So, uh, like - what happened to July?

The observant among you - and as there’s probably only one of you, I’ll assume you’re observant for the sake of argument - have probably noticed there was a great big honking gap here between me buying the bike and then, apparently, blogging about riding it. So the question is, what happened in July (that stopped me blogging)?

The easy answer is “I got a bike”, ha ha. Truthfully that had something to do with it, but not very much really. I was biking all over the shop during July, getting acquainted with Brighton’s roads and seafronts… but not blogging. I think the honest truth is I got intimidated, clammed up, and just didn’t force myself to get on with it and get down my thoughts.

As you can see, I’m now trying to change that. Nothing like writing posts about why you’re not blogging to get you motivated to blog again.

So, what do I have to get written down? Let’s see:

1. The rest of the story of Buying the Bike, currently entitled ‘Nigel looks after me’
2. The Tale of The First Bike Ride (This one, I really should have gotten down on the day… thank God I did notes)
3. Something about my favourite routes
4. A classic ‘whinge’ post about ‘being a biker’ (so I can pretend to be part of the ‘in’ crowd)

And I think that’ll do for now. Other things I want to do, in no particular order:

• Take my digital camera out and get some snaps during a ride
• Figure out a way to show my most frequent routes (dull though they are)

And that’ll do for now.
