My name is Colm Philpott, and I'm autistic. I started this blog to debunk the many, many, many misconceptions about autistic people, we're actually quite awesome when you get to know us! I also talk about three of my biggest interests, music, cycling and astronomy, and also anything else that piques my interest.
Before I start I hear you saying, (Yes, I can hear you, but that’s not the subject I want to talk about today.) “How do you even define an unsuccessful cycling trip? If you grew as a person during the trip, wasn’t that a successful trip? If you made some friends alone the way....” I’m … Continue reading My Only Unsuccessful Cycling Trip
So it was 2015, I’d been cycling for over a year, and I wanted a new adventure. I found something that peaked my interest on Google maps. About twenty miles north of where I lived, on the left hand side of the road was Glenagear wood, and on the right hand side was Corran mountain, … Continue reading Poor Planning, Hubris, And A Forest I Hope Never To Return To
You’ve read about the hardest cycle I’ve ever did (assuming you’re read my other blogposts, it was presumptous of me to assume that but I did it anyway.) Then, in what may have been the most anticlimatic way of putting out blogposts ever, you read about the second hardest cycle I ever did, then the … Continue reading The Boatiest Cycle I Ever Did
So I cycled fifty metres down the road to test if the breaks were properly set up. And that was the easiest cycle I ever did. I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, have a nice day. Oh okay, I suppose to not make reading this post a complete waste of the precious time you have … Continue reading The Easiest Cycle I Ever Did

One day I was just looking around places to the north of Cork city on Google Maps, and to my surprise there was a mountain range there, that I had never heard of, and that … Continue reading The Twentieth Cycle to the Nagle Mountains
I’ve talked about the most difficult cycle I ever did: At the risk of being anti-climatic after that, I talked about the second most difficult cycle I ever did: Now, at the risk of being even more anti-climatic again, I am going to talk about, the most moderately difficult cycle I ever did. Yeah, I’m … Continue reading The Most Moderately Difficult Cycle I Ever Did
My brain is being overactive, much like the Duracell bunny, so I’ve decided to do another blog post, even though my last blog post was yesterday. This is on the second most difficult cycle I ever did. So why did I do my first cycling blogpost on my toughest cycle? Now this blogpost is going … Continue reading The Second Toughest Cycle I Ever Did
My noble steed. What's great about it is it's only a steed in a metaphorical sense so you don't have to feed it. I’ve been big into cycling since 2014. It begun when I sprained my ankle, and I was terrified to run on my ankle for a few months, afraid the injury hadn’t fully … Continue reading The Toughest Cycle I Ever Did
