Ride Earth

Hello. Mark here.

Just a brief word or two alerting you to the arrival of Ride Earth Podcast Episode 5, brought to you from the magicians at String Films. 

We suffer in this one. Well, Tom does. He recovers from a potentially catastrophic knee injury, has his trailer mysteriously broken in the night, and almost gets blown away by a freakishly fast-moving storm. But it’s not all candy and giggles for the rest of the team. When the weather turns one night, Andy is forced to construct an impromptu shelter using two of our bikes and a poncho, whilst Mark grows increasingly lovesick and suffers with delirium as a result of cheddar cheese withdrawal.  Drama, comedy, cycling… Episode 5 has it all and more. Don’t believe me, just watch for yourselves…

To view: simply click on Podcast, or subscribe on iTunes.

Enjoy…

Oh, and Episode 6 is nearly ready too…

Episode Four of the Ride Earth video podcast is now available for viewing. Road Kill Duck for dinner and Tom suffers his first injury, tensions in the group continue to rise as Tom and Andy take it in turns to get lost. The boys meet the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and get some insight into local climate change.

If you had asked me one year ago about my thoughts on vegetarianism, I would have replied that there was no argument that would convince me to give up eating meat. It constitutes a necessary part of our diet, we are all born omnivorous, and I would happily go out and hunt my meal if I had to earn my moral right to eat animal flesh.

Well, it’s amazing how travelling, reading and a bit of curious, open-minded enquiry can transform even the most previously-stalwart carnivore. (more…)

Sitting on a park in Vienna after a huge thunderstorm during which I feared for my own life, I find a moment of tranquility and reflection.
