**UPDATE - 26/01/2023** ALL kit has now been given away --------------------------- Yes. You read that right. FREE cycling kit. I closed my shop back in 2015 and I still have a bag full of unused club/team kit which has just sat in my conservatory since. I want to offload the kit rather than dump it … Continue reading Free Kit
As you may know, I've blown hot and cold with Zwift for some time but more and more I'm shuffling away from it and hating it now. Here is why. A few years ago I was riding Zwift regularly. Regular riding progressed to racing to joining a Zwift-based club (Team CRYO-GEN) and then streaming my … Continue reading Why I hate Zwift
With almost 60 responses to my one question survey asking why riders had entered The Gravelton this week, here are the results as promised. As respondents could choose more than one answer, the percentages are the ratio of respondents that chose that option from the total number of survey responses The clear winner is The … Continue reading and the survey said
Couldn't be a better start. In fact the best start I've ever had but it's only been two days lol. Let's see if I can keep up the momentum when I get back to work. If I was to call it a New Year's resolution it would simply be to pedal more this year. The … Continue reading New Year
If I was to grade myself on this year's cycling performance I think it would be a C. I've scraped a pass with room for much more improvement. As mileage goes it was average for the past couple of years at circa 6000km hindered by the fact I no longer regularly commute. 3 or 4 … Continue reading Reflection
Just a quick update on the self-sealing tubes I've decided to go for. The theory is less mess than tubeless, more puncture protection than tube only. Quickly, I used to have a tubeless setup on my gravel bike then flicked back to tubes because of the faff after a tyre cut then, after a double … Continue reading So Far So Good
Just a quick simple ride out yesterday to burn off Xmas Day. I can't remember the last time I went for a spin on Boxing Day. Dan was back with his mom, Sally's mom had left to go see Sally's sister and Sally was playing with her new headphones so I took the opportunity to … Continue reading Turkey Burner
A couple of years ago I decided to rip up the floor in our utility and retile it. I ripped up all the cracked tiles. Measured and went out and bought new tiles, adhesive and grout. It was game on. Much to Sally's despair, two years on and the simple floor job became a refurb … Continue reading Floored
I decided to convert my inner tubes into self-sealers recently after a double slow puncture. I have now done the conversion but due to a recent, prolonged cold snap here in the UK I haven't been out on the bike yet to road test them due to the risk of ice. So here, prompted by … Continue reading TUBELESS TUBES
Winter has really settled here in the past week and looks set to keep going for a few more days. So far it's been severe frosts and icy on the side roads but we've had a dusting of snow today. I have seen some friends a bit further north with a good inch of settled … Continue reading The Matrix
