Course: Achterbahn Distance: 47km After the Velo Birmingham last weekend and trying to recover this week, I decided to do a Zwift race today to see how the legs were. A lack of racing recently has blunted my speed. That sharpness you get from the constant change of pace has been tempered which is fine … Continue reading dPAC.fit Climbers Day
Back in February on the last Cult ride, my mate Paul Astin touted a ride that he was planning to Weston-Super-Mare and back in May. A quick look at my diary and it was a 'free' weekend and about a month before Chase the Sun. Perfect! Then I forgot about it A free weekend for … Continue reading Dress Rehearsal

Of course! £120 worth of fast-track entry too, for free! I didn't have the heart to just … Continue reading Velo Brum 2019

All my time has been spent just commuting to and from work with some … Continue reading 3R Watopia Flat Race – 2 Laps
The latest Zwift route expansion sees nearly 20km of new roads added to their Watopia virtual world. I decided to take a look today to see if it was any good and.....like every expansion I've experienced since becoming a subscriber, its impressive. Zwift has garnered some criticism by making the last few expansions too lumpy … Continue reading Zwift in the Desert
I'm gutted. I spend hours researching a purchase. I take the plunge, I wait, it comes (pardon the pun) and then when you fit it, its a mighty disappointment. I shelled out for a pair of AbsoluteBlack sub-compact rings last week. 46/30T. Absolutely perfect for me. My fave 46T outer ring, a teeny weeny 'get … Continue reading When #bikeporn don’t fit
