[url= http://tomboybikes.blogspot.co.uk/ ]Is here if you're interested[/url]

It is a bit about bikes, and a bit about other things.

Feedback welcome, it might turn into something or it might fizzle out like last time I tried to commit to telling the world my ramblings.

Enjoyable reading, the fun you had at BPW comes through well. The only feedback I have is that you've made me want to ride my bike, and I'm stuck at my desk all day. That's just mean 🙂

Thanks codybrennan, I am not super paleo but it works for me! I have not used G+ in many years, but blogger links to it so though I may as well get back on it!

Inners DH

It's been dry here all week but don't assume all the roots won't be as slippy as a slippy thing. Take it easy first run and then GO FOR IT!!

Try some of the Enduro trails if have time. Look on Strava to find them.

Al Lees, Prospacker, Mince Baby Mince, etc

Good blog - well done.

What are the benefits of writing a blog? I ask this because it's been suggested to me that writing down my musings, I guess like a random diary, could be useful to my own mentality. The issue is, I don't consider having much interesting to say unlike the op here, it'd be full of random guff.

In which case, is there any point?

you know all that stuff that's fizzing around in your head while you are riding along? It's sometimes good to get it all written down. Even if no one reads it you still get to have a look 6 or 12 months later and have a laugh about it. It's good to be able to read about your summer time adventures in the middle of deepest winter, remind yourself it's not all slogging through mud, battling wind and avoiding hypothermia.

Central - I lived in Redcar and Marske, so Saltburn was nice and local, also the woods up at New Marske, apparently Mr Hart built some of the jumps up there, but I am going back a bit!

Chewkw - not sure if complimentary or not... I like it and that's all that matters!

Kryton - I didn't htink I had much to say, it was a friend who suggested I start a blog. I quite enjoy it when I have the time, and as D0NK says it should be nice to read back in the colder months. I happen to be having a little more fun than usual this year as I have been volunteering and marshalling more, so I guess the interesting things are becoming more frequent! 🙂

It is pretty interesting to see the traffic, strange to think so many people are interested enough to read an entry never mind all of them, and most of the traffic is right from this forum.

Interesting to know. Your's has an excellent informative bike related theme though, mine would be more like "random thoughts of the day", more Clockwork Orange than a Steve Peat / Atherton movie.

Ya, can't decide whether it is good or bad but at least it's not like that Cheryl Geordie lass coz that's definitely bad.

Moved my blog and integrated my portfolio with it. No more blogger site, there are a few kinks I am working on but generally I am happy with it, far better than the old one. Even bought the shiny new URL [url= http://tomboybikes.com ]tomboybikes.com[/url]

There may be issues on different devices, I have only tested what I have!
