Another lovely Sunday morning ride through Whitestake this morning and then back home. 15 miles in total and the weather was perfect.

Evening Leyland Circumference Cycle
A lovely cycle around Leyland this evening in the warm but not too hot weather. Set off not really knowing where I was going and ended up doing 13.5 miles. Thoroughly enjoyable!
A Cycle in and Around Longton
It was lovely weather this Sunday morning and I headed out with my brother around the Longton area for a lovely cycle.
It was lovely weather this Sunday morning and I headed out with my brother around the Longton area for a lovely cycle. Really enjoyed the ride in the flat countryside.
We managed 8 miles after a cycle to get started and it really felt like I could have done another 8. Definitely going to try and make this a more regular thing.
First Proper Bike Ride in Years
Last year I got a new bike and although I have been out with the kids here and there, I was yet to complete (what I would call) a proper bike ride. Today I achieved this with a 10 mile ride.
The weather this weekend has been glorious and with it being a bank holiday weekend it was perfect for getting out and about. I woke on Sunday and would have usually ended up lazing in bed and then watching football for most of the day. Today was different though as I decided enough is enough and headed out for a bike ride.
2018 Goal Updates – 1st Third
A quick update on the goals that I set at the start of the year and reviewing progress so far.
At the start of the year I decided (very unlike me) to set some goals for the year.
In fact I think I would rather call them targets. I am not sure why I like that word better, but I do.
First lets look at what these where:
Record 5k Run
Finally managed a personal milestone on a run this evening as I managed to run 5k in under 20 minutes!
Today was a long day at work with lots to do and to get through. This meant I had not managed to head out for my usual Monday run. After tea and with the kids in bed, I thought what can I do now?
It would either be slump in front of the TV watching football, or simply to continue with the mountain of tasks that I have to complete.
Sunday Morning Short Bike Ride
Enjoyed a short bike ride around Leyland with the boys this morning in pleasant weather conditions.
With the weather getting (a bit!) better, I decided a bike ride would be a good idea before watching the afternoon’s F1 race. I headed out with the boys heading nowhere in particular and we wound our way around Leyland for 4.1 mile ride.
Spring Walks to School
Over the last few days we have managed some lovely walks to school in the improving weather.
With the weather starting to get a little better (although we had snow again this week) I am able to get out a little more walking the kids to school. In fact I am going to try and walk pretty much everyday that I can – i.e. if it is not throwing it down with rain.
Testing Gutenberg on this Blog
This blog runs some software called WordPress to manage the content and do other stuff. It is quite popular (powered over 30% of the web) and it is getting a major new feature. Here is my test of installing this feature on this site.
Yesterday I was delighted to chair a session with the core developers of WordPress's new editor and publishing workflow project – Gutenberg. That chat has brought about this post. Let me explain.
A Very Snowy Walk to School
Woke up this morning to the most beautiful sight as the ground was white-over with a lovely scattering of snow. We decided to walk to school as a family.
It was lovely seeing proper snow for the first time in about 6 years (as far as I can remember anyway!).
I took a few photos!
