For a while now we have been riding around the deserted streets of Worthing on a Tuesday evening. Over the winter it kept the legs going fast and provided some endurance interval work for the rest of the time. It was (is) a jolly. Lots of banter and few new misses and, with the exception…

It’s not all about pain and going fast – riding is fun for everyone
Last night I got back on the Tuesday Thrash. Bliss! However, three weeks off really made a difference, I still had the strength (just) but lacked the speed. It was one of those rides where I felt they were all ganging up on me. Here’s the ride. But cycling is not all about suffering and…
Wake up call
I rode the Hove Park Crit yesterday. Bad ride! I felt nervous and weak and had no strength on the climb. I rode a near perfect race keeping out of trouble and safe near the front but each time that we climbed the S out of the bottom corner my legs really ached. I knew…
Worthing should be a nice place to cycle, walk, live in….

Will’s Race Report from Dalby
It’s not all about my rides, here’s Will’s race report from Dalby: Round two of the national points series was held at Dalby forest. This was one I was really looking forward to due to its reputation of being a very technical and hilly course. It was more or less the UCI World Cup course. As usual…
So what is our national sport?
In the Barcelona Summer of 1992 I remember pulling off the road in order to listen to Chris Boardman winning Olympic Gold. Little did I know then what that was going to do for us today. First we had the World Class Performance Plan, then the National Velodrome and since then a stream of medal…
