Northern wanderings, new van, sunny hillsides
An August trip up the North West coast of Scotland. Poor Vangelina, the month began with me trying to sell her to fund a bigger van in order to create another custom camper, but bigger. Vangelina must have not wanted to be moved on so easily and her gearbox bearings gave up the ghost, so selling…

Sunshine and upgrades
My last post was just before my holiday, so I am now back from Gibraltar with some dodgy tan marks and feeling well rested. It was really hot over there which was lovely during the day as long as I did nothing but sit and read, there was no way I could have ridden my…

Home sweet home!

Hello all, I have been bad, I have been absent. Sorry about that. It has been a long time since my last update – I feel like I am in confession and I am not even Catholic. In that time I have marshalled some enduro races, watched the World Cup at Fort William, ridden my…

Woman down
Ouch. I am writing this in pain as I have crashed my bike once more, nothing serious, but enough to put me off the bike for a few days, again. First I want to rewind to last Saturday and a brilliant sunny ride at Mabie with Gael, the first short sleeve ride of the year…

Tough Chick Thursday (Three?)
Back to the weekly entry on fitness and all that jazz. In the first one I covered diet and last week I spoke in depth about bikes and where my passion comes from, today I will go into what else I do for fitness and my goals. Until my crash in which I dislocated my…

Tough chick Thursday
Diet and fitness is the name of the game for this weekly slot, last week I touched on my diet, today I will discuss the demon that is exercise. As is quite clear from my blog name I am a biker first and foremost. I ride mountain bikes as much as I can manage and…
