According to Wikipedia, the comfort zone is a "behavioural state within which a person operates in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviours to deliver a steady level of performance, usually without a sense of risk". We all have comfort zones in relation to most areas of our lives. Self applied limits as to how far we'll allow ourselves to go. The tendency … [Read more...]

Strava KOM video – Moel y Gamelin descent.
A solo evening ride back in May 2012 produced this great footage of a really enjoyable descent, which I found out later was a strava segment and I'd got the KOM! … [Read more...]
ScarletFire Cycling Videos from 2012
Here's a quick roundup of the ride videos I made in 2012, in chronological order. (Hint, they probably get better as time advances.) … [Read more...]

Etape Cymru 2012: The Movie
Etape Cymru 2012 was an awesome event. Forget all the negative stuff about the first event in 2011, the new organisers did a fantastic job in 2012. But don't just take my word for it, here's what twitter had to say. Here's my "proper" video of the event as I experienced it. I also made a daft, entertainment version of the Horseshoe Pass segment, in a Nintendo, Mario Kart … [Read more...]
Etape Cymru 2012: Horseshoe Pass video
Now, I am working on a "proper" movie of my Etape Cymru footage, but when I saw my footage for the Horseshoe Pass, I couldn't resist the temptation when I realised how many riders I had passed. … [Read more...]
Riding with Rhyl CC, 10th June 2012.
After a week of foul weather, and low temperatures for the time of year, it was actually very pleasant today. Here's my route, but the club section was only the upper half, of about 30 miles. One of the lads had a head cam on, and here is the film he edited. It makes a change for me to be able to see myself in a film like this, as I'm usually the one behind the camera. … [Read more...]
GoPro video from Rhyl CC club run – May 6th 2012.
This video took about as long to edit as the ride itself (about 5 hours). However, a few of the guys had not been up that way before and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were blown away by the route. One of the chaps even proclaimed it to be one of the best rides he'd ever done! … [Read more...]
Cheshire Cat 2012 – The Movie (unofficial)
It was worth looking like a complete twonk with a camera strapped to my helmet to get this footage. I've had many kind comments already about the Mow Cop footage (edited down in this version of the film) from people who rode the event, saying how nice it is to be able to relive moments from the day. I hope my little movie helps you recapture that feeling! … [Read more...]
