Right Now….

Powerful words from Lennon & McCartney, not me!!! But now more than ever they mean so much? Where we all are right now is something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime? I imagined something like this would only come from a Hollywood script. So, it's so refreshing to see so many …

Inspired, time to spring forward.

Its been a while since my last post, that's simply down to a little lack of inspiration really!!! The winter blues have kind of set in, the weather here in the UK hasn't been the nicest, especially for someone who likes to pedal a bike? I've now gotten bored of the turbo trainer and long …

Cheque Mate

Welcome back.....Things have been a bit quiet lately on the #rideforplym front? I have been taking the time to try and squeeze more money into our charity fund for the great people of Plym Neuro Rehab Unit!!! The JustGiving page closed on 31st August and I've been waiting for the process of transferring the money …

#rideforplym Update 8

Well, Saturday 31st August 2019 was a milestone for all things #rideforplym. As it was the day our JustGiving page closed. The final amount we have raised is nothing short of staggering and beyond anything we could have hoped for. I initially thought £1000 was a tough target, what did I know?!!!! There is so …

The Calm After The Storm.

Well its been a while? For most of 2019 everything was focused on Saturday 13th July and the #rideforplym. If you've been following this blog you'll know that was the day we would complete our epic Coast-Coast-Coast cycle ride across Devon to raise money for Plym Neuro Rehab Unit. This day came and went, without …

Facts & Figures

Congratulations, or should I say Felicidades, Egan Bernal on a brilliant Tour de France win. I'm sure this is going to be the first of many victories on a bike for the young Columbian? So, the La Grand Boucle (big loop) is over for another year, roll-on the Vuelta a Espana which starts on the …

What’s next?

So, it's now been well over a week since we completed the #rideforplym. Shamefully I've only been out on the bike once since!!! We've been hit with some really strange weather recently, heavy rain, thunderstorms and mist, stuff that isn't normal even for the UK in summer?!!! I have had chance to get some rest …
