I went to see Gracia the CEO of Chance UK today and we talked about the kids following the trip and sponsorship. Chance UK are going to try and line up press releases into the Islington local papers, the Evening Standard, a female magazine and Time Out. As well as a slot on [...]

Whoo, whoo. I got the little video to work at least on my site. I tried to do one at the HU meeting but I think it is going to be a bit big but lets try it anyway.

I had a Peter Pan moment this morning. I was outside the flat this morning at 04:30 waiting for the taxi so that they wouldn’t ring the bell and wake up my flatmates and I noticed a young child with bushy blonde hair going through the garbage canisters. I thought they had seen [...]

With a four am start this morning and not getting home from Ireland until almost ten tonight I haven’t had much of a chance to write up my notes. But I did manage to find my PC card so that I could upload a photo of my tent and bike at the meet up. [...]

I was hoping to write up my weekend notes but I have been working all evening (and had to miss my last guitar lesson) and have a four in the morning start for a six thirty am flight to Dublin tomorrow then back for another four in the morning start to go to Brussels for [...]

This morning after packing up my tent I moved my bike from the paddock to the parking area in front of the pub on Lumb Farm where the meet was situated and I managed to drop my bike in front of everyone. So after telling everyone that I wasn’t a particularly good rider I [...]

It is the Horizons Unlimited (www.horizonsunlimited.com) meet up this weekend. I was hoping to be able to get away for it yesterday and had booked Friday off. But it turns out there was way too much work to do for me to go.
I am really looking forward to meeting people who have long [...]

It is funny how emails have permeated my life. I was chatting to someone recently about how when I got my first email address I only knew one person with email and asked him to write to me so that my mail client would make my machine ding. So he sent 52 emails, [...]

I was telling my flatmate James (who biked around South America for a couple of years) about the great bike that I found on the HUBB and he said that $8000US was much too expensive and I could get a brand new bike for that. And not to get hung up on a BMW [...]

I rode my bike to work for the third time ever as I have one of my last motorbike maintenance classes tonight and I need to turn down the idle speed from 3000 revs.

I decided to take another route to the one I usually do so went right through town following a scooter and then [...]

With the number of flags around I feel like I am middle town America on July 1st. This is one of my neighbouring council estates near where I live.
I am finally considering that I should maybe get a new bike so I have replied to a posting on the HUBB of a couple who [...]

After a weekend of starting my bike at the lights when it cut out and feeling it judder along even at high speeds I am going to ask Motoden, where I bought my bike, about either taking my bike back or paying for a bmw specialist service.
When I picked it up on Saturday I was [...]

This weekend I got my first taster of what it is going to be like travelling by bike. I rode up into Northern Wales and these are a few of the things that I learnt about bike riding.
Bugs: When I first got my bike helmet I was worried about any lack of visibility. [...]

Getting to the stage where I have ridden my bike bugger all in the last few months I am starting to get slightly nervous about my ridding ability before my trip. So I am going to go and pick up my bike from the dealership and put a bit of duck tap over the [...]

I live in Holloway. Though when asked I usually say I live on Camden Road as Holloway in most people’s minds in the UK is synonymous with the women’s prison that is pretty much opposite the council estate I live on.
Yesterday I got home and someone had put a ladder up the front of [...]
