A short write up of my 2025 with my cycling and running stats. Also a photo view of the year.
And there goes August. Here are some photos of the month. As always, this is not exhaustive and some photos will be questionable. Why did I include that? I will probably look back in a few years and wonder what was going through my mind but for a fleeting second in August of 2025, it […]
Hi July! And goodbye. Another busy month with lots of cycling, running, gym, a pug event, lovely food, coffees, it was Nottingham Pride, and Olio amongst many others. Here are some photos from the month of July.
The 9th Kidical Mass Nottingham ride took place on Sunday 1st June 2025. What a brilliant ride! A few joined us after we set off. Our first ride started off with about 35 people and the rides since saw numbers grow and grow with the last couple getting 70. This ride had a grand total […]
Last year, and for each year right back to 2016, around the final day of the year or beginning of the next, I have written a yearly blog post review and selected a lot of photos. I would always underestimate how long it would take and end up, rather bizarrely, getting stressed. This year, I decided […]
December! The month started off slow but with social engagements starting to happen in quick succession it soon shot by and within the blink of an eye the month has gone. I booked the 24th off of work and got the train from Nottingham to Manchester and then bus to Tiff’s. For the first time, […]
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 […]
I am sure it was just the 1st August a couple of days ago. We are now approaching the end of the month. I am not sure how it happened. To keep up the consistency of posting with my month review in photos, here is the slightly delayed review of July 2024. To begin creating […]
A story from last year. “Oh bollards,” or, more likely something stronger, slipped out of my mouth when I was cycling through Croyland Park in Wellingborough and was presented with a new barrier completely blocking my path. Through a rather lengthy campaign, I got North Northants Council to replace their recently installed barrier, which completely […]
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 […]
Wooah. That took a while. I have spent some time on the very last day of 2023, and in truth a few days after, reflecting on the year gone by. The main way this was done was by looking at all of the photos I have taken from the year. There were a lot of […]
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 […]
On the Sunday 18th June it was the second Kidical Mass Nottingham! The first ride was well attended despite a rainy morning so this time, with word getting out and the weather being on our side, 55 people attended! It was so heartwarming to see so many families being able to cycle around our city. […]
Yesterday was the very first Kidical Mass cycle ride! I wanted to launch Kidical Mass here in Nottingham after deciding towards the end of last year that we needed a family oriented ride on a weekend day. In collaboration with the North South Active Travelway (NSAT), I pushed the idea of a family ride and […]
In this recording, I talk about the first ever Kidical Mass ride in Nottingham that took place on Sunday 23rd April.
In this podcast I talk about a recent weekend away in London then Brighton. It was one of the first times I have felt normal in a long time, in an environment many would find abnormal. Cycling completely naked!
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.
