Scott Addict R2 – First Ride

My new bike arrived on Tuesday from Bike Treks in Ambleside. They were really good with the order, it arrived on time in good condition and they kept me up to date with the order throughout the process. Top Marks! I spent Wednesday morning setting it up, putting 0n pedals, aero bars, water bottle cage...

Bike Bits

My nice new bike may not be here yet, but that doesn’t stop me buying a few little bits and pieces for it – Well, with a bike like that you have to treat her well! Here are my aero bars, a nice carbon fibre water bottle holder and my pedals – Yep, despite spending...

Buying a New Road Bike

I used to be a fairly good cyclist many years ago. Nothing amazing but I held my own on club runs, put in some decent Time Trial results and did well in quite a few triathlons too. Other things in life then took over and I barely swung my leg over a bike for about...

Dyfi Winter Warm-up Race Report

We couldn’t really have asked for better conditions, freezing cold, but no wind and glorious sunshine greeted us for the first ever Dyfi Winter Warm-up at the weekend. There were around 300 entrants starting from Corris Craft Centre. As well as myself this included the usual suspects that I ride with each week such as...

Which 12 Hour MTB Race?

I think I’m going to sign myself up to do a 12 hour solo Mountain Bike Race – Although it won’t be a ‘race’ for me, just a challenge to try to do it all without too much in the way of stops. I’m not sure which one to go for though so any recommendations...

Putting in the Miles

I’m toying with the idea of doing a 12 hour solo MTB race next year, so though I’d better start doing some slightly longer rides. Up until now, anything over 15 miles was considered a longer ride and I very rarely do a ride that far. So, yesterday I was up at 5am as usual...

Bristol Bike Fest October 2010 – Race Report

I did the Bristol Bike Fest on Saturday, a Mountain Bike Endurance race in Ashton Court, Bristol. Jay and I rode the course at a very easy pace on Friday evening and it seemed really nice. There hadn’t been any rain for ages so it was bone dry with loads of lovely twisty single track....

Bristol Bike Fest Photos October 2010

I hope everyone enjoyed the Bristol Bike Fest on Saturday. I certainly did, the weather and the course were perfect. I was riding solo in the afternoon 4 hour race so only took photos in the morning, but they are now up and available in the Bristol Bike Fest October 2010 Photo Gallery. They should...
