Fat Lad’s and The Trail Eight Track
June 7, 2012 – 9:20 pm
A friend of my father who drifted out of our lives as quickly as he’d floated in; was a man of far out ideas and off kilter thinking.

Mrs Fat Lads 30 Days of Biking
May 6, 2012 – 9:16 pm
Al was right…….. I don’t often say those words but for once Al was right and I was wrong….. Sometime in the middle of March, Al casually mentioned that he fancied doing 30 days of riding. Me being the sensible (ish) one in the marriage immediately gave him plenty of reasons why it wasn’t a […]

Sick of getting wet. But today was at least a lot of fun getting that way. Biblical rain, soaking riding kit, grinding drive trains and drowned rat friends. Awesome Character building Fat Lad
