I wrote earlier that I don’t do New Years resolutions. However, after my New Years Day cruise with my brother I went out with Will and got mullah’d. Since then I have been making and effort and this week rising at 5:30 am in the pitch black has actually been OK. I’ve had two rides…

No New Years resolutions, but……
Whilst I don’t do New Years Resolutions I did feel good rolling out at eight am on New Years Day. There was only my brother and I as the others didn’t make it. We didn’t see one other cyclist until we met a girl at the railway crossing in East Preston, nearly home. Where were…
Wintery, windy and wonderful – Northwave Fahrenheit boots review
Back on the road again. I just wanted a wintery blast, not too quick but fast enough and long enough to blow some cobwebs away and take my mind of business. I teamed up with a young guy who I’ve not ridden with before but his credentials seemed pretty good so, unless I was going…
Endless Summer – Enjoy!
After the last few days I thought that summer was over. But I was wrong. I always get out several options of clothing Saturday night as I never know what it’ll actually be like at seven Sunday morning. I dressed for the cold, checked the thermometer: 14C, changed twice until I settled on shorts, a…
Wet windy and muddy
Today was a treat as I’d be riding with the Awesome Wootton, fresh after claiming another PB (52:41 – that’s an average of 28.47 mph!) and another session with Simon Smart in the wind tunnel at Drag2Zero. That last session has resulted in another 15 watts power (20sec over 10 miles!). Also joining us was…
Don’t break the rules!
I’m not following a training program but I am, as ever, trying to get fitter. One of the best ways to get to get fsater and stonger is to race. I’ve been doing so many races that I’ve not had to worry about planning rides or motivating myself to get out. However this has its…
Time trialing?
I’ve had a week off. Normally a rest is forced upon me by work but this time I wanted to be in on Tuesday missing the race and was pretty laid back about not riding, working instead, until the weekend. The most important part of any training plan is the rest and recovery. I still…
Humbling but still enjoyable
It wasn’t until 5:30pm yesterday that I finally decided what today’s ride would be. I am so torn between road and off road that I usually leave the decision to some one else. If there is a race on that’ll decide, if there is a bike to test that’ll do it but yesterday my riding…
Youth is better than old shoulders and good kit
We were going for a quick and short blast up to Truleigh Hill. It’s a lot of fun with a load of high speed corners and so short that we can ride fast. At least we think that we can. I have bought a bike for Will to try so I thought that I’d get…
Best day of the year
Today was a good day. It started when I saw that it was already 12 degrees at 6:30am. That meant no jacket just jersey and only arm and knee warmers to counter the slight chill. I was going for an easy and flat ride to get my legs going again after last weeks exertions. I…
