Beautiful Moonrise

One of the last super full moon of the year. Took these shots in Swindon viewpoint.

Visit to Shirley Windmill

This is Shirley Windmill. When we moved to Shirley earlier this year I was keen to see this 1854 windmill maintained until this date. It was really good to see how this machine worked.

Beautiful Sunset

A walk in the clouds with Molly in this beautiful golf course we found. Love it.

Hiking on Leith Hill

10 friends. 10 miles. 7 hours. Great British weather. It was a great day out with friends. The first walk in a series of many more to come.

What I want now?

I was reading posts which I wrote 8 years back on what I want (or rather demand) from life. Its a good feeling to know that many of these have materialized. But they were still materialistic necessities in this age. I think it will it be a good idea to keep a track of all the things I demand from life so that I can go back and look at myself and my priorities, thinking and needs.

I am 32 and now have a gf, a house in London. Following things I want to do or have in no particular order:

1. RTW Travel and travel as long and as far as possible
2. Take mum to various places
3. Shepz marriage/career
4. Myoxy marriage
5. Motorbike
6. Good bicycle
7. Sky diving
8. Sea Diving
9. Kid
10. Update Home

A video to remember

RideLondon 2014 - Kingston upon Thames: http://youtu.be/fdvIwmez7v0

My first 100 mile Bike Ride

It was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. It was challenging, the weather was in my words in my favour - wet, windy, sunny at times. It was good that it wasn't sunny as I would definitely not liked it. Overall I loved the fact that I could do it. It was 86.6 miles route reduced from 100 because of bad weather. Box hill and Leith Hill were removed being considered dangerous because of heavy rains, probable mud slides and steep downhill gradient. A 6.5 mile ride to start and more on the return made it 100 mile journey. The preparation was worth the effort.  Time amd money spent on shoes, cleats, new pedals, show cover, body warmers, was useful. Also not forgetting that no un necessary money spent on event branded merchandise.

Few pix here.

The Cyprus Trip

It was a great 1 week in Cyprus. The big fat greek wedding was wonderful experience. Things to remember

1. Skinny dip in the sea at 3am.
2. Eating the fish eye.
3. First AirBNB with M.
4. Great meeting George and Ireana.
5. Trying fish meze twice.
7. Snorkeling and under water videos with GoPro even though I don't know swimming yet.

100 mile ride. All ready Mr B?

Looks like its going to be a stormy, wet, cold, damp ride tomorrow. I am all set, no matter how the British weather turns out to be, I am going do it and finish it in style. Its not everyday one gets to ride on closed roads. Good luck.

Gearing up for 100 miles

Its only 1 more day to go before my first 100 mile bike ride. The weather does not look too promising. Mini thunderstorm on the way. Well no matter how the British weather I am all going in and going to complete it. No matter what.

Here is a pic of the Box Hill from few weeks ago when I went for a 100km ride to Box hill amd Leith Hill.

Beautiful Moonrise Ever

I remember the spot. Just off the M4 in Wroughton. Yellow fields, 1 naked tree, oad leading upto a big orange full moon on a clear summer sky. No picture. I will have to go again on next full moon.

Just another Day..

So I took off from work as the pain from running the previous weekend was bad. Had fever and slept and worked on lappi all day. So in evening decided to go to viepoint and enjoy wine and music (Bryan Adams - The Best of Me). It was a great emotional evening I think I will remember for long. Spoke to my love and promised her to travel and spend the life with her.
