I went to Spain last week intent on looking carefully at myself. . My new blog documents my search for mental clarity in the mountains of the Alpajurra, as I looked to climb out of a downward spiral of disordered eating, self-destructive behaviour, and defeatist thought. . Read it if you like. It’s as much for me as it is for you, but I think the messages in there are important for all of us. .

Keep looking forward, keep balance. Time to re-set body and mind. . #mountainmutton . #cycling #cyclinglife #instacycling #cyclingshots #foreverbuttphotos #insearhofup #wymtm #tattoos #tattoosofinstagram #workout #deadlift #weighttraining #eatingdisorderawareness #fitness #training #motivation #hauteroute @whoop
Rode up through the cloud-line into a cycling paradise today. The head is starting to clear after being stuck in a very dark cloud for months. Let’s hope it stays in the blue skies when I fly back to the UK on Sunday. . #mountainmutton . #cycling #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #roadslikethese #fromwhereiride #cyclingimages #cyclingshots #insearchofup #lightbro #roadbike #cycling #strava #stravacycling #wymtm #baaw #beautyofcycling #hauteroute
Bikes need a little lay down too sometimes. . Heck of a day in the Alpajurran mountains today. Props to @customcyclecoaching for unearthing such an amazing place to ride. . #mountainmutton . #cycling #cyclinglife #insearchofup #outsideisfree #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #roadcycling #cyclingshots #fromwhereiride #wymtm #instacycling #rideyourbike #cyclingpics #roadslikethese #lovecycling #hauteroute
Found some fellow mutton.⛰🐏 . Having felt a bag of shite for the last month it was satisfying to get a decent ride in the mountains in the bag today. Long way off where I’d hoped to have been a few months ago but plenty of time to work on it. . #mountainmutton . #cycling #cyclinglife #insearchofup #roadslikethese #fromwhereiride #strava #stravacycling #wymtm #beautyofcycling #instacycling #roadcycling #outsideisfree #ridelots #cyclingshots
Filthy posing douchebag. . Had just climbed up to here from sea level and so was a bit crosseyed... hence the crappy photo. Good job I’m a writer not a photographer. . #mountainmutton . #cycling #insearchofup #outsideisfree #bikesofinstagram #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #roadcycling #cyclingshots #fromwhereiride #wymtm #rideyourbike #ridemore #lovecycling #tattoosofinstagram #tattoos #hauteroute
