Felt a bit rough heading home today but it's all good training, I'll get some rest over the weekend and start again on Monday. check out the videos to find out more, we also have merch if you want a snazzy P2TM t-shirt or hoodie. It's all to raise money for the @wackenfoundation.official

Had a little get together of the gang at the weekend, it was nice to shake off those winter blues with some of my favourite humans :)

This was last year's route, I did have some technical difficulties while logging my route on a couple of days due to me dropping the super fragile pixel 7 pro that I threw in the bin when I got home.
