The Freeride’s first ride, and born again. Scarborough to Whitby & off road.

Before you read on, it is advisable and preferable to get the context to this story by reading ‘The iconic Christmas build etc etc’ story first, then the jigsaw pieces will slowly fall into place. Hopefully. As a scene setter, this story takes place on the day after the build

An iconic bike build for Christmas & accompanying ‘Super’ themed music track list.

Firstly, here’s my definition of the word iconic: Something just like, or is, a Cannondale Super V. Ha! So now we have that out of the way, lets get on with this challenge, which is; to get this kit of bike parts built in the space of a Friday night,

Cannondale. The inspirational bicycle company.

Regardless of whether you have, or have not had a Cannondale bicycle, here’s my view, personal connection with the company, and an introduction to the Cannondales in my life. But first…… I know it’s a story many-times-told, but having the name of the company coming from their first business home,

Broken Bones

My boss broke her elbow skiing in the early, unstable-snow part of the ski season. That’s cool! Having a boss who will aim high and ‘wear the plaster cast of failure’ is ‘leading by example’ in my books. Of course, I’ve been there and done that. My broken bones to

I’ll never be good enough to pay the mortgage with my time trialling results, but that’s not the point is it?…..

sex, bugs and Wash’n’roll.

Apparently, and according to recent research, 40% of people (who are legally old enough to do it) have sex 1-3 times a week, and on average it lasts between 15-30 minutes. But what the research didn’t identify, was the number of cyclists in the sample group of people. Hmmmmm…..This is

3 boys, 3 Bicycles, a Castle and a great Mountain in Wales

Three boys (?) aged between 30 and 35 leave the Welsh glacial lake of Tal-y-llyn and head off down a small winding road, which is just wide enough for 1.3 cars in width. This means that there are several, marked passing places for oncoming cars to pass each other. These

Spoke Tailor

Back in the early 1990’s, ’Spoke Tailor’ was the title of an article about the great fashion designer, Paul Smith, and which appeared in one of the Sunday paper colour-section-magazines. Whilst the article gave a chronological cycling tour of Mr Smith, it focussed on his latest, new bike. It was
