Slow Summer Cycling

Taking a few quiet hours to slow down, get a bit lost in my old stomping grounds, and make a coffee out in the forest during a rare, glorious English summer heatwave. Lately, being back in the UK after living in a massive, ultra-efficient city like Seoul has brought a massive wave of reverse culture shock. From the pace of everyday infrastructure to the friendliness of a slower town high street, I’m learning to look at my hometown through completely fresh eyes. Come along for a slow bike ride down through the woods, an exploration of historical WWI training trenches hidden right beneath the moss, and a completely un-measured, intuitive iced V60 pour-over batch. If you were one of the 150 incredible people who unexpectedly turned up at our London group ride—thank you. It was completely surreal.
