The tories give six times more money in subsidies to Drax wood-burning power station a year than is earmarked for tree planting. The Tories have the wrong priorities on climate independent.co.uk/climate-ch…
Something a bit different today, playing dead for @MRSearchDogsEng on #Dartmoor. Sunshine put in an appearance, but conditions remained freezing all day. Still, very rewarding way to spend a day, nice to have my bike appreciated too! Will definitely be back for more...
Final prep before the big test! @CycleSystemsAc students, busy running through a complete strip and rebuild, their last practice before the timed rebuild tomorrow. Looking good so far...

Morning Twitter! Last night's ride home and this morning's ride to work. I love riding my bike to and from @CycleSystemsAc, just so good on so many levels.

Fun afternoon in the woods, finding the limits of the @SchwalbeUK #SmartSam tyres, which I ordinarily use for commuting. The verdict? Surprisingly good actually, especially in the loam, though I found the limit on a steep, clay chute! All good fun though 🤘

Out for a little night mish last night, which wound up taking in a few of the more challenging features left in the woods, putting me in the treetops once or twice! Seriously fun ride out 🤘

After a hectic few days, leading rides and maintaining the @CycleSystemsAc fleet, it's nice to be back in my own workshop and working at a much more sedate pace! All the better for having these dudes back, just outside my window, helps to clear my mind and relax.
Been a long time coming, but I'm stoked to have led the 1st @HelpforHeroes mountain bike meet up in the South West this morning! With Hannah along, from the charity, we took 2 beneficiaries out around @HaldonForestFE. With more venues and meets planned, watch this space... 🚵♂️🚵♀️🚵
Keeping myself going in the office today, definitely NOT my natural habitat. Thank god that each end of the day is punctuated with a bike ride! Also, have something special with @HelpforHeroes to look forward to, tomorrow, but I won't spoil that surprise...

Well, it's been some time since I posted here last. A lot has changed and there could be more in the offing, which has prompted me to post this; a perfect reason to enjoy cycling to work @CycleSystemsAc! Can't knock a good #Devon sunrise by bike 💪🚵♂️🌄

The @Express quite openly admits that the repressive Policing Bill is a nuclear bomb aimed at a single individual: the wonderful Steve Bray.
How weak, how petty.
