bikes and things

“….summer can’t be that far away now can it?”

The April edition of ‘Living South’ Magazine had five or six of my images from the shoot at Witcomb Cycles in Deptford. Very pleased they used them. Will get some PDF’s of the article and host them.

All ok, instructions looked a bit intimidating but seemed to go ok…

Can it? Nice to be riding home in the daylight tonight and in a T-Shirt and shorts at last…

Summer can’t be that far away now….

Anyway, back to Part 3 assignments!

Two weeks in to the new job. Quite a change to my routine now, up earlier and cycling further to work which is good. Going from less than a mile to five miles and an earlier start certainly has taken its toll these last few weeks.

Hopefully a bit of base fitness will help me enjoy summer riding a bit more although I’m still finding it hard to get out riding on the mountain bikes at the moment.

Forgot to renew the domain name earlier today. Fortunately it only cost me a fiver to get it back.

Oh and Happy Birthday Lee!

Last weekend I got the chance to go to Northern Ireland with Emma. Wasn’t sure what to expect really but had a great time. We spent one evening in Belfast and then went up to Portstewart where Emma grew up.

Belfast is a great city but seems to have a lot of empty sites around. It feels like it needs stitching together. By far the best place we went to was The Crown. We then got the train up to Coleraine and then a taxi to our B+B in Portstewart.

The weather changes so quick around this area. I guess being on the North Coast of Ireland might have something to do with it. We finally managed to get out for a walk along the Strand. The strand is the long beach in Portstewart but we didn’t get very far as the rain came in again. We found solace in pints of Guiness and glasses of Bushmills!

Next day was more sightseeing and walking and also a trip to the Giants Causeway. It’s an incredibly small section of rock but still very impressive. The walk around the top of the cliffs was great. Incredible weather and then the rain came in again within the space of five mins.

All of my pics are here on flickr as usual. Emma also took a few photos which are also on flickr.

I think Emma spent most of her weekend looking at this kind of thing.. :-)

Hopefully we’ll be going back soon to stay with Emma’s Dad in Donegal and see some more of the North coast of Ireland.

Just flown back from sunny Northern Ireland with Emma. Fantastic! Had no idea what to expect but loved it. The scenery is out of this world..

Starting to sort the photos now and gradually edit them and upload them to flickr. Only 425 to go!
