Never a dull moment.
Been another interesting week On Friday the 3rd of March I went and checked out the Show Your Ability expo. It was really good to see the advances in technology and equipment available and if I had the money I’d invest in one of the handcrank mountain bikes. I did a bit of filming and […]

Trying to get back into my “normal” routines
