Cheesy Grins at Cheddar Gorge
Instead of spending saturday pretending to revise and watching the Giro d’italia on Eurosport instead, I took up the invitation to go ride on the mendips.

Birthday
Had a pretty amazing Birthday; thanks to everyone who wished me a happy one. Particular mention will have to go to Levi, Sarah, Mike and Trevor who put on a whole birthday meal for me – Sarah even made a cake! (picture to be included at a later date!) My main birthday present from the […]

Inspiration

British Universities Championships, Ae forest, Scotland
After a winter of dissertations, coursework and exams, I wasn’t sure I was ready to be racing yet, but such is life and on a cold thursday afternoon in March 18 of us from the University of Bath loaded into a minibus and made the long, slow journey northwards. After the first wrong turn, there […]
