A DAY I’VE BEEN DREADING!

EPISODE #140
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! But I’m not very happy about it… I get out on a birthday ride, well two rides actually… and then I also get out on the snowboard. All things that I really enjoy to distract me from the fact I’m another year older. I wish I could say I’m wiser, but I’m definitely not… but one thing is for sure, I’m going to live this life to the fullest.

I can confirm the roads in London are just as as they are in eics be sure I charge my garment make sure I’ve charge my lights make sure we get those bars in 10 miles and I’ll be more than starving nothing compared to the thrill under prepared for the hills

So yes we are in the Big Smoke London Town here to do something a little bit different today soon as it is my birthday after all we thought we’d uh come celebrate with a good oldfashioned group ride this is a group ride I’ve been wanting to get involved with for a

Long time now and it’s the uh Chain Gang cyclist a very well-known group around London they’re uh in with the cool kids as they say even though the group is called the Chang gang cyclist today’s ride is actually supposed to be a bit of a tame Affair so definitely looking

Cake thanks to S it was actually my birthday yesterday not today but but you know how it is you got to milk it and you try and get as many days out of it as possible I had a really good day yesterday and I did manage to get out on

The bike but no not the road bike I got out on my first love the BMX coming coming coming come in keep it in coming come in come in coming switch on that I came up with No New Friends with the same old click couple old homies went and stab me in

Was a lot of fun it was really good getting back out in the BMX again and I’m definitely GNA try and do that more often again it was it been too long and I felt too rusty and uh yeah definitely would like to try and do it more

Frequent and get just get back into it again I just forgot how much I love it so much fun anyways we got about another 30 K so I think uh until we get back to Richmond Park the sun has even decided to come out so let’s enjoy the second half of this ride Bloody cyclists who do you think you are your own own the Road Ch well there you go we’re back in Richmond Park looking a damn sight nicer than it was this morning when we did sun’s out and everything ah Gorgeous so that’s it back in the ends back in Essex and uh yeah that was actually a a really good ride in London I haven’t said that many times in my life because I usually absolutely hate riding in London but yeah I must say that was a

Lot of fun and massive Thanks goes out to the guys from the Chang gang cyclist they really made us feel at home and uh yeah very well run ride very enjoyable so yeah massive thanks really appreciate it anyways as I’ve said multiple times it’s my birthday and I’m going to milk it for

All it’s worth so the fun doesn’t stop there so I’m here at the snow Center in h Hempstead and I haven’t rid of my snowboard in probably about 3 years so wish me luck let’s have some Fun Okay so there you go what a great way to end my birthday had a fantastic time at the snow Center and I had forgotten just how much I like snowboarding so I’m definitely going to have to try and not leave it 3 years until the next time

That I do it yeah had a really good time I only fell off once which that’s always a positive I didn’t get it on camera though and yeah I even managed to land a few tricks so yeah happy days now getting out and doing all of these

Things that I love on my birthday they have definitely been a happy distraction from the fact that I’m another year older I haven’t taken becoming 36 very well to be honest now I think one of the main contributing factors to that is the fact that I wasn’t even meant to be here

For this birthday I was meant to be over in Portugal in the sunshine but I I guess it is what it is um we’re going to be back there very soon is just a bit disappointing you know and then for some reason this year I’ve started to let

That cliche fault of the just not getting any younger it’s started to come into my head and uh yeah I’m just very conscious of time um obviously we are pursuing our dreams and moving to another country and yeah just I don’t know I just wanted to share my thoughts

About it and uh just yeah get across the point that you know it’s never too late to chase your dreams and you know sees the day do it now because yeah like I say we’re not getting any younger are we obviously I know there’s there’s going

To be a lot of views out there that are older than me and uh you’re probably screaming at me now going oh you’re a young whipper snapper you know that is you don’t feel it anyways I don’t want to get too deep about it or anything but

Yeah I just wanted to share my thoughts about it and um you know if maybe you yourself are feeling the same way then um yeah go after your dreams we’ve only got one life as they say and uh we’ the best guy and liveit I hope you guys have
