Catch Up & U-Turn!

Having written my last blog whilst out in the middle of Majorca it’s easy to forget the minor details. I think I read it somewhere that your brain has over 40,000 thoughts in a day and only stores and ponders on about 2000 as it cannot hold that amount of information. It filters stuff for […]

Helicopter View!

As is always the case I have yet to find a title for this one but I’m sure it’ll come to me sooner or later! I’m currently writing this whilst having an easier day on the bike ahead of another attempt at Sa Calobra tomorrow! Since coming back from Majorca in February I’ve been toying […]

Counselling….

I’ve referred to it a few times over the past few years but I’ve been going to a counsellor, at their house, about 45 minutes away from where I live.
