Last Sunday, Lau, Xenocide and I completed the 100km Isle of Wight Randonnee.
It turns out that the island is pretty hilly, and much bigger when you’re riding around it on a bike
I honestly can’t fault the organisation of the event in any way. Everything was signposted well (though we did nearly miss a […]

Reading that title back, it sounds more sarcastic than intended
Just took a quick trip in to Bradford-on-Avon on the bikes with Lau, and stopped at Sainsburys to get some drinks.
It seems that, as part of their store/car park redevelopment, they’ve added a row of 5 bike racks - so enough parking for […]

What better way is there to identify dangerous drivers on the roads, than when the drivers themselves post up video evidence of said dangerous driving?

I look forward to seeing drivers convicted in court based on video evidence provided, published and promoted by… themselves

I dislike forwarded emails, but I do like funny things - and since the 2 people I actually expect to read this blog will find this funny, I can justify posting it.
You know you’re from Somerset when…

You thinks Bath’s a big city ..
You can tell sheep from goats ..
You know why to avoid […]
