We are now in the last month of the year. It is December! Christmas will soon be upon us. Here are some photos from the November. These photos are by no means exhaustive but as I have been going through my photo stream, memories have popped back into my mind and the photos act as […]
October whizzed by. It is now November?! Below are some photo highlights from the month. A busy month, as always. Cycling as much as ever. This month I had two bicycle punctures. I haven’t had one for ages. It may be the time of year or it may be that my tyre is wearing out. […]
Today was another Kidical Mass ride and what a success it was! The joy on the riders’ faces and nearly all spectators’, except a couple of momentarily delayed drivers, was glowing! At today’s ride, we had a turnout of 50! All of our last 7 rides before this have been superb. Considering it was the […]
With a coldness in the air and an ever increasing desire to turn on my central heating, it is certainly now October. September is over and in this blog post I shall put together a little photo review of the month gone by. As always I have been cycling a lot. And as I have […]
I cannot remember exactly when it was, but with a couple of months to go, I signed up to do my first ever half-marathon after hearing how many of my fellow attendees of Nottingham Frontrunners had already signed up to do it! I had already done the 10km back in March, so it was time […]
I would never have expected to write the following. I joined a running group! It is so strange that only this time last year I only ran for a few months and that was on the treadmill. Many years ago in Sixth Form, to get me up and well running – in the morning I […]
Delay. Ahhh. I blinked and one week has passed. I am away this Saturday too. I imagine I will publish this on the 9th. This being the case, that’s roughly 44% of the year gone. This month I started, albeit briefly, to try to wake up earlier. I got stuff done before the day started. […]
Dear Diary, As the moment I am writing this, 33% of 2024 is complete. My new habit that has formed this year is writing a blog post every month. It’s mainly a place I can mass upload lots of photos from the month some seeming quite meaningless but all meaningful to differing degrees. For someone […]
Yesterday Kidical Mass Nottingham returned! Eager to bring this back this year after a successful 5 rides in 2023, I found out about the Safe Streets Now group. They were organising a campaigning day of action so a series of Kidical Mass rides were set to take place around the country on one particular day. […]
Dear Diary, I am typing this at the end of the first day of April. We are somehow 25.1% of the way through the year of 2024. As per my new tradition, as with each month, so far, January and February, I now do a photo review. As each month passes, I look back which […]
Dear Diary, As with January, I have decided to review February and put some photos of the month here. It gives me a reason to reflect on the many photos I take. The way I have done it before with the yearly review means that because of the hundreds and hundreds of photos I have […]
Dear Diary, Quick update. Today is 32/366. 8.7% of the year is already complete. It feels like I have blinked and the month has gone but equally, as it is January, the month after festivities and extended break of Christmas, it seems to have lasted a long time. So far this month I have kept […]
Dear diary, I recently wrote about how this year I aimed to be active every day and was working so well with getting long walks, runs, the gym, cycles and even a swim in, but then on Friday 12th, I had a scheduled brain angiogram so all exercise stopped for a whole week afterwards. Crryyy. […]
Dear Diary, The first full week of 2024 has come to an end and I can safely say I have abided by one of my New Year’s Resolutions – to be more active. I did set numerous others which I have broken, including getting to bed earlier, he writes at 1.40am, but increasing my activity […]
This weekend just gone I was cycling everyday. It worked out that two cycling events fell on the Friday and Saturday and I arranged for the Sunday. Opps. Lots of pedalling! I was a bit tired towards the end of it, but each event is all about enabling and encouraging people to cycle so it […]
Today I ran my first ever Parkrun! I had heard about Parkruns for a few years and recently was inspired by my friend Simon, who said he partakes in his local one and does others in areas which he visits. Simon was actually planning on cycling here to do this one and I were to […]
The Sunday before last was the fourth Kidical Mass Nottingham ride. At the beginning of this year, the ride was only a concept in my mind but through planning, organisation and promotion, I rolled it out and brought together such a successful and growing group ride. This 4th ride was slightly different as the we […]
I talk about joining a running group - Nottingham Frontrunners. A little of my history of getting into running and how Parkrun and Frontrunners have become a set part of my week.
