How to race (or just ride) Cyclocross
I’ve a funny relationship with Cyclocross, the multi-surface, off-road circuit races that take place over the winter months. I hated my first race because I just wasn’t accustomed to pushing myself really hard and the pain I felt in my […]
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 […]
Five day intensive Cyclocross training with British Cycling
I can’t remember if I actually posted it on here, but earlier this year Dave and I filmed a series of videos with British Cycling titled ‘Commute Smart’ that show how you can utilise your commute for training, how to […]
The Highs and Lows Of Cross Racing
After my first ever summer of training a racing, when the crit season drew to a close I was left mourning the loss of an activity I’ve very quickly grown to love, so despite a couple of spirit crushing […]
Cyclist’s Games – The Lucky Cap
I’m the most indecisive person in the whole world and Dave Noakes ain’t much better. So Sunday mornings in our house are a bloody nightmare – at breakfast we discuss endless possibilities for the days adventure chucking more and more ideas into […]

Charge Bikes’ Citycross (well, Cyclocross) Video
Charge Bikes just released this video of all the action at Citycross a couple of weeks ago, so have a gander and see what all of us got up too. The tiny kids at the start are so awesome, getting […]
Citycross nearly killed me
I know for a fact that racing isn’t my strong point, but I like to try it anyway. Call me a masochist, call me stupid, but I like to give everything a go. So even though I’m better at chucking […]
Getting Muddy (again) in Devon
I don’t actually have a road bike, but what I do have it a Charge Filter Apex, which I ride both offroad and on as well as a Charge Duster. I’ve been out for a couple of rides with Mid […]
My first cyclocross race on the Charge Filter ‘Apex’
Before this weekend, the only cyclocross race I’d ever done was the excellent ‘Muddy Hell‘, but I rode that course after a beer, having a chat, in the dark, in fancy dress and on a fixed gear bike. This weekend […]
