Adrian Timmis is a legend. His name, along with others like Tim Gould, Barry Clarke, Nick Craig, David Baker, Caroline Alexander and Isla Rowntree, make me go all misty eyed about the early days of British mountain biking. He actually posted on twitter earlier today about the 70w power increase. Ha...

I went for a fit with Adrian Timmis at Cadence Sport in Barton-under-Needwood today, and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's expensive but the difference in my riding position is enormous and I could tell the difference in efficiency straight away. According to his turbo trainer, my power outpu...

I've been thinking about starting to do some circuit races too, Andy. I haven't taken the plunge yet for one reason or another but can second Tim's suggestions about the different training rides. If you're free on Tuesday nights, a few of us do circuits of Bartley Reservoir (if it's dry) - details h...

I have read on the net that Garmin have withdrawn the decent software for the Edge 500 to be able to follow a breadcrumb route/course. Does anyone with a 500 find this to be a problem? I presume that's Garmin Training Centre? I've never used that and mainly use the Garmin Connect website to create ...

I think it's much more likely that Wiggins won't be in contention at the Tour because of his focus on trying to win the Giro than him being ordered not to beat Froome in a TT. In 20 years of watching professional cycling, I can't remember anyone being ordered off of the back. He might be made to do ...

Froome can just leave wiggo in the mountains now to suffer pretty much, as Froome had to wait for wiggo on stage 17 when valvede won, its not like wiggo was waiting for porte and co in the mountains, so they just left em, and as froomes the leader, wiggo's just another domestique, so basically hes ...

I've got an Edge 500, Andy, and find it reasonably good for navigating by. You don't get a map, but you do get a line to follow and it's also possible to set warnings when turns are coming up (I've never created these myself, but found out about them when downloading the route for the Snowdrop Audax...

Most races seem to be available on YouTube pretty soon after - and they don't seem to get taken down either. That might be an alternative to watching it live. This account seems to have most recent races, some in English and some in Dutch.

You can watch British Eurosport and British Eurosport 2 live, so you can watch everything they broadcast. They often repeat the highlights in the evenings (when I guess there's not much live sport on to show) multiple times the week following the event, and sometimes early in the morning too. There'...

Eurosport often show highlights in the evenings. The listings are here , although they often change at the last minute. They've got highlights of the Ronde scheduled for Sunday at 8 pm (for two hours, so it might be a re-run of the whole live coverage). If you're willing to sign up for 12 months, it...

How about a "getting into racing" session?
At the AGM, the committee asked for suggestions for ideas for spending some of the club's financial surplus. I'm not sure whether there are any requirements in mind for this (such as it needing to be capital investment or potentially benefitting all club members), so this might not be what the commi...

I'm pretty sure that disc brakes are heavier! Not only the brakes themselves, but they require heavier forks and wheels with more spokes. The pros don't really have a choice at the moment as disc brakes aren't sanctioned by the UCI for the road. One of the articles I linked to above makes the point ...

There's a recent review on Google by a Halesowen member who says they were welcoming to a big group of cyclists, so perhaps it's worth a try. We could always just have one run going there, to test the water.
