Yesterday we continued Cerys’s bicycle training with a bit more balance practice and the introduction of pedals. Continue reading How do you ride a bike? Part 2

It’s been an exciting week in Pebble-land:
I completed the Isle of Wight Randonnée on Sunday. When I completed the course three and a half years ago I had to walk up the two steep ramps just before the floating bridge at the finish in Cowes, so I felt that I had been defeated by the route. This time I feel justified in posting my completion certificate: Yesterday I began to teach Cerys how to ride a bicycle. I was not confident that I could do this, so I did a lot of research and planning instead of just winging it.

However, I thought it would be a good idea to build something with the current SDK. This afternoon therefore I wrote a new watchface which rather than telling the time generates a new insult each minute. Every minute’s insult is unique so if you manage to memorise all the insults you can indeed use it to tell the time. You can download it from this link, perhaps. Cerys and I bought a blank snowboard each and have been painting them for the last few weeks. I finished mine last night and lacquered it this morning. Continue reading Snowboard Art As I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought a secondhand set of Campagnolo Zonda wheels from eBay with the intent of using them for special occasions and continuing to train on my existing wheels.
