And it’s not just the hills….. Fecking winter. Fecking replacing more parts again. Fecking not having enough hours in the week to do everything I want to. Fecking lack of willpower. Fecking non-existant self control when it comes to my bloody sweet tooth… And breath……. Urgghhhh. I’m glad I got that out of the way. […]

Fat Lad Sulks
November 2, 2008 – 9:25 pm
Thursday night is always a ride night… it’s the law This Thursday was special as Fat Lad was going to use all the twinkly halloween things we bought in the States, including……… Twinkly Halloween Lights Spiralling Wheel lights, and A glowing pumpkin (that’s right Fad Lad likes flashing lights….. apparently it soothes his soul!) However […]
Fat Lad is Feeling Guilty
October 27, 2008 – 2:20 pm
Autumn is in full flow and my poor numb toes have had enough. Painful digits decree that I must get some more winter boots before the really cold weather kicks in and with this in mind I headed out to a local bike shop to get some some new boots. That is; after I checked online […]
Fat Lad’s Commute
October 20, 2008 – 1:21 pm
This was going to be a twitter “inanity” originally but too much happened on the way in to fit into 160 characters… Most weeks I ride to work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on the (*shudder*) road bike. Mostly, for the traffic density, it’s quite incident free. I get the occasional SMIDSY* but otherwise it’s a […]
Fat Lad Has Found It
October 16, 2008 – 9:58 am
It was last seen here: and Tuesday night with good banter, great friends, an awesome ride but with shit weather it was found right about here: My Mojo. It’s back baby.

Mrs Fat Lads Flicks…..
October 3, 2008 – 1:04 pm
Thought i’d take over this corner of the internet for a while! I’ve taken a photo or two whilst the Fat Lad and I have been on our travels and so I thought i’d shamelessly plug my website as its got photos of people we have met and rides we have done on our adventures. […]
Fat Lad Public Service Announcement
September 18, 2008 – 6:31 am
USA we are packed, ready and inbound. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. The big metal bird leaves tommorow and the bikes and soul stealers are raring to be let free in the land of the big portions. Fat Lad Excuse the piss poor image at the top of the post but all the good […]
Fat Lad Plays With His Spanners
September 13, 2008 – 1:48 pm
To fit these: Long term readers may remember that I fitted the very same make of pedals a few years back: Clicky I’m quite happy with how they have performed considering how much muddy abuse they’ve received and how little maintenance they have been given. And I always hated that rug….. So when it come […]
Fat Lad Dashes Through Dalby Forest
August 28, 2008 – 8:00 am
One from the depths of time this Phil and I hit the North Yorkshire MTB playground some time early May…. For a change I was running late. Phil had turned up and somehow I had turned a mornings worth of preparation into a last minute dash. Deservedly berated I was ready at last. Heading out […]
Fat Lad’s Last Lap
August 11, 2008 – 2:30 pm
SITS 2008, it was my sixth endurance event and despite putting my self through 132 hours of mostly mud filled hell I’d yet to swing the last lap. It might just be our crew of ragged trousered cyclists who hold up the last lap of an endurance event in misty eyed esteem or maybe pedallers […]
