Maybe someone is interested, who knows, but I thought I would post this here.
Last year I did the 1 photo every day for a year thing and managed to complete it! But I just did it through facebook. I started this year to do it again but I realised that actually most of the interesting photos were from when I was out and about on my bike and the rest were mostly infill photos. So instead I have decided to just do a little blog about rides I do, sometimes will be a long story, sometimes will just be a couple of words and some photos… depends if I can be bothered or not I guess.
I was mostly inspired by this story on pinkbike, it is nothing special the story but I was reading it and suddenly realised, HEY! I live in a place cool enough to write about things like this now!

So yes I have wanted to live in the Alps for a loooong time, I am originally from Northumberland and my bachelors in Scotland but always wanted to in some real mountains so I decided to apply to university in Grenoble to do my masters and I can safely say I have been enjoying some quite incredible riding RIGHT on my doorstep! It is perfect when you can ride up to above 1000m+ within an hour of your door and you live in a city.
So anyway here you go, if anyone is interested to read about what riding is like around Grenoble, it is nothing special yet, I have only written 3 short entries so far…
