    I was in my LBS (Simon's Cycles in Cowbridge) this afternoon after work, to get a new chain and bell for my bike. It is not the sort of shop you can go into browse, but the owner is always helpful and will often say "you can probably get it...

    I used to notice my RHR go up by 10+ bpm whenever I was getting ill!

    I haven't checked mine for a long time. It is definitely a lot higher than it used to be, but it was super low then; probably TOO low (low 30s). I will try to remember to check it one morning before I get up. I think it is probably 55-60 bpm now...

    Yeah, I'm not planning on calculating specific gaps between groups as that way madness lies, as proved by previous incarnations of events we've tried to run, where people have fallen out over gaps being too big or too small. I'll just set an...

    Up before the lark this morning.. 02:50 actually, as that's what my Work alarm is set for. I'd planned a visit to the B29 crash site just north of the Snake Pass, via the Pennine Way, for a while. Last attempt failed by a combination of knackered...

    A favourite Speyside walk today, a circuit of Loch an Eilein from Inverdruie. Many dozens of frogs and toads on the paths, a great difficulty not to step on any of them but I think we managed. A pair of red throated divers on Loch Gamnha, only...

    Can't believe how emotional I am about this. First saw Laura Trott (as she was then) at London 2012 with my wife (she won the tickets in the draw), sometime near the start of that period when I started following cycling more seriously, on top of...

    Yes, at that sort of level, you really have to have the very strong desire, as well as the ability. When it comes down to frac tions aof a second, not really wanting to be there any more will lose it. I hope so to.

    I don't think you even need to get time gaps "right" to be honest. One of my favourite previous races we've done on here, we basically ranked everyone in order of ability and set them off at 30 second intervals regardless of whether the gap...
