Riding a bike on everyday journeys, exploring new territory and I am always looking for the next adventure 🚴🏼‍♂️. I can often be found on the streets of Cardiff and Newport.

Never underestimate what a bike can do for your mental and physical health.

It’s a bit nippy!

The mornings are still very cold for late April and I’m still wearing thermals. Beautiful sunrise this morning and it will no doubt warm up later.

Out with the dog trailer and the dog of course.

The sunshine was too good to waste and we took a a ride into Newport with the dog riding like a king in the trailer. It’s very rare the my other half rides a bike, but I gladly took the opportunity to get out on two wheels.

Fresh wheels ride.

A little test ride this morning on the new wheels, which are pre loved and in very good condition. My ride this morning confirmed I had done the right thing.

It was really chilly this morning. Fingers and toes were feeling it.

Afan Valley, Rheola Forest, Rhigos and finally some downhill.

This was a tough one that tested my resilience. I set off from Port Talbot up the Afan Valley, which is a typical disused railway line with 10 miles of steady climbing, before passing through Glyncorrwg and then the work began with 6 miles of climbing. The views were stunning.…

Very, nice the views look stunning and worth all that climbing 👌 sometimes the most frustrating route issues leading to the best experiences, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time 😊

Newport was the plan….

I set off this morning heading for Newport this morning, but it short lived due to a road closure and there was no way I was going to use the A48, so a change of plan and I ended up in a part of the city I am totally unfamiliar…

good that you had a good gut feeling and everything went well😀👍 in our area there are also quite a few construction sites at the moment that you have to drive around....sometimes quite annoying....but you also get to know shortcuts that you didn't know before😂 Interesting sculpture
