It's been a very very very long time since I wrote a few lines this here blog. The stubbornly optimistic one has a few more recent scribblings on it, and the optimisticality website keeps me busy these days.
However.. since I was last here quite a lot has happened.
SnS training is no more, and I've moved very much into the academic advocacy and political fields. I'm starting a masters course at my old uni (Sunderland) and very much looking forward to that. A lot has happened in the time since my last few scribbles here, but to summarise:
Firstly: I had to sell my Trusty T130.. and "Jonny 5" is now doing sterling service north of the border in Scotland for his new keeper.
Secondly: Having stopped riding due to other commitments, age and injury, and also simultaneously not running due to impact on knees, the inevitable happened.. I put weight on and got out of condition. (go figure)
However, things go full circle in life and I am in the middle of planning to get my paws on a new steed that I'm pretty excited about. I'm gonna keep the exact bike under wraps for a bit but I've never owned one quite like this and it should be interesting to ride the tracks that Jonny 5 and I put some strava times into and see where the comparisons are.
I also have my old classic retro build sitting in the house that just needs little bit of TLC for those more nostalgic rides.

Sadly I had to move house unexpectedly and as a result I lost the awesome workshop and other classic frames I had acquired as part of my plans to create and film future projects, but life is for living, not collecting regrets, so all we can do is pedal onwards...
I of course plan to keep you guys up dated on how life goes and the ups and downs of riding again ...
The count down has begun ... I wonder where the trail may take me this time?
stay tuned !
