Hey friends, long time no chat. I just wanted to leave a little note here so it’s clear that I’m not a dead doggo. To coin the jape of of average friend (and now colleague), Matthew Allen, my career has taken a great leap forward and as of about three months ago, I became a full time industry insider douchebag and started as a staff writer at BikeRadar. Unsurprisingly, my time is now spent penning wisdom for the man, so the likelihood of me maintaining this wee blog with any kind of regularity has diminished greatly. I may post the odd snap from time to time, but otherwise this will remain as an archive of my pre grown-up life that once was. My advice to any of you who stumble upon this post and think, “cool! This l’il Scottish dude has landed the dream job, I want that!” is to start a blog, take a bunch of snaps and ride your bike lots. Simple, but proving you’re passionate about doing dumb junk on bikes strikes me as the most important thing you can do in my new environment. Until next time, keep an eye on my Instagram, stay positive and pull a sweet skid for me. (Snap from a somewhat ill fated trip to the Sierra de Guadarrama, North of Madrid last month)
