I’m currently in New York (hence decline in posts). We are currently experiencing the tailend of Hurricane Irene. Quite a few trees have been blown down, most shops are closed down, but it is worse nearer the coast. No cycling today or yesterday. Next weekend is British Time trial championships.

How Many Miles do You Cycle?
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is how many miles do you cycle? When I first got back into cycling in 2003/2004, I didn’t used to race, I just cycled for the fun of it. Part of the fun was cycling all day – 100-150 miles in the Cotswolds or Yorkshire Dales. […]

I was cycling along on Saturday, warming up for the cycle race on quiet roads around Gloucestershire. I was pretty close to one foot from the edge of the road (the width of a gutter). Earlier in the year I posted about cycling 1 metre from edge of road (as per DoT suggestion), but to […]
