Mid-April
2011
Update
Is it April already? I’ve
been really bad at keeping this front page going, but the year has flown.
Last week was typical. It started on Dartmoor with a preview of the
Dartmoor Classic sportive with Sigma Sport-Specialized pros Tom Copeland
and Wouter Sybrandy. 
Then it was up to the Lakes
to do a feature on Gary Sadler and his son Jack riding their favourite
training loop around Coniston. And next day I was on the national elite
road circuit, and part of the Northern Rock Cyclone sportive with Ross
Creber.
In between I managed a little bit
of cycling myself, with a little bit less running. It’s ok to
run when you can’t get on a bike, but only just. You have to keep
fit somehow.
I finished my book on how to train
for sportives. It’s called Cyclosportive and will be published
by A&C Black in September. I’m currently talking to publishers
about two, and possibly three others. So more news soon, hopefully.
