An image of an ancient tree, dark and twisted, partly broken but still living in a far flung corner of the forest.

It wasn’t an escape. It was heading off to those darkest corners and showing how real they were.

First walk out today in what feels like weeks. Went by my old home which looked just the same, the alleyway that was once my quiet place when I smoked and needed an out, the trail that now has so much more character. Love this place, it’ll always be home.

In time, the rain will end, the wind will calm and we’ll all be out gallivanting again. Gratitude for Zwift, good music and Ryan Condon on YT.

We were out first thing, back and then out again for various errands and an appointment. It’s not pleasant at all. Hope Ruby enjoyed her walk and Mrs Z is ok. We may get an outdoor ride in March ‘26, I think. That’s my prediction.

Ruby looks kind of happy to be out there 😂. Wild isn’t it, 62mph here at the moment.

Hope you get to see it, just had a glance through the binoculars. It’s beautiful

Thanks Greg

Thanks Phil, I’m just reading about it now. She’s a beauty

Chelsea Bun wins, every time 😂. Mine too but I can understand a lot more now than I did ten years ago. The road will teach you places 😂

My brother asked me to do nursery pickup for the first time…can’t wait 💗

Thank you

Thank you Gerry

Da iawn, gwaith da 😂. I’m still learning. Welsh cakes are great, next best thing to a Chelsea Bun.

Thank you. Pembrey is one of our favourite places, we’ve been too many times. It’s where we started riding when we first got bikes. There’s so much there.

Jealous, I bet that was amazing. The Masked Rider by the Prof is definitely one to read.

Last night’s dream.

They do make every room feel so much nicer. They’re brilliant at this time of year.

Definitely. I always have electrolytes as I get foot cramps (indoor or out). I did try Rouvy the other week, rode in Pembs so I know what you mean 😆. Your Italian adventures will be calling before long Woody 😊.

I think I’d go mad if something interrupted me while on Zwift 😂. Thank you, just had a racing score increase that I’ve been working on for a few weeks so very happy with that.

Whichever you choose, good luck if a race and happy riding if either of the other two.

I bet, we have two dehumidifiers on the go which work a treat. I never knew I could sweat so much, it’s delightful with long hair but tames it once dry 😂.

Safe to say there will be a lot of indoor rides for us all over these coming weeks. That route sounds fantastic.

Croeso 😊

Oh no, did you get it sorted? Poor chap. My brother’s friend had his car conk in one of the floods south of the county. It was dreadful yesterday. Yep, just about to hit Zwift.

You should visit Rike. I wouldn’t be anywhere else 🖤
