New Year Resolutions
New Year resolutions usually involve reflecting upon self-improvement; do more exercise, spend more time with the kids, lose weight, be more sociable….the list goes on. Sadly however 88% of us will fail…. and the reasons why?….35% of us set unrealistic goals, 33% don’t keep track, 23% forget about them and 1 in 10 made too many. Not a good outlook, however there are ways to increase your chances of success: Focus on 1 or 2 key goals in stead of a big list – when one resolution falls by the wayside, the others usually follow suit. Make your resolutions public – you are more likely to succeed if others are watching what you’re doing!

Cycling Holiday in North Wales
If, like me, youâve been inspired by team GBâs performance in the velodrom during the London Olympics, you might want to consider bringing your bikes along when you next visit North Wales. Hereâs a couple of places for you to consider. Coed Y Brennin Probably the best mountain biking centre in the UK. Miles and miles of rugged trails with fantastic names like âBeast of Brenninâ, âDragons Backâ and âMinour Tourâ. The trails are colour coded according to difficulty similar to ski slopes.
