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…

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…
Ride with pride!
I posted a comment on Facebook yesterday reminding cyclist to be proud to be British. The girl’s have dominated the Downhill World Cup this year, we have two DH World Champions in Danny Hart and Manon Carpenter. Our girls have been nigh on as prolific on the road as have the men. Britain is ranked…
Big Bike Sunday
Worthing had its own little bike festival last Sunday. We actually got some of the road closed and for 3 hours we could enjoy riding up and down without any cars to worry about. Other than the fun element, the main reason for the event was to get signatures for supporting 20sPlenty which is set…
Pretty but tough – Speedplay pedal review
Since riding in the Pyrenees, which was a real pinnacle in my riding over the last few years, it has all gone down hill. I’m working long hours and have slipped into that deadly routine of only riding once a week. I say deadly as in my current form, once a week means that I…
A joy to be back on my road bike
I got my bike back too late to race on Tuesday and I had to much to do until this morning. I got up early to ride but lost time, believe it or not, reading about riding. There’s so much going on at present that Cycling Weekly is a really good read. Can’t wait for…
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…
July is made for road riding
I know that we are luckier than most with the seemingly endless miles of trails across the South Downs and the North Downs being less than an hour away but, come on! It’s July so you pretty well have to ride on the road. I am not alone in that thought either, there was a…
Ride the road – The Tour is on!
The Tour de France has started and there are more Brits than ever before. What’s more they are good enough to win both attention, plaudits , some stages, even a place on the podium. Well done to Geraint Thomas for coming sixth yesterday. As you know I often tell customers that you want your bike…
