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…

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…
A raid Pyrenees
It’s been a long time coming, and on the way I like to think that in building up to this over the last 10 years I have inspired a few riders to seek out some interesting rides too. At last I have had a road trip. The lasting memory is not the collection of cols…
More rain and more punctures
I went to Madison today to look at the new Genesis, Ridgeback and Saracen bikes and also Electron and L&M lights, Elite trainers and clothing. The most memorable thing was the Elite Real Axiom Conconi trainer. Doing your own conconi test is really useful if your are training or racing but the actual film of…
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…
The joy of racing
There is nothing better than watching the pros fight it out in the Big race when my legs are aching from racing myself. I’ve had a couple of weeks off racing so it was great to be back again. It was raining – lovely! I hate the hanging around and shivering but once the race…
