Check Out: ASSOS UMA GT Women’s Collection
My cycling wardrobe is far superior to my regular wardrobe in pretty much every way, thanks to the fact I’m sponsored by ASSOS. Every time I open a package from them I have to pinch myself – it’s a complete […]
My Custom Wyndymilla Fixed Crit Race Bike
I’m really pleased to be racing fixed gear crits this year for a brand new team, Wyndymilla Hype Energy. Initially, I was unable to join a team and always raced solo as I’m sponsored by ASSOS (year round) and was […]
Save our skin! The best skincare for cyclists
My skin has taken a beating over the years. I remember when I was a snowboarder and model turning up to an important shoot with the most horrendous goggle makes that made me look like Fred Flintstone with his permanent […]
Samsung Fitness Wearables Launch
If you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time, you’ll know that I’m really into my tech, so much so in fact, that Dave regularly takes the mickey. The number of devices I have to charge or link […]
My (Short Lived) Custom Carbon Track Bike
They say that bad luck comes in threes but I seem to be racking up the mishaps and misfortune at the moment. After a frankly quite horrible day that involved nearly breaking down on the way to Gatwick in a […]
Checkout: ASSOS women’s Bonka jacket
My longterm sponsors ASSOS have a reputation for making cycling clothing of the absolute highest quality so whenever they release a new product it’s exciting for consumers. And of course, it’s double good for me as I get to add […]
First Impressions of the Wattbike ATOM
A couple of weeks prior Wattbike sent over the new Atom for me to try and I received a hell of a lot of questions about it, so I thought I’d put pen to paper (so to speak) and let […]
Review: Giro Women’s Manta R Mountain Bike Shoes
Quite some time I was given a pair of the Giro Mantra R to test out and *snob alert* I must admit I’d initially wanted to go for a shoe at a much much higher price point shoe but was […]
Competition: Win £500 of ASSOS cycle clothing
I’ve now been supported by ASSOS for a couple of years, having come onboard at an exciting time in the brand’s history. It’s been really gratifying to be involved in so much of the brand’s development in that time, […]
Book Review: Rainbows in the mud
I’m a sucker for books. My collection has now infested every single room in the house except the bathroom which in my mind is no place for a book to live, though many do accompany me into that room when […]
Review: 2XU Compression Tights
Compression garments, once the preserve of Nannas and the hospitalised are now frequently seen on athletic individuals looking for performance gains through various different methods of usage. I first came across them when I noticed several of my marathon running […]
Red Bull Foxhunt with EE and Apple Watch
Just last weekend my inbox pinged with receipt of a very exciting email asking, ‘Would you like to go to Red Bull Foxhunt in Wales to race mountain bikes and try out the new Apple Watch series 3 (GPS and 4G) […]
Review: QUOC road shoes
QUOC are a relative newcomer to the performance road shoe market having made their first foray into the world of cycling kicks when they launched a range of urban shoes back in 2009. Despite their history, I must confess I […]

Specialized have always had a comprehensive women’s range, paying great attention to developing products for women of all abilities and at different price points. The Specialized women’s S-Works 6 shoes sit squarely at the top end of their road shoe range […]
Custom Steel Fixed Crit Bike Check
After a decision to part with long term bike sponsor Charge Bikes at the end of last year, I hadn’t actually got around to deciding on what I wanted to ride at the various international fixed gear crits I intended […]
Review: Specialized S-Works Turbo Tyres
I’ve been racing on a pair of Specialized S-Works Turbo Tyres for several months and now that I’ve tested them in all weather conditions, I thought it high time I get my review up on here. The foldable clincher tyres […]
Review: Fuelling The Cycling Revolution
Is it just me or are cyclists a lot more aware of nutrition these days? I don’t know if it’s just that I am myself or that I’m really interested in food (because I enjoy eating it!) but it really […]
Review: Blackroll sports foam rollers
I first got switched on to foam rolling a couple of years ago when I began working with a coach. He was insistent that I stretch thoroughly after every session and suggested the foam roller as a good way of […]
Review: Specialized Power Pro Saddle
Saddles come in so many shapes and sizes yet finding ‘the one’ can be a lengthy (and expensive) business. Over the years, I reckon I’ve tried somewhere in the region of twenty-five different seats on my various bicycles and in […]
