Lindsey Vonn - what an inspiration to the injured. New knee, smashed up ACL and competing today.

I’d been looking for inspriation after my knee injury and setbacks, and here it is - it’s possible

About to go riding for the first time in ages thanks to this skier.

And to all those beating down on an injured 41 year old female athelte - f you

I’ll be honest, I’m not good with these short days…. But this time next week they’ll be on the way out of year and won’t get shorter for a good long while.

A bit more about the new workshop dog

She’s a 8 week old Maltipoo named Blueberry Muffin by my Kuromi obsessed kids. We call her Berry.

She’ll be joining me for the rounds once she’s had her 2nd vaccinations in the new year.

Bicycle related stuff will resume shortly but she’s too cute not to share.

I know what you’re thinking...

That drop dead gorgeous freshly serviced Cervelo is ruined by those jeffing (geoffing?) curtains. Fun fact - they’re old bedsheets.

Enough is enough, book in today to help fund a nice set of nets. Please.

Having to close shut due to business rates was horrible, and if I’m honest still quite upset about it.  If my shop was ever going to end, I wanted it to be on my terms.

However, the one thing this change has given me is time.  School runs are now possible, I’ve done more cycling in the past 6 weeks than I’ve done in a year and on Saturday afternoons I can be a dad and go for forest walks.

Perhaps having the shop door slam shut in my face was what I needed for this door to quality family time to be opened....

Thanks for all that have used the new service, and thank you to all those that will use us in the future.  As always, much love to you and your bicycles x

Oh hello Monday… making the most of the forest, it’s still holding firm and riding fast.
