I used to say that I had got through my cycling life successfully avoiding only two things: rollers and cyclocross. Last year I cracked and now enjoy the excitement (and benefits) of rollers. So that only left CX. I have long suspected that Cyclocross racing would be right up my street and I have not…

Sharing the load. 3T Ergosum bar review
It was really warm as the group gathered by the pier with lots of faces that I had not seen before. It all started slow enough but then it gradually increased in speed. It was the same old bunch at the front but with some notable reinforcements. Not only were these guys strong but willing…
Has Spring sprung?
Joy of joys, despite a typically dreadful BBC forecast it was dry and, relatively, warm last night. Warm enough for shorts and a light long sleeve jersey and for the first time this year no winter road boots and not even any shoe covers. It was bliss. Has our long overdue Spring finally sprung? Of…
Celebrating the freedom of the town & the De Rosa Merak with light wheels!!
At least fifteen were out for a blast around town last night. Whilst I appreciated the tranquillity of Worthing the fact that nothing, apart from the seasons, seems to happen here meant that I didn’t show the pride that you might expect from a lifelong resident. However, last night, in fact every Tuesday night now…
Night ride and Scott Scale 29er Elite and Niterider Minewt 600 reviews
I don’t ride at night very often and so usually get it wrong. Last night, by 7:05pm I was ready to go with lights fully charged and bike ready. I hadn’t forgotten anything and the shop had only been closed for 5 minutes. Was this a good omen? I was going to be riding the…
All the gear – no idea
I am the man: swanky pure white North Wave Typhoon shoes, Kask Vertigo helmet and my trusty Wilier Cento Uno. He’s got to be quick…. One problem, I was not alone. Quick on your own is not the same as quick in company. Despite thinking that I had found form after Sunday’s ride all of…
Can technical be too technical?
We, the shop boys and a few others, went out for our annual ride on Tuesday evening. Off to Stanmer Park to ride some of those magnificent & technical trails. The last night ride that I had done was in the very same Park on a balmy (dry) evening in June. Boy was this different….
The days are getting longer……. and bikes bigger
Oh Joy of Joys, I woke this morning in the pitch black knowing that summer is on the way. We have started to see the nights getting shorter. Always look on the bright side of life. Whilst my foot still hurts I have found that riding is not just possible but easy. I was out…
Accident and the invisible cyclist
I had another excuse today: lifts, and lots of them. With all this driving around town I had a first hand chance to see how invisible cyclists are. It was pouring with rain last night and I was following a cyclist down Lyndhurst Road. I was just behind him as he entered the roundabout by…
The joy of cycling
Its days like today and last night that make me realise how lucky we are to have bikes. Last night it was crisp and clear with a full moon beaming down. What better conditions to ride in? Jimbo and the boys were lapping it up at Stanmer. Then, this morning, clear skies and a heavy…
