The Cycling Carnival of Love is a mix of road riding and off road riding, whatever takes our fancy. This blog is an evolution of a much earlier blog, which was the seed of an idea, slightly misunderstood, but those that were involved in those early days will hopefully contribute in the same anarchic and random style that gave it a unique style. Let the Carnival begin...

Roller Disco inferno baby
This morning I swapped two wheels for eight and went roller disco baby yeah!
Well actually I took the kids to the local roller skating rink which opened a couple of years ago. My youngest children are quite accomplished skaters and wanted dad to come along, what could possibly go wrong?
The last time that I strapped wheeled boots to my feet was well over a decade ago so to say I was a little rusty was a bit of an understatement.
I laced the boots up, so far so good.
I met an old friend of mine who is an ace skater - no pressure then
I made it to the edge of the rink, yay.
I made it round once
And then again
And again, this was fun.
It is amazing how age blunts the memory, simply skating around is such simple unadulterated fun I really should do it more, hey I am going to do it more, roller skating peleton anyone?
