    Behind the scenes

    LET’S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM

    Turns out the “error” part of trial and error is a Turns out the “error” part of trial and error is actually compulsory 😂

Tried a brand new route for today’s Gravel Ride Out and, naturally, we had a few… plot twists.

So, a few disclaimers for all future rides:

🚲 The route is a guide. Gravel has a habit of changing the plans.

🚲 Wrong turns are not wrong turns. They’re ✨bonus gravel✨.

🚲 All trails lead to home 🤷🏾‍♀️😝

For me, that’s part of the joy of gravel. Exploring new routes, figuring things out as we go, occasionally staring at the map wondering WTF Strava wants from us, and having an adventure with an awesome group of women while we’re at it.

Trial. Error. Cake. Repeat. 🤝

Next Gravel Ride Out p/b Liv: 12 September. Who’s coming?

    Sometimes the hardest part of training is just get Sometimes the hardest part of training is just getting yourself there. And when I’m on my period? That feeling can DOUBLE. 😅

But one thing I’m learning is that moving my body usually makes me feel better, even on the days when I really can’t be arsed. And swimming has become one of those things I knooooow I’ll be glad I did once I’m in the water.

Enter my new WUKA Lunafly Competition Racerback Period Swimsuit 🏊🏾‍♀️

It’s made for heavy flow, the print is epic, my swim cap matches and, combined with my @zone3official goggles, I almost look like I know what I’m doing. 😂

Full disclosure: I wasn’t actually on my period when I tested it because it arrived a little too late this month. But I’m VERY glad I have it ready for next time.

Will I be brave enough to swim in it without a menstrual cup? TBD. 😂 I’ll report back.

You can use my affiliate code SIMPELLE10 for a discount on WUKA products if you fancy trying period swimwear too.

Because sometimes removing just one barrier is enough to help us show up. ❤️

    Not sure I know the actual secret to happiness, bu Not sure I know the actual secret to happiness, but an easy spin, plenty of yapping and a bunch of women on bikes feels pretty close 😂🚲

And conveniently… we’re doing exactly that next Saturday.

The next women’s gravel ride out powered by @livcyclinguk is happening Saturday 15 August, starting from GAIL’s Loughton.

📍 Meet at GAIL’s Loughton
⏰ 9:45am to roll out at 10am
🐌 No-drop, social pace. Nobody gets left behind.

You absolutely do NOT need to be a gravel pro. Gravel and hybrid bikes are ideal, mountain bikes are welcome too. Come for a ride, have a yap, eat some snacks. Very serious cycling business.

    Every time I walk onto poolside, I’m reminded that Every time I walk onto poolside, I’m reminded that you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it.

There was a time I’d never dived from the blocks. Butterfly felt impossible. Even swimming lengths without stopping felt like a challenge.

Now I’m slowly collecting little wins. A better dive. A smoother stroke. A drill that finally clicks.

It’s easy to forget that everyone starts somewhere, especially when social media mostly shows the finished product. But I think there’s something really special about sharing the messy middle.

If you’re thinking about trying something new, this is your reminder that it’s never too late to be a beginner. Someone out there might need to see you giving it a go more than they need to see you getting it perfect. 🤍
