1955 National Road Race Champion Graham Vines I found this picture today whilst searching for something else. It was taken in 1958 that fellow looks rather sharp.
Paris-Roubaix Intervals
North, East, South, West. Not necessarily in that order. In my long ride base training after cross for Paris Roubaix I've ridden out to Essex (bad times), North London (muddy good times) and on Sunday I rode South to Kent (hilly sunny times).So next is the chocolate cake ride to Windsor (hmmm) and then I'll be done. All points covered. Cobbled Theory From memory the cobbles are 2-5 minute sectio

London Eye
Went on the London eye last night at sunset. It was good. I've been before, a couple of years ago but it's always nice to take in the views of London and check out the new landmarks that have arisen. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Blind Faith
I've never attempted to use a Garmin 705 (the one with maps) properly. Usually I know the route or I have a map but know most of the route.

I exported my ride data from the 2010 Rapha Hell of the North to the unit as a course (simple function w

Those days of hate
Oh my goodness. What did I say in my blogpost before I went ski-boarding. Oh yeh, I'll get right on that cycling stuff. So I did and it was one of my most miserable rides ever. I don't consider myself to be a novice and yet on Sunday so much stuff just went wrong, I shouldn't be allowed to get on a road bike. So went out for a '50 miler' around Essex. Met at Condor for 9am. Its dry and there
