Fat Lad’s Fresh Start – Repost

For some reason the rss didn’t work for the scheduled post so I’m reposting it in the hopes the rss starts working again…

Well, it’s been an interesting few months in Casa de Muchacho Gordo.

I think it’s more than fair to say; I don’t suit office work. The miserable professional details are only for those involved but it’s safe to assume all parties are happy I’m no longer an inmate of a modern glass and steel prison.

So with much discussion with my frankly always amazing wife a decision of change in vocational direction was set about. As of the moment this post went live (Tuesday 9:30 am) I am now Penistone’s* newest Bicycle Mechanic 😀

Time to do something I really love. Time for some retraining. Time for a new start.

In other news, this:

Is Gerald. Gerald is a bunny made from socks. He joins the hydration pack menagerie and as where Seamus** whispers to me on the climbs encouragement; Gerald screams to me on the descents to (and I quote) “Get off your brakes you feckin’ fairy! faster faster faster you big girl!!”

Finally, the slow boat via China delivered quite simply the best thing I’ve recieved in the post for ages:

Oh yes you are now looking at the newest member of the Bikechain MTB team. Or should that be now should be the international Bikechain MTB team? Bigworm, you sir, are a legend in your own lunchtime…

New job, new start. Wish me luck…

Fat Lad

*No really

**The Black sheep of the family… I love that joke but sadly hardly get to use it.
