The Tour of Sufferlandria has begun and I’ve just completed Stage 1, Rubber Glove. This 1hr Sufferfest video incorporates a 20 minute FTP test.

One day last week I noticed somebody had written something on the asphalt in coloured chalk. Nicely written with good handwritting and there were two sections separated by Read More …
Today’s bike ride just seemed messed up. It started with the usual Saturday morning prep routine, and then just as I’m about to get on to the bike I start up the Wahoo Fitness iPhone app to record the ride and deliver data to the RFLKT, but it won’t start. I end up deleting the Read More …
On Sunday August 11th I rode in the Muddy Waters event to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and of course to get in the annual 100 mile ride into the log book. It was a great day with a 7am start for the 100 mile & 100 km group. The roll out was quite Read More …
