A Grumpy Brussels City Crit
A couple of weekends ago I was standing next to a van shivering in torrential rain feeling sorry for myself. I contemplated hurtling around a wet 1km circuit on a brakeless track bike. I thought of the corners, two tight hairpins […]
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 […]

Fixed 411 Video Series
Sometimes I feel like I’m juggling so much stuff but I just can’t help doing more and more. Not content with running this blog, consulting for brands, producing content for campaigns, writing for several websites and magazines and working as […]
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, […]

Catalonia Whirlwind Tour & ASSOS Domenica Photo Story

Chatting with Casquette about booze and Kim Kardashian

Video: Riding In Switzerland with Assos
One of my favourite parts of my job is visiting my sponsors Assos. With headquarters in Ticino and a very fancy ‘pro’ shop on the shores of the stunning Lake Lugano, it’s certainly never a chore, and not least because a bike ride […]
Assos and Where Do You Ride
It’s all too easy to get blasé about where you live, what you do and where you ride. We so easily forget to notice and appreciate all the little things in life that make it comfortable, fun or unique. Take […]
A look back at my 2015
2015 was a pretty crazy 12 months. At the beginning of the year, Dave and I had just moved back from Italy, and were thoroughly enjoying being able to do simple things such as renew your car tax without having […]
