So another year done, another wrinkle around my eyes. *shrug* meh. I did all my panicking about age when I turned 30 in October. Now, I’ve never been one for resolutions. Why start something in the New Year when you could just get off your arse and get it started now. But, this new year […]

Fat Lad For a Change…
December 29, 2009 – 2:51 pm
is being sensible. You see, I’ve got man-flu/chest lurgy. Not enough to be off work or really to moan about but enough to make me thnk twice about venturing out to pedal. I did this last year and dragged out a weeks worth of illness into months for a really stupid almost autistic need to […]
Fat Lad Wishes…

Later after the soul-stealer snapped the above, the UK would be in full on white-out. Three flakes of snow and the capital ground to a halt. Soft arse southerners… 😉 Anyway to all the people I’ve ridden with, commented on, tweeted at, drunk with, bikes I’ve fixed, bikes I’ve broke, or fellow bike geek I’ve […]
Fat Lad’s Chain Reaction
December 18, 2009 – 11:46 pm
Right now I’m sat on the sofa bed in our spare room. I’m supposed to be tidying away the mountain of riding clothing so our box room/office can be made habitable for good friends to sleep. Atop our stairs is a mobile of photographs from last years trip of a lifetime to America. I can […]

If you come via RSS you might need to come to the main page to see the video’s below. First up a little weight update: 13 stone 2 then 13 stone 1 then back to 13 stone 2. Plateau is the term I believe. Finally got my running shoes back so time to pound the […]
Fat Lad Plays Out
December 4, 2009 – 3:04 pm
Last night wasn’t a night ride. It wasn’t miles earned, wheels turned or muscles burned. It was a like minded posse of men and women hooning around on bikes in the inclement weather. We slipped, we slide, we fell, we jumped, we conquered, we laughed, we chatted, we climbed, we descended, we struggled, we flew, […]
Fat Lad’s Fun Filled Foggy Frolic with Phil and Trio
November 17, 2009 – 8:05 pm
Being on the wrong side of the Pennines can do funny things to a man. The mere thought of being away from the comfort of West Yorkshire made me forget to take three key items to Phil’s abode. Guiness, Tangfastics and my mountain bike. Spending a week being taught the correct way to wield a […]
