Update! Coming up on 2 weeks since the crash and 2 weeks of constantly lying on my back. Iāve had a lot of highs and lows whilst being in here especially in the first few days but the support from people on here and the support of the nurses on the ward have really helped keep my spirits high. I made a very deliberate decision last week that Iād try and make this an overall positive experience and use the time to learn about the way my mind ticks as well try and learn and gain knowledge. I could of lay in the bed for 2 months and not done anything but now I have goals again that Iāve set to get nye through my time here. Iāve got my pain under control now but thereās been other issues like pressure sores from being constantly lay on my back so not all plain sailing. If youāve read this far thank you and let me know if youād like more of these update posts in the future. Second picture is my view 24/7
February recap I did start a little glum but it turned out pretty fucking sweet who knew riding your bike in a little warmth and sun, drinking good coffee and chatting shit would cure me. Iām also omitting all pictures in grey shorts
2026 incoming and itās gonna be BIG. Iāve put it off for soooo many years due to embarrassment and self doubt but building my business has reminded me how much I love to create and that includes photos and videos. So 2026 is the year of doing cool shit not being embarrassed and creating more
Iām getting that itch for another bikepacking trip but this time bigger and better. Itās fair to say I did actually enjoy camping too (in Franceā¦ in summer) so challenging conditions šŖš½
