VOLUME 1 ISSUE 4 Getting to the Core

2017 has been a great year of cycling. The downside is that I haven't written much about it and now I've a huge amount of material to publish.

So to start off this issue, I've got two BIG rides; the first is a from a group ride I lead across the Vale of Galmorgan ending all the way out at Ogmore-by-the-Sea. My second feature is a massive 135 mile ride I made up to Hereford and back - my longest single-day-ride yet to date!

I've then stuck a short bit about a slight remake/remodel of my wife's old Raleigh mountain bike.

And I end this issue with three external links to websites I find of particular interest. They just seem to fit.

Parkinson's Uk
& The NGS Tour

My Rides - These two organisations asked me to lead a group tour to promote awareness during the Spring gardening season. Take a look at some of the spectacular places we visited and smiling faces we met!

---

Hay-on-Wye &
Hereford Epic

MY RIDES - At 135 miles, this is my longest ride for a single day. It had been a huge goal of mine for a while. Yes, I was walkin' funny afterwards.

Lady Purple

Gear - Melanie's 30 year old mountain bike had sat around disassembled, tyres deflated, and un-loved for nearly a year. But, I started fiddling with her last week and I must say she's now riding better than ever.

Mike's Imagination

On the Web - I try to support other bloggers as much as I can. (it's what we do, right?) This is one of my favourites. Mike's lifestyle is enviable, his writing is relaxed and easy gping. His photography is simply brilliant.

The Radavist

On the Web - This website captures the spirit of West Coast cycling perfectly. They've great content including wacky travel stories and unique product reviews. I totally dig their laid-back mental grove.

---

Without Bounds

You Tube - Lastly, I've thrown in a video with some fairly radical outsider stuff that speaks to the gypsy in me deeply. Were I not married and living comfortably in Wales... this is where you might find me.
