As we rolled into Saturday the weather gods had turned on the central heating. 9 degs when I got up at 7.15am. A quick glimpse outside confirmed my phone's declaration it was relatively warm compared to recently. Kit choice was easy. No winter jacket needed. My Galibier long sleeve windproof jersey and my Galibier Gilet. … Continue reading Last Cult Ride – Report Card
Course: Zwift Medio Fondo Distance: 73km/1Lap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWaQWzTrRBg I was lulled into doing this one by Lee Cookson and Tom Mansfield. Looked a good idea when I read the description. Basically a group ride handicap race. The course was a tough 73km up Watopia Hill reverse, the Volcano climb, the Jungle backwards, round the volcano again … Continue reading BMTR Epic Chase Medio Fondo RT
It ends this Saturday 16 Feb. The last ever official Cult ride. The end of the Club and the end of an era. It was decided a few weeks ago, as we headed into a new season, that with domain name and clubs subs due, we wound the club up. The club had a lump … Continue reading Last Cult Ride Ever

Although groggy, I got up and gave myself enough time to setup … Continue reading The SSS (Saturday Sprint Series)
Its quite simple. Don't be late, concentrate on the ride not your stream, dress properly and use a fan. I failed miserably last night. I got back from my commute and I had 10 mins. No time to do a roll down calibration. I literally took my winter jacket off and got on the bike. … Continue reading How not to ride a Zwift race
Course: Road to the Sky Distance: 28km https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvoQAGxUzgs If I'd have got up early enough this morning I would have joined Tom Mansfield in his race round London, but as it happened I had a late night at Bongo's Bingo and was still in bed while he was sprinting to 2nd place. Bongo's Bingo is … Continue reading Tour de Zwift – Stage 6
Day off today, so I fancied either a longish race or a long ride. I could have attempted a ride outside but the current icy weather makes the back roads a bit of a lottery so I stayed indoors on Zwift. A quick scan of ZP when I woke up and I found the EVR … Continue reading KISS AT Base
