Fat lad Realises…

I break the hours of my day up into to two things: On the days I ride: When am I riding and When do I get to eat next? On the days I’m not riding: When Do I get to eat next? Pretty much that’s it. I’m only five foot something, I’m chunky, I have […]

Fat Lad’s May

Here is the latest summary of the last four pedaling weeks of my life: Running Goal – To run at least once a week So far so good. I *think* I might actually be getting better at it too. Scary thought… Riding – To Ride 2000 MTB Miles in the Year Hey, what’s that over […]

For my RSS feed readers

The images look wonderfully formatted on the main site but look dog rough in anything else. Also due to a malfunctioning plugin if you click an image from your rss reader it will give you an error. Your best bet for just this one post if you want to see the big picture (pun intended) […]

Fat Lad and The Tweet Ride That Never Happened

Another poorly organised Fat Lad excursion led to an awesome day at the brilliant Gisburn Forest under the very finest of English skies with the very finest of mates: Fat Lad truckin’ along.

Thinking I […]

Fat Lad’s February

Ooops so… not much posting going on round these here parts… Winter Fatigue has oddly pulled my writing mojo from under me rather than pedalling mojo. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. Anyways onto the round up: Running Goal – To run at least once a week: Still at it. Although […]
