Marcus Andrews-Mackay

I'm 63 years old, back into cycling on my Genesis Fortitude after surviving an acoustic neuroma and prostate cancer.
I'm surprising myself with how well I'm doing and how much I'm remembering.
As long as I'm moving forward, whether on it or pushing it, I'm loving it.
My bike's like the olden days, Reynolds steel frame and fork, but with much more reliable gears and brakes, and still has Dave the Spider as co-pilot.
Also, lots of hiking as we have a new dog! (Rudy)
And Gladys, the Kona Explosif is rebuilt as a utility bike/trailer tug for shopping and exploring with Rudy.
And running- Couch to 5k! This time I'm hoping to get to the 5k....

Home via Paradise

Hot and steep....but breezy today.
Got stopped by a rogue branch, but my trusty Gerber saw made short work of the devil.
There was a whole bunch of butterflies and dragonflies by the stream, through the forest,then hike-a-bike steep and loose on the logging road.
The descent down Badger Copse…

Via canal to N Peth, Kings Cliff and OHF

A lovely cool early morning along the canal.
I found out that it's the Somerset Space Walk, not Great Space Trail or any other nonsense I may have come up with previously.
The trail through King's Cliff woods was cool and muddy after yesterday's thunderstorms.
And my bike weighs 44lb(!!)with…
