Work of Art

Apologies to my loyal readers, I know of at least two!!! I've not posted anything since March but it's time to kickstart The Radius again. I've been on and off social media, I've ridden some, I've surfed loads, but not really felt like posting on here, until now. It's taken something pretty special to wake me up. I've not been idle, I've been writing everyday in my journal, and slowly the ideas are coming together. I know i'm heading towards a personal goal, and in the going in the right direction, but that's another story for another day. 

As winter draws near, and the last of the summer light fades into autumn, we know the dark nights are coming, but that doesn't mean we have to stop, hibernate and cease to create. I'm planning on night rides, walks, and post-work nocturnal outdoor activities to get me through the winter in the wild west. I'll inevitably return to being a weekend warrior as far as surfing is concerned, but that's cool, and when I'm not in the ocean, i'll be riding. Alonside this, what is getting me stoked is that my good friend an award winning photographer, Josef, a beautiful landscape, and myself are about to start hunting again for the shot. A photograph Josef can enter into competition, one that celebrates where 'we' live and ride. I'll add some words where necessary, and over the next few months we'll put some great stuff out there. 

Ironically, when we spoke on the hill last night, I had no idea that this video below was being released today. Our shot will be our hunt, our discoveries, our story. This film by Kilian Bron and his team is on a whole different level. Probably one of the greatest films I've seen about capturing beautiful imagry, riding bikes and the history of an area that is on my bucket list to go and walk.   This film has my mind bubbling with ideas on a much lesser scale, but exciting. So, for now, brew a cup of tea, grab some biscuits and enjoy. Welcome to 'The Dolomites'.
