About Me
Fell in with a group of mad ultra-runners and in early 2011 found myself in a pair of running shoes for the first time.... A few stop start goes at running took me up to completing an ultra in March 2017 - a short one and slowly - before falling out of love with it and stopping completely. Bought an ebike in August 2021 and currently loving it. Full midlife crisis followed in October 2022 when I bought an e mountain bike. Its cheaper than a Porsche or a toyboy, and probably a lot more fun. Show More...
