it’s the taking part apparently …
Weekend saw another trip to Wembley, a place where we have been regular visitors since Manchester City hit the financial jackpot a few years back. A couple of FA Cup Semi Finals, a couple of FA Cup Finals, a couple of League Cup finals and a few Charity Shield games have provided us with an […]
managing expectations …
OK, so it’s not a bike related post but last week Pat and I had Daniel and Emma with us for the best part of the day. We had bought them a tent for the garden, although what we thought was a tent was actually to become a church (or so Daniel and Emma told […]
a hint of summer …
We were just teased a little over the weekend with a hint of summer, unfortunately I didn’t have a great deal of time to be on the bike due to other commitments, but I did manage a couple of hours out and about 90 miles on the Vulcan yesterday morning … some pictures below.

manchester bike show 2017, part 1 …
I went down to the Manchester Bike Show with my nephew yesterday at Event City which is located right next door to the Trafford Centre. The weather in Manchester on Saturday was just glorious and although I didn’t travel by bike, plenty did and they were able to make the most of what felt like […]
you don’t always think about this stuff but …
I was asked recently to look at a product that essentially is an online storage/archiving facility for your own digital legacy. It’s called Vivala.me and it looks like a pretty neat and secure, online service for not only fully protecting all your digital information, but then actually managing it properly if the worst were to […]
