Circuit of the Dales 2012
The Circuit of the Dales is a 50 mile hilly time trial through some of the most scenic parts of the Yorkshire Dales. It includes nearly 1000 metres of climbing and a mixture of road surfaces – from flat tarmac to roads so rough it could be almost Paris-Roubaix. There’s nothing really steep, but it […]

Petrol Panic and Stocking up on Inner Tubes
As I was cycling out to Chinnor yesterday, I cycled past a traffic jam of cars queuing up for the petrol station. I couldn’t help feeling a little smug as I cycled past the long line of cars, it was a little like passing a Ferrari stuck in a traffic jam. Not only was I […]
Rudy Project Round 1
Sunday was a 19 mile time trial. The first round of the National Rudy Project Time Trial Series. I finished 6th in a time of 42.29 (26.4mph) It was a perfect day for cycling. Warm enough to dispense with legwarmers (a good job as I managed to bring 1 legwarmer, plus 1 armwarmer). The course […]
March Training and Cycling

Recovery Drinks
You know you’ve had a tough ride, when you are walking gingerly down the stairs reaching for the handrail, that’s how I felt about the 50 mile race on Sunday. This weekend I had two races, a 10 mile race on Saturday afternoon and a 50 mile race on Sunday morning. Usually, I don’t take […]
Oxonian Hilly Time Trial
This was my 7th entry for the Oxonian Hilly. It is an interesting, technical course around Brill, Oakley and Waddesdon. The road surface is a real mix, there are a few stretches of newly tarmaced roads, which are lovely and smooth, but mostly it is lumpy and rough. Definitely not a course for light time […]
Cycling and Pollution
According to a report by the OECD urban air pollution is set to become the biggest environmental cause of premature death in the coming decades, overtaking even such mass killers as poor sanitation and a lack of clean drinking water, according to a new report. There could be 3.6 million premature deaths a year from […]
Tubulars for Time Trials
For time trials there is a trade off between speed and puncture resistance. If you choose a tyre with greater puncture resistance you will tend to get a) heavier tub b) higher rolling resistance. In an ideal world, you would change your tubulars depending on conditions. For a dry day on a nice smooth dual […]
