Bristol Bikefest 2012 report

Team Forme / Bike UK raced in the Bristol Bikefest this weekend. The weather was amazing and the racing was punishing.

A day in Frankfurt – Ironman Germany 2010

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 hotRead the Rest…
