Hello, we are back! (The Tenerife cycling diaries are coming... they are taking longer to edit and enjoy reminiscing on).
Over Easter we took to the New Forest in search of new roads to explore and get some more training rides in, ready for the Mallorca 312 cycling event.
We ride for 200km around the incredible New Forest, spotting wild ponies, pigs, pheasants and making the most of the first bit of UK sun in whats felt like forever.
We make the most of the smooth tarmac, but will almost certainly be back to take advantage of the beautiful gravel trails we accidentally end up on... on the right bikes.
Probably one of the most beautiful rides I've done.

A little about me
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m your classic runner turned newbie cyclist.
For years I feared riding a bike - I was afraid of traffic, clipping in, couldn’t get my head around lycra, chamois cream and clambering up hills on a bike.
I didn’t believe that riding a bike would give me the same de-stress, mental download or sense of freedom that life as a long distance runner had given me before my knees ground to dust.
Fast forward to 2021 and picking up a second hand CAAD10 changed my life for the better. Not just physically and mentally. But also providing a sense of community and belonging - which is magic. The cycling community is just magic.
So I’m here. To hopefully inspire others to not fear the bike - the lycra, the clipping in. And come share the passion, freedom and indescribable joy that comes from being on the bike. I truly believe that the bike life is the best life and everyone should be able to enjoy it.
Come with me on some adventures.

You ride past my house. Glad you enjoyed the scenery. You respected the pony’s too 👍 Woods is fabulous and friendly. Mikey and the team make great coffee.

Oh do we! It’s so beautiful, Rich! How lovely. The ponies are just incredible. I suppose you are used to them now… Woods was brilliant, ideal shop. Did wish they sold a mini tub of chamois cream. Won’t lie 😂 was close to asking if they had any butter 😂

Good video! My regular riding is in the New Forest. A lot of the forest does get flooded, especially as the Forestry Commission have changed the water course management to encourage more flooding to increase biodiversity. It is great for gravel especially in the summer months

It’s so gorgeous for riding! Ahhh no way, I didn’t realise that about the flooding - some of it was quite bad in the roads. Same as round by us. We’ve had some cars abandoned in super deep bits.

I have lived in the heart of the New Forest for 9 years and last November I bought a bike after a 40 year gap, 2 stone lighter and cycle all those roads almost weekly. I never take them for granted and blessed to live here but hearing it back from you guys was so great to here, your enthusiasm was infectious. Clay Jones

Welcome to the New Forest a cycling hot spot and you can see why. There are a few "wild" pigs around and you see them occasionally, but most are let out by farms for pannage in the autumn. Otherwise I'm delighted that you enjoyed all the wild life, donkeys, horses and cattle. Unfortunately after such a wet winter a lot of the forest does remain flooded and the fords have been up as you will probably experienced but glad you enjoyed it and the bird song, amazing at this time of year. Good to see you here!

The New Forest is lovely. I spent much of my life there and will be returning next week for the New Forest Sportive, which was part of my 312 training, but frustratingly due to illness, I had to pull out. Hey ho, there is always next year.
