1st Birthday / Christmas 2008

Feel off my bike and broke my wrist - oops!

I created a nice little flash site for Jimmy Doig a former piping instructor with the Black Watch and has been playing at weddings, corporate events, Burns Suppers and funerals for many years. Read more about the project.

I took part in Pedal for Scotland just yesterday a 55 mile cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. See 2007 route map. It was a smashing day the weather stayed perfect for the race, cloudy and dry so not too hot. Race was started by Mark Beaumont who cycled 5000 miles around the world.

My time for respectable too (3hrs 30mins) although I could have probably pushed myself a bit harder but its not a timed event its to raise money and have a good day cycling (which I did).

My wife Leanne and son Luke were there at the finishing line to see me arrive in Edinburgh - thanks for the support see my pictures.

Just back from holiday in Nice, South of France. Which was Luke’s first holiday, he did very well travelling and the very hot weather which we are not used to in Scotland. We managed to catch some of the Tour de France and also visited Monaco which was amazing. See our photographs here.

I took part in the Cairngorm Classic yesterday which is a 50 mile cycle around Cairngorm mountains near Aviemore.

The Race is the UK’s highest event on a public road (632m)- Finish on Scotland’s Alpe D’huez at the Cairngorm Visitor Centre!  The routes take you from the heights of Cairngorm through the north of the Spey Valley within the boundaries of the Cairngorms National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. 

My time was very respectable: 3hrs 11mins.
