Sunny Weekend Trip to the Phoenix Park

Check out my blog post on my visit to the Phoenix Park this sunny weekend.

Should cyclists worry about hearing loss?

The Easter holidays were over and it was time to go back to work. It struck me how nice it has been cycling around estates and greens within 5k of my home. I commute to work down the Ongar Distributary Road and it was concerning how loud the noise of the cars was. Perhaps it…

Royal Canal Blakestown

Today we decided to cycle to the Royal Canal Blakestown. We planned the journey because we knew it would be a nice day and it was the last Sunday before I return to work after 2 weeks holidays. I had bought Paul a compact picnic table as a gift and we (as in me –…
