Dalby ..again

Went to dalby yesterday.... on my own really good although parts off it I still couldn't ride because of strong winds from over a month ago that took down some trees. I only stopped a couple of times on the track and once for lunch. This time I  had install a app called my tracks that when switched on creates a trailing position of your moment. Absolutely fantastic for days like yesterday....

Toward the end of the ride when my body had just given up some guy in his late 50s came whistling past me.. amazing, hope I'm as healthy as that when I'm older!

National railway museum

Even though we live in York and have been visiting York all our lives unbelievably we have never actually been to the railway museum! We went with a work college of mine, Joe armitage and his family. We had great day, I actually enjoyed looking at the trains. There quit a feet of engineering, engineering master pieces! And most of them are getting on to be hundred year old. They had a bullet train which is something that I've always want to go on and I finally got the chance! We also got to ride the Hogwats express as used in the harry potter films!
We had the kids with us which was great to see how excited they get, but I might go back one afternoon to have time to read up on some of the trains

First run at dalby

Took my new bike up to dalby yesterday. It's a specialized pro pitch. Absolutely awesome, such a difference from my old bike. Cuts through it like butter. Really looks after me and so easy to control. I have no idea about how bikes work, I just no I love riding um!

centre parcs spa

Been to centre parts today at Winfell. Spent the day in the spa. Hoped it might do something for my ears. But they still feel Crap. Going to have to go see the back cracker again I thinks! Lovely day though and a nice day out driving. Cars nacked though, really need to get that exhaust looked at. Steam rooms are great at cp though. A good few different types to choose from. Nice to spend a Saturday with nicola for once as well!

vhub- biggest day yet in my career.

I'm writing this on the train down to London. This week the vhub, a jukebox I have been heavily involved with the development of had its unveiling to the public at the industrys main event. The eag EXPO. It's been a big week for sound leisure who I work for. But for me It's what I've been chasing for a long time, a chance to show I can run with the best of them. At school and for the most part of my career It's been a struggle. A struggle to get to where i am, a struggle to understand and learn about the industry Im in .. web/it/programing. But this is proof to myself that I am capable.
so sad that I haven't been able to share this week with my dad that died a year yesterday. One of the few who understood and saw the struggles in the career I chose. But like he said many years ago now.... things turn out alright in the end.
