The cycle show

Hello wonderful internet people, 

I was lucky enough to get a free ticket to the bike show through work, so a friend and I went to see all the amazing new tech that's out there and just look at all of the gorgoues bikes, I won't bore you with details instead I'll just put in all the pictures I took from the day. And maybe there will be a blog about building a dream bike in few months time... 

Bradley Wiggins world championship bike

If your going to build a bike make titanium 

Nothing looks as good as Italian design 

Very exciting. The first full carbon bike from genesis.

Full adjustable carbon stem from look which is a brilliant design feature, hoping that trickles down to the high street soon. 

The essentials for any cyclist 

For me kinesis really stood out and there race light bike will definitely be a future investment. 

Loved the old school vibe to this colnago!!

Thanks for looking through this weeks blog. Have an amazing week

Long Sunday afternoon

Hello lovely internet, 

A few years ago I was in a very different place in life and I was clawring for nothing that would give me a sense of happiness ( you can probably guess the illness I suffer from). Anyway I discovered Blood Brothers the musical the sorry is brilliant and gripping, I've seen the show 5 times and every time I'm hooked from start to finish! We'll get back to this point later.

So this week everyone went off to uni, including Katie. As you all know Katie is my beautiful girlfriend who doubles up as my best friend too:) it's only been two days so it's a bit weird still but I can definitely say I miss her so much! 

Then my best mate Ben left aswell, he's a lad that will always be part of the family. Y'know the sort friend that doesn't need to knock to come in and they just empty out the cupboards for good? Yeah that's Ben or as my mother calls him the favourite son. 

Going back to my original point, there's a song in Blood Brothers called Sunday afternoon, which is about one the main characters feeling lonely because all his friends have moved away or not coming out. That's what it feels like at the moment for me. Feel like I'm 10 again and wanting people to come play out abs no ones around. 

Thanks for reading. Have an amazing week

Just putting it out there

Hello lovely internet folk, 

This is going to one of those posts that has no pictures, but I've been thinking and well... We live in a right scary world don't we?

I mean if its not ISIS competing to be as vicious as the Nazi part in 1940s Germany we have America and Russia threatening to go to war.

Why can't the people in power realise that the mass majority of people want peace, its not hard. Sit down and talk like humans not like politicians. I'm sorry I've managed to hide my political views up to now, but this whole beheading of westerns really got to me. For centuries people have never got on its a fact that not everyone will get on, but do we really need to bring average people in on the global arguments between super powers?

Ok if your not following my drift, imagine having an argument with a friend at school and after the argument you go up to other kids you've never spoke to and then get them to comment on the argument, its stupid right? You just fall out with your friend until one of you decides to say sorry. 

So why can't important people in power do the same? Agree to disagree and move on. Don't start killing each other! 

Thank you for reading my rant 

I hope you have an amazing week

Things I've learnt

Hello lovely internet people, 

This week I had a huge woke up call, now I won't go into details about what happened but Katie and I fell out a little bit. We both realised that we had got to comfortable and were taking each other for granted, which after nearly 4 years is understandable. However it's not fair, so we sat down and had a huge talk which meant I had to get out of my comfort zone.. I'm not perfect so I had to listen to some hard things but it's definitely made things easier for us. 

One thing I really struggle with is saying how I feel, Katie is amazingly patient with me but sometimes even she snaps and I have to be honest and say how I'm feeling, why I'm blogging about this I don't know. Perhaps you and your boyfriend/girlfriend are struggling and this might help. Just sit down and talk everything out if that person really matters they will take on board what's being said and start to make changes. 

As you all know I have a slight addiction to cycling which doesn't really help a relationship. Disappearing for 4 hours on the bike makes having a conversation hard, what I'm saying is I don't have to stop riding. Maybe I could ride in the mornings that way Katie and I can spend the afternoon together having a picnic or go see a film. 

With Katie going off to university in a week or so this is going to be really important, we've decided that we will make the most of the time we have together because we're both studying and no one needs a grumpy stressed partner after you travel to see them. 

I'd your having trouble in a relationship step out your comfort zone and be honest with each other. And then go get cocktails it's brilliant fun... Although I'm still confused why Katie's had cream in it :p 

I hope you enjoyed this blog, sorry was bit serious. Have an amazing week!!
