A collection of races, sportives, audaxes or time trials that I might have done.
It also includes any riding in new places home & abroad, as well as the indoor world of Zwift.
After starting my time trial season on New Year’s Day in Stafford this was my next opportunity to whet my time trial appetite. For the first time I’ve now got a proper time trial bike, a disc wheel, decent skinsuit, a non-second hand helmet and was looking forward to getting out there and seeing what …
Stratford upon Avon Cycling Club Reliability Ride 2018 After last year’s non-finish because of the snow and poor group choice, I was back to try and conquer the Stratford CC Reliability Ride once again – this time with Hannah, doing it for the first time. With a newly-revamped venue open for the first time …
Recently we headed over to Mallorca and the Sa Calobra climb for a long weekend with 3 days of riding and some Winter sun. We picked a good time as it snowed at home. The temperature in Mallorca crept up gradually to 21 degrees by the last day. By going at the end of January …
Happy new year! On the first day of 2018, Stafford Road Club ran their annual New Year’s Day club time trial. I’ve recently moved up that way and after all the snow and ice, I’ve not really been out with my new club that much. Having a blast in a time trial seemed a good …
There is a 2019 version of this list here. I’ve compiled a list of local club’s 2018 reliability rides for the Midlands area. This includes the West Midlands and the East Midlands. Dates and routes are to the best of my knowledge and research but I accept no liability (and so on and so on) …
I’ve spent the last week having fun in Malta with Hannah, avoiding the winter snow back in the UK. We decided that a bike tour of Gozo, Malta’s second biggest island, was the best way to see things. In a rare occurrence, we would also be mountain biking as in Gozo road bikes aren’t de …

Obviously I want to keep a couple for myself, but I’m giving the chance for someone to win themselves a brand new, bright orange Zwift bottle! Enter above to be in with a chance to win. Entries …
I wrote a post recently about Zwift and how it’s got me riding and doing Zwift races indoors a lot this winter, avoiding all the wind, rain and ice. Some people use Zwift for solo workouts, to ride with pros, others for social group rides, but a huge part of what it can offer is …
This was to be my last sportive of the season and my second foray into the Wiggle Super Series after Mat and I tackled the Yorkshire Tour earlier this year. I’d signed up for the epic 83-mile route, but had plans to divert onto the 64-mile route given that storm Brian hadn’t quite passed over. …
I used Zwift heavily last Winter and I really noticed the difference this season where I’ve set numerous new personal records and made my first steps into the world of time trialling. In an effort to impart some knowledge for newer riders to Zwift, this is a list of the Zwift keyboard shortcuts that can …
