The short answer is yes, if you want to get the most out of your cycling. But please read about my experience and how I’ve come to this conclusion, I’m not an expert and I still have loads to learn. My first two years cycling were spent training as hard as I could and measuring […]

It started as it often does, with an email from my cycling buddy “what do you think about this?” Now we have places in the official 2019 UCI World Championship Sportive. Riding the same roads as the professionals is going to be a great experience but we have our first 24hr ride the weekend before…

We’ve only gone and booked a training camp in Mallorca…. After last years adventures in La Marmotte Nick, my cycling buddy, and I agreed we would stay in the UK in 2019 and focus on a few of the harder sportives and do a coast to coast in a day. However….. Nick forwarded an email […]

I’ve joined the gym to try to increase my ftp by a few watts over the winter, I’m currently at 203 but want to get to 250 for next year, only looking for a 25% improvement, how hard can that be? I’m lucky that my daughter is studying sports science at Sheffield Hallam University and […]
