This blog is often a pointless and self-indulgent diatribe, but the places I discover whilst cycling through this lovely country compels me to photograph and write about them.
The truth is simple; if the weather is nice my first plan of action is to get on my bike and go for a ride. My reasons get mixed up when I publish routes, shoot photos, and then pile it all into this blog as if I'm providing some sort of useful information. Is it a diary or a documentary? Is it a newsletter or just a game I'm playing with myself? Actually, it just may be all of the above.
If you're reading this, then you’re most probably sitting in front of a computer far off in your own little world. Maybe you live in Wales or perhaps you’ve never heard of this place? Perhaps you ride a bike and travel about yourself or maybe you don't do any of these things and you’ve merely stumbled across this blog, just an accidental Internet tourist - and I kinda like that.
Whatever the reason, I hope you enjoy my ramblings and thanks for stopping by.
