Mendip Rouleur: January 2015
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Wednesday, 21 January 2015. Ten rules for cycling on ice. I rode to work yesterday. And it sure was cold. Only marginally warmer today. But it was enough to tempt me into the wilds of the country lanes around the airport. Big mistake. Merchandise and writing a column for an arty, but little read cycling magazine. 1 If there is any hint of ice, don't go out unless you have to. And then, only in a car...

Mendip Rouleur: May 2015
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Monday, 4 May 2015. A sense of inspiration - Brevet Cymru 400km Audax 2015. Picture the scene. A community centre in a small village just outside Crickhowell, Wales. It's 12.30AM. After midnight. Those assembled inside are a mixture of the weary and the supportive. All are hushed, it is deep within a residential area after all. There is always the option of getting your head down here for a few hours on...

Mendip Rouleur: No end to love
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015/07/no-end-to-love.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Saturday, 25 July 2015. No end to love. I have done something that many of you may see as an extravagant waste of money. I have just spent £510 having my watch repaired. It even shocked me a bit. Of course it's not just any watch. But still. At the time I was probably pretty dismissive. I was so up myself. Do me a favour. For £255 (quite a lot of money for the time) and became the proud owner of an...

Mendip Rouleur: Just for me to kick in space
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015/07/just-for-me-to-kick-in-space.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Saturday, 4 July 2015. Just for me to kick in space. Have you ever been to Swindon? It's the butt of many jokes and much derision. A staging post on Brunel's great endeavour to Bristol, and now largely regarded as a somewhat soulless and graceless place. A blot on the landscapes of the Marlborough Downs and nearby Vale of the White Horse. The latest in my top ten songs all comes out of that conflation, ...

Mendip Rouleur: April 2015
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Sunday, 26 April 2015. I put it there with a magic marker. Today, (well technically yesterday since I am writing this at 12.16AM) I rode the White Horse Challenge. Who knows if that would have been different had they stuck around? If you want to read a cycling description, I'm sure there will be one from The Cycling Mayor. Soon, or else look at my very amusing and entertaining blogs from year's gone by.

Mendip Rouleur: When all you've got is hurt
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015/07/when-all-youve-got-is-hurt.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Tuesday, 7 July 2015. When all you've got is hurt. Sometimes you just want to get something finished. A bit like a bike ride that's gone on just that little bit too long, I'm working my way through my top ten songs and really am a bit bored with myself now. Well, I don't care what you think much. U2 have been the band that I've followed the most closely for most of this one life. Achtung Baby, t...Sligh...

Mendip Rouleur: Libraries gave us power
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2015/07/libraries-gave-us-power.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Monday, 13 July 2015. Libraries gave us power. Rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause." Or "a musical setting of a religious text to be sung by a choir during a church service". I suppose both those descriptions suit "A Design for Life", particularly when you see it played live in front of the faithful. So whether it's gentle. Make your choice, get some knowledge an...

Mendip Rouleur: November 2014
http://mendiprouleur.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
He seems to experience a rather strong sense of adequacy about his ability to handle most situations". Monday, 24 November 2014. Be careful but be graceful. Picture the scene. A dark Sunday morning, somewhere on the fringes of the Mendip Hills, Somerset. November. 2014. But of course there are no parents. To ride to anymore, so I've not had the opportunity to do that route in ages. "Well", said Martyn, "ride over, ride back, you'll get a 200km ride in, and kick off your Randonneur round the Year. There w...
