    Must have been the quietest ever June day on Polzeath though!!!

    Weekday evening in term time. Only 50-60 people in the water…..

    Probably the best surf I had this year. 3ft and working well. Got a couple of 200yd+ rights.

    Great thread!

    January: A great month. Lots of dry, frosty rides, spent more time on the mtb that month than any other bar June.

    February: bit short of photos, a view from the office that caught my eye:

    March: Damp out, camp out.

    April: Away with work.

    May: Top of the nearest hill. Shame it’s out of focus, but just about good enough for instagram.

    June: Pembrokeshire

    July: local ride with Paul and Adam

    August: Couldn’t not have a picture of a ditch with water in it.

    September: Portugal

    October: Wedding anniversary bike ride. weather every bit as good as it was 5 years before.

    November: Frosty again!

    December: Toasty again!

    And yep, sadly the mountain bike has been a bit neglected this year. I’ll do my best to rectify that in the new year.

    Had a week in Molini with Riviera Bike. Went over the bars on first day and thus the bruise. Santa Cruz were in town later in the week and one evening I ended very drunk with CG (top bloke).

    First year living in the Quantocks, like a kid in a sweetshop.

    Not sure what happened in January, but…

    February | Roadie route planning needed some work.

    March | About to drop into Weacombe

    April | Evening rides! First poke around the trails at Triscombe.

    May | Spring commute

    June | Pint in the Quantock Brewery after a sweltering day in the hills with visiting friends.

    July | Being stretchered down the side of a Combe as part of an Exmoor Search and Rescue Exercise.

    August | Arse handed to me on a plate by my best mate, who qualified for the Worlds at half Iron distance this year.

    September | Showing some more visiting friends around the Tocks.

    October | Off the bike for the month after minor op, so treated shock and fork to full strip and rebuild. Would highly recommend Sam at Amped Cycleworx if you’re in the SW, he even sends you photos as the job progresses.

    November | Beautiful colours in the combes.

    December | Mallet finger. The most innocuous injury I’ve ever suffered but 7 weeks off the bike now. 🙁
