The Harris Tweed Ride is starting to become an annual event for me and some of my friends from Glasgow. It is a lovely way to catch up and have a jolly fun day out on bicycles. It particularly helps if the sun is shining. This year it was a scorcher – it was so […]

“Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes, Bring me rainbows, from the skies” The skies were bright blue early yesterday morning, but after fixing a puncture and doing a few other things – I didn’t end up getting out until later in the day. The blue skies where still bright when I left, then they turned […]

The Tweed Ride Trend continues and I just saw a lovely video about a tweed ride in France that made me want to jump back to where I lived in Paris and join in. With the welcome addition of fresh baguettes and I am sure some yummy cheese and wine, their ride looked Tweedtastic. It could […]

Booming Bicycles
The sun has finally come out in Scotland and I hope it lasts. I joined some friends on a cycle through a forrest track out to the beach last weekend and we made the ride a bit more fun by adding a very OLD ghetto blaster to the back of the bikes. Our tape collection […]
