Budget Rando’s first adventure…

On August 24, 2020 By grassupthemiddle1 Comment

After I finished my first long ride in October plans were quickly made for an overnighter with some friends at the end of May. In the mean time I upgraded and swapped parts on my 1978 Koga Miyata that I have now baptized... the Budget Rando! Because (a) I want to do randonneuring and long …

Highbrow indeed..!

On July 13, 2020July 13, 2020 By grassupthemiddle3 Comments

At GrassupthemiddleCC HQ (the bench) yesterday morning, it was suggested that we need more ‘high brow, cerebral’ blog posts on the website, so I’m not sure how I’m going to fill that brief here, but let's see where it takes us... One of my favourite podcasts is BBC Radio 4’s 'Don’t tell me the score’ …

A second Chippy ride in the space of a week?!! A first? Quite possibly. Much welcomed regardless 🙂 What a cracking turnout too. 8 go wild for chips, beer (fizzy pop for me), sunshine and trails on a Friday night. What more do you want! I'll let Steve's lovely photos do the rest of the …

The holiest of grails…

On July 3, 2020 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

The Chippy ride! So often discussed/planned/dreamed about, so often unrealised 😦 The variables, sadly, can at times be too plentiful to make things happen. A tough day at work, the dreaded weather, plus a myriad of other minor obstacles can hamper even the best laid plan! Well, last night the planets finally aligned... Myself, Steve, …

Simple pleasures…

On June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 By grassupthemiddle1 Comment

After ten weeks of lockdown, isolating in my apt due to Type 1 Diabetes and following govt advice, I began venturing out on my bike again... The first ten weeks were pretty good to be fair. I got into routines and I was riding the bike twice a day (indoors). The routine proved invaluable and …

Ever onward…

Come August this year it'll be 4 years since we created the blog! 4 years since Steve, Will and I journeyed to Anglesey for a weekend of riding... Still one of my fondest memories. We've ridden lots since then, we've made new friends and eaten plenty of chips! The bike fettling hasn't stopped, if anything …

A few hours escape…

On June 13, 2020June 13, 2020 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

Life has been interesting of late, everybody and everything has been turned upside down, it's felt at times like being inside a tumble drier which wont turn off! There are glimmers of light appearing somewhere near to the horizon, although they aren’t shining very bright, just a dull ember like glow... When the opportunity comes …
