18 mile ride after work tonight. Was treating this as a training ride so was pushing myself but I can't deny that I just wanted to ride into the sunset.

Oh I wish I was closer. (To be fair I'm in Cornwall so not exactly close to anyone 😂). The white pine mountain frame and forks is beautiful 😍.

No training, no reason, just riding to be free.

Today was a good day. My first time back at Cardinham woods since 2019. I did some actual mountain biking. I'm slow, I'm in pain but I loved every second of it.

After a couple of difficult days at work I was in agony this morning and my mindset really wasn't where I want it to be. Decided a short ride would help. Ended up doing just over 20 miles which wasn't too bad considering a mile in I was struggling with the pain. It was a reminder of why I'm...

Another bike I saved from scrap. The main reason I kept it is because of the colour and the fact the frame is in remarkably good condition. I've added some Easton bars, Tioga tyres, modern Lapierre saddle and modern pedals to replace the knackered parts but it rides surprisingly nicely. I'm...

Took my most recent build out for a test ride this morning despite the threat of a thunderstorm. Started lovely out on the moors, then the thunderstorm hit. You know it's wet when you have lakes sloshing around in your shoes every pedal rotation 😂.

Some of you may know my situation by now but for those who don't, well bikes have been my saviour this past year. I've been trying to build what I can with what I have and still be able to enjoy myself as I'm not letting it beat me. When this frame came up as Karma on here I fell in love with...

I'm not sure. It's the 27.5 subway so around 2019/2020 I think. Was going to be scrapped but I saved it and rebuilt it with better components. I can't ride drop bars any more after developing chronic pain syndrome in 2020 but for a bike that cost me £20 to build I love it.

It's near St austell in Cornwall. The area is known for its China clay and this is one of the old disused clay pits which has been turned into a lake. There's a 50 mile off road ride here every year which I'm doing in July.

A tough 19 mile ride today. Despite a strong wind and this being my 3rd day in a row of hard riding I was feeling brave so took on a route I've been too scared to do. Safe to say I'm aching but have no regrets.

Actually went to a proper mountain bike trail today to rebuild my offroad confidence but was distracted by the bluebells.

You know when sometimes everything just feels right...

Raleigh had several 'wonderful' designs 🤣. I had a Raleigh Max Lite (the same as the picture) recently and it was interesting to say the least. I liked it but then I'm a weirdo 😂

Today was a special day. Every year around this time we set ourselves personal challenges in memory of our friend Fran who was an inspiration to many. Today I managed my longest ever solo ride, a 50 mile ride through the moors on Spirit (my Giant Trance). As you can imagine with it being in...

To be honest I like them. This was abandoned outside for a year so was a wreck when I got given it. The plan was to fix and sell it back in December but I ended up keeping it. All in it owes me about £20 😂.

Technically last night's ride but only just got online since. Evening ride filled with drama (broken bike, lights nearly running out of battery and a several mile detour due to a lorry in a ditch) but still felt amazing. I love evening and night rides. Yes it's a modern carrera but it was built...

I've always had a thing for estate cars and in particular Japanese cars. (The joys of growing up with Gran turismo). There are loads of cars I'd love but this one has always been the one I want the most (that I could use daily). The Mitsubishi Legnum VR4. If we're talking supercars that I'll...

Having a clearout and sacrificing some of my builds to try and raise enough money to get my beloved War Horse (my Boardman) fixed as need it for my fundraising. First up is this Shimano 3x9 crankset and bottom bracket, altus rear derailleur and altus front derailleur. I do have the altus...

Shorter (17 miles) training ride today. Conquered one of my most feared hills but didn't beat the rain 😂. Starting to feel a bit more confident about my 24hr solo in July.
