Summer sale ends this Sunday at 4.30pm in Taunton and 5pm in Bristol. Still many deals to be had, all 2010 bikes at clearance prices, up to 50% off clothing and even deals on 2011 bikes. 2010 bikes are going fast so get down early! See you all there.

Sunday dawned with an air of expectancy, skies considerably clearer than the preceding few days and a race planned and organised by some of the best in the business to attend.  BADTri deserve massive credit for getting this potential giant out of its slumber.  An open water swim, and closed roads for the bike section…  [...]

If you’ve been in the shops this week then you’ve probably seen a bit more disarray and chaos than normal. Staff buzzing round with signs and Sharpie markers and generally looking even more busy than normal. Well, thanks for your patience and understanding, but its all for you cos we go to sale today (Sat [...]

So, summer had arrived and the chairlifts were calling again, but having been to Morzine pretty much every year for the last 13 years we needed a change. It was time, then, for a 6am Eurotunnel and 11 further hours of driving in Posh’s slightly-worse-for-wear van. Hence we found ourselves, for our first time ever, [...]

I received these bits as part of a care package from the guys at Zyro, feeling hugely grateful as although I had recently purchased a full-blown winter training jacket in Spain, I had nothing to combat the late spring oddness we call domestic weather.  The thought of hastily removing and replacing a considerable weight jacket [...]

There’s still time to sign up for our Orange bikes demo day. We’ve just had the list of bikes that we’re getting, and it’s looking pretty cool. 14″ Five Pro 2011 16″ Five Pro 2011 x 1 16″ Five AM 2011 x 1 18″ Five Pro 2011 x 2 20″ Five Pro 2011 16″ Alpine [...]

Just a couple of races to keep me on my toes.    Bristol City Centre triathlon coming to a harbourside near you next month, followed by Perranporth Surf triathlon – big sea (for a non-surfer), lumpy bike course, and a run on the beach.  Ace!! Longer term, well, I just today entered Challenge Copenhagen – one [...]

We had a sunny day in Wales. Yes, it does happen sometimes. Robin, Mat T, Mat’s mate Jon and I had a spin round Cwm Carn. The trails were dry and dusty which suited the Whyte E120 I was riding perfectly. Unfortunately, at the start of the second loop, Mat’s Continentals decided that they had [...]

How often do you ride your bike?  Sundays, if they really are sun-days?  Daily, in all conditions, it’s a chore, but the blooming thing’s still cheaper than the bus?  Or as often as you can, just because…?  It matter not, a little giving back goes a long way. Sure, a lifetime’s worth of free services [...]

3am and my world howled into life.  My alarm, turned up for precisely this reason, breaks into my dreamland all too easily.  Still, it’s race day – I needed to be up and moving.  Downstairs to the hotel lobby and a large, Euro-style breakfast – lots of bread, meat and cheese, and plenty of hot [...]
