Wildlife Spotting While Cycling In Kent | Life Updates & Event Plans

I finally got out of the shed and back onto the potholed roads of the North Kent lanes, spring cycling is back!

It has (finally) been so nice recently, apart from the wind, that it would have been rude not to take advantage of the sunshine. Over the winter months its easy to forget how much joy a simple bike ride can bring.

Here’s a video of me on my local roads, some wildlife commentary and an update of sorts on me and what I’m planning this year, hope you enjoy it.

Let me know in the comments what you’ve got planned for this year, what your training tips are and new kit suggestions!

See ya!
