It's been a while. And whilst I don't want this to be a post about why I've not cycled or blogged, I guess there has to be a nod towards it. Life can get busy can't it? House building, family, very painful plantar fasciitis all have added to the drought of bike riding and blogging for months... …

Out with the old…
New Year, new kit... well a few items anyway. All purchases were from H and M . I've previously found their sports wear really hard wearing and comfortable and what they have always looks so cool. I really could do with a new loose vest, black preferably and one that isn't made of that material that …

Family biking…
Summer holidays are here. A trip to Wales calls. There's been some biking on my own but today was a family ride around the Usk reservoir . Little boy was in the baby carrier with Mr SheSpoke and little girl was with me. I drew the short straw. It feels cruel to write that but she's …
