Ramblings From The Road
Hello,
Thanks for joining me for the fourth edition of Ramblings From The Road. You'll probably notice the visual style and layout is different to before - that's because I changed what Newsletter app I'm using. I'm now with Mailpoet, which is a far better service.
Enough boring you with geekspeak, let's get on with things! Go grab a brew, sit down, and tell me how you are, and what you have been up to? I'm genuinely interested, so talk to me - just reply to this email.

Fear regrets, not failures
|
|
|
|
We all live in fear The difference is what you fear. Some people fear the dark, some unfortunate souls fear open spaces. Many of us fight Imposter Syndrome on a daily basis, and fear being found out. Some fear being inadequate. Most fear death. A surprising amount even fear success. Almost everyone fears failure. And that fear of failure is debilitating, …

Disaster on the Grand Union Canal
|
|
|
|
The Grand Union Canal I long wanted to cycle the full 144 miles of the Grand Union Canal. The plan was to set off from Paddington Basin, right next to Paddington station, then follow the Paddington branch of the Grand Union Canal (GUC for short). The reasoning was simple: though a branch of the GUC, it was still part of …

|
|
|
|
Travelling slowly Remember, even if you win the rat race, you remain a rat. Life comes at you fast, and that pace will only ever get faster. Sure, there's a thrill to be had from ducking the knocks life throws your way in time, but there's something even better: taking time out. Step out of the rat race, even if …

Will's Unexpected Bike Hack
Especially on multi-day rides, you will often not have the opportunity to clean your water bottles as well as you can do at home. Sure, you'll give them a quick rinse, but bacteria could still be building up on the inside.
Pop into the nearest greengrocer or supermarket, and buy a lime, then squeeze a little lime juice into each bottle. You'll get the benefit of added vitamin C, and as a bonus, the lime juice will help keep the inside of your bottles bacteria-free.
