Hello, we are back! (The Tenerife cycling diaries are coming… they are taking longer to edit and enjoy reminiscing on).
Over Easter we took to the New Forest in search of new roads to explore and get some more training rides in, ready for the Mallorca 312 cycling event.
We ride for 200km around the incredible New Forest, spotting wild ponies, pigs, pheasants and making the most of the first bit of UK sun in whats felt like forever.
We make the most of the smooth tarmac, but will almost certainly be back to take advantage of the beautiful gravel trails we accidentally end up on… on the right bikes.
Probably one of the most beautiful rides I’ve done.

Project BOOBS is still very much underway – mentioned in a previous video
(.)(.) Where I am cycling 8008.5KM over Winter to raise awareness of and raise money for Breast Cancer, following my own experience with breast lumps over the last few years.
Small boobs, big dreams, check ’em on the reg.

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike – I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging – which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike – the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

Bloody Hell, the currant bun does come out occasionally in Blighty 🏴🤔🤣
Welcome to the New Forest a cycling hot spot and you can see why. There are a few "wild" pigs around and you see them occasionally, but most are let out by farms for pannage in the autumn. Otherwise I'm delighted that you enjoyed all the wild life, donkeys, horses and cattle. Unfortunately after such a wet winter a lot of the forest does remain flooded and the fords have been up as you will probably experienced but glad you enjoyed it and the bird song, amazing at this time of year.
Good to see you here!
