Jake has two incisors now. There can’t be that many left now. He seems to be sprouting one after the other in an endless litany of teething. Jake woke this morning when my alarm went off at 6.35am. After my shave I popped into his room. As expected he was sitting up looking a little …

May Bank Holiday Weekend
A glorious Bank Holiday weekend of fine weather has come and gone. We came back home from the coast early on Saturday morning. Jake had a sleep on the back sit and Amy snoozed too. Fatigue was setting in by the time I reached Clacketts so I turned off for a rest and a nice …

Morning ride
The ride to CJ was uneventful i.e. I managed to unclip successfully each time I came to a stop. Heh heh heh. Now that I have adjusted the cleats on the MT20D’s correctly they really are the business. You can feel the difference immediately. You feel at one with your machine almost. By forgetting about …
Hottest day of the year
Ok, it had to happen. I tried out my new SPD shoes and clipless pedals for the morning commute. I spent a few hours at the weekend getting used to clipping in and out. No problem I thought. I whizzed down Wickham Road and joined that lovely thoroughfare known as the ‘A20’. I was skipping …
