Where can you find amateur racers, weekend riders and former World Hour Record holders (namely Alex Dowsett ) racing around a park in the middle of the night, through bitterly cold temperatures and rain? Now in its second year, the Red Bull Time Laps is a one-of-a-kind event. ‘The World’s Longest One Day Race,’ they call it. Why...

Winter is coming. That bite in the air is here and outdoor training might be feeling more like a punishment than the stress-relieving and rewarding effort it used to be. There are lots of different types of indoor training you can do to get away from the cold and dark days, but Speedo recommends you go swimming. Why? Because we love swimming (...

This year has been a total whirlwind and one I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’ve been super busy doing a variety of different work and doing my best to keep myself as fit as possible leading up to the events I'm signed up to. The first event was Prudential Ride London which was amazing. Beforehand, I was really looking forward to just...

Disclaimer: If you don't have a vested interest in making cycling pee-stops for women easier, please look away now. Bib shorts are great, aren’t they? If you’re a fan, you’ll be familiar with the comfort of having your shorts held in place by comfy straps rather than an annoying waist-band. We love bib shorts. That is, until...

On the UK's increasingly busy roads, driving can be pretty stressful at times. Even more so when you need to share the road with cyclists who don't even pay road tax or pass a test. Riding two-abreast, dodging road tax, whizzing along while you wait at the lights - cyclists can be an irritation but what does current UK legislation and the...

‘I want to see China’ Hannah said to me one Sunday afternoon over a roast dinner at our local pub. ‘Why don’t we cycle there?’ I said between half a roast potato and fork full of peas. It was as simple as that. On the 5th May we left London. Our bikes that we’d spent the last month or so building were loaded...

I’ve raced the women’s ‘London Classique’ a few times & have always wanted to take part in the sportive. 100 miles is quite daunting but I’ve been following the Zwift PRL training plan & have found this has really helped...
