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 …

Patches are now gone! Thanks to everyone who bought one 🙂 🙂 :-)We will be producing a second run of our patches, so fret not if you missed out first time around! It'll likely take us a few weeks to get them sorted, but we will let everyone know via the blog and the Instagram …

Old haunts…

On May 13, 2020 By grassupthemiddle2 Comments

A hint of nostalgia today... After seeing Paul’s recent early morning explorations around our local trails I decided to go out by myself and take a fresh look at those trails, the same trails I used to ride every day on my way into work. It’s been a while now since I was lucky enough …

Something’s brewing…

On May 4, 2020 By grassupthemiddle7 Comments

How's everybody doing out there? For a variety of reasons we've been a bit quiet over last few months, but we haven't been idle! Without mentioning the obvious, there has been plenty going on to keep us all occupied with things 'non cycling' related recently. Something that Steve and I have been talking about for …

Muddy lane connoisseur…

On December 16, 2019 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

I sat at the bench this morning enjoying the sunshine, as usual I took a photograph of my bike and posted it to Instagram, a simple expression of gratitude for the day. The egg and mushroom butty was savoured, my flask coffee was endured and I reached for my book, in short time my phone …

All the gear, no (gears) idea…

On October 29, 2019 By grassupthemiddle2 Comments

So we finally did it... Arranged a full two day excursion from the hustle and bustle of our home town streets to the leafy green Peaks, to celebrate Aidan's 23rd. He had somehow managed to bribe the weather so we could have a full day of riding in not-so-miserable conditions! As a crew we all …

A change is as good as a rest..?

On October 22, 2019October 22, 2019 By grassupthemiddle5 Comments

Life has taken a few twists and turns of late, losing a parent is a difficult and consuming process and it’s very easy to forget that your own health and well being needs some attention now and again, my usual method is to ride my bike. I’d managed to get out a few times during …
