A Fool’s Spring..?

On March 1, 2021 By grassupthemiddle1 Comment

That term, a fools spring, has recently come to my attention. I’d never heard of it until fairly recently and of course, it was the internet that provided it... I’m not convinced, however if nothing else it serves as a nice title for this blog post... After a dreary Winter the emergence of blue skies …

And again…

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 …

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 …

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 …

5 degrees and rising…

On September 8, 2019 By grassupthemiddle3 Comments

The first real signs of a change in the seasons today! 5 degrees had it 7 degrees cooler than yesterday as I stumbled into the kitchen at 6am this morning. With a fine forecast set for the day, the promise of one of those lovely September breakfast rides was very much on the cards... Crisp …

Monday service…

On July 29, 2019 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

Despite our collective best efforts the proposed Sunday Service was a washout, in fact it didn’t even start, the predicted biblical floods came, and of course whenever the forecast is for bad weather they are always right! Anyway, a ride was needed, come Monday morning the rain had stopped and the sun was threatening an …

Single speed…

On January 6, 2019 By grassupthemiddle5 Comments

That’s it, its all over and done with for another year, thank goodness ! I personally dislike this ridiculous festival of avarice and gluttony more than any other time of the year, this combined with a death in the family meant that my mood and general demeanour were low, it took a few days before …

Gorillas in the mist…

On December 28, 2018December 28, 2018 By grassupthemiddleLeave a comment

T'was the day after Boxing Day, and a long (ahem, very long) overdue trip to visit Will was finally realised. The party for the day was 5 strong. Myself and Steve had promised (threatened) to head out to Wills neck of the woods numerous times, and with Graham and Tom making up the numbers it …

A weekend of two halves…

On December 9, 2018 By grassupthemiddle1 Comment

Saturday, the forecast said it was going to be grim......and so it was. I got out to the bench, got a brew on, ate some biscuits and pulled out my book, and then the rain came, and the wind and shortly after a slobbering bulldog whose owner couldn’t care less about the fact that it …
