A Tale of Two Sportives

  Like buses, I hadn’t taken part in a mass start Sportive ride for at least a year or so, then 2 came along that I really wanted to be a part of in the space of a fortnight. With very [...]

This mornings ride: Ever thankful to those that pa This mornings ride: Ever thankful to those that paid the ultimate price during conflict, and took me back to our recent trip to the Somme battlefields to show our daughter where the things she’s learned about in school really happened. Unfortunately, the biggest message that I always seem to be left with things like this is how futile the tragic loss of human lives is in the face of a few megalomaniacs disagreeing about something, it’s always the ordinary people who pay. And we seem to learn no lessons time and again. My heart goes out to all those affected by conflict around the world right now, may they see peace again soon. X

The humble banded side-step or “crab-walk”. A The humble banded side-step or “crab-walk”. A great way to activate the Glutes, Abductors, as well as engaging hip flexors, core and more. If you have knee, back or hip pain on the bike, and only have time to do one thing on your way out the door….so this. Thank me later 😁👍🏻 and in turn my thanks to @dynamiccyclist for helping me stay strong on the bike. #cycling #cyclistsofinstagram #strengthandconditioning #cyclingphotos #bikefit
What a day! It’s taken us all a day or so to rec What a day! It’s taken us all a day or so to recover. On Sunday, 8 riders set off into the hills in relative calm, bright weather. Despite battling a bit of a headwind all the way south, we all thought this would mean luxuriating in predominantly tail-winds for the rest of the epic 150miles. We were riding 1-Mile in solidarity with each of the 150 children that are diagnosed every month in the UK with Cancer. Their journey will unfortunately often be much longer and much more arduous than what we could put ourselves through in a day. After the first coffee stop, kindly donated and hosted by the guys @velo.edge we headed out on our second loop on the Cheshire flats, the winds picked up but we stayed dry. Legs were getting tired by now but as a group we were riding strongly together. Each 30-40km we had our super support vehicle stop at a pre-arranged spot with extra snacks, fluids and much needed Cokes, thanks Chris, we couldn’t have done it without you! After our last proper stop we had done 180km, with a final 60km circuit back to the @charitybikeshopmcr in Chorlton. What we didn’t anticipate was the rain that started just after the stop, so we spent the next couple of hours fighting biblical downpours and hellish swirling winds. Suddenly, what was a hard ride, was rapidly turning into an epic challenge. Everyone arrived back at the shop soaked and freezing cold, but we did it, and a huge thanks to everyone that donated to the fundraising efforts. There’s still time to donate, Link in bio! Huge thanks to all the riders and support, a huge day in the saddle but worth every hard fought pedal stroke! #cycling #cyclistsfightingcancer #cyclistsofinstagram #childhoodcancerawareness
“Childs Pose”, maybe because I’m a big kid a “Childs Pose”, maybe because I’m a big kid at heart, but it’s the best stretch position, coupled with mindfulness and body awareness and it’s a position that I can seemingly stretch and relax almost my entire being. Thanks to @dynamiccyclist for keeping me mobile and motivated off the bike. Don’t forget, DM if you want to try it and want to save some cash on a subscription 👍🏻 #cycling #strengthandconditioning #mobility #stretching #cyclistsofinstagram #cyclistsfightingcancer

Smooth tarmac, air that gets a little cooler with every 100m climbed, shared challenge with friends old and new brothers in arms.

Make use of all that fitness you’ve built over t Make use of all that fitness you’ve built over the summer! September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and @cyclistsfightingcancer we are campaigning to ride 1 Mike for every child in the UK diagnosed this (and every) month. That’s 5miles-a-day, or in this case 150miles in one day! Please join us for this epic, season closing day out into the Peaks and back to the flats in Cheshire. It’s an informal ride, but there’ll be plenty of support and opportunities for cakes and coffee along the way! No entry fee, but we’d love it if people could help us fundraise to enable us to buy more bikes and equipment for children with Cancer. Just join the event on Strava (Link in Bio, and I’ll post to my story soon) and I’ll keep you posted on all the details from there! Really hope to get a good group(s) together and make it an amazing day, see you there! Rich X

At @cyclistsfightingcancer we are standing together with the 150 children that will receive a cancer diagnosis this month (and every month) in the UK. It’s childhood cancer awareness month, so get involved if you can. It doesn’t matter how you do it, ride 150km over the course of the month or in one day , let us know and help us fundraise, it would mean a lot! X.

What our clients say
  • Having the pro bike fit from Richards is the best thing I’ve done for my cycling, all my issues with comfort, aches and pains vanished straight away.
    David Smith
  • Richard I swear to god I could have kissed you today! I have not been out since my bike fit. Previously I was having serious pain in my left shoulder within 10 miles. Today, despite not been on my bike for weeks I did 43 miles and didn’t feel my usual pain once!! Your a Genius!! Thanks so much. Sally
    Sally Porter
  • The best cost v’s benefit upgrade I have made to my cycling performance.
    Si DeplitchTeam Chronomaster Rider
  • Before seeing Richard I was on the point of giving up cycling, it was hard and also causing severe lower back pain. What a difference Richard has made! I can now tell the power is going through my legs, I feel strong and much faster (even up hills), my back is no longer hurting and I am enjoying riding again! Thanks so much
    Kathryn Berry
  • The fit by Richard was truly brilliant. While I am a positive amateur by comparison of some of the people Richard fits, I still felt incredibly welcome and got the feeling that I was really benefitting from what was being done. This was in no small part due to the constant explanation Richard gave of each step, the logic behind it and how it would benefit me.
    Matt Cooper
  • The service that Richard provided was exceptional – I really can’t recommend it highly enough. I came away from the session with a lot more understanding on a range of things; including on how my body is ‘set-up’ and what is required to be more efficient in the saddle, but also how to help my back pain, on and off the bike. The advice was really well delivered and Richard clearly has a very deep understanding (even more than my physio who I pay a fortune for!!). It’s fantastic – top marks
    Ben Williams
  • I’d just like to say a big thank from myself and Lauren for your help, after the way she came off in tears the week before the event I honestly thought she wouldn’t be able to take part. It goes with out saying I’ll recommend you to any one in the future. Many thanks Dave
    DavidFather of Junior National Champ
  • ust thought I’d let you know did over 100 miles at the weekend and not felt this good on a bike for years, if you would like to show this email to anyone please do so…… if anyone is thinking of having a bike fit, save your money messing about and just go to Richard, I wasted hundreds of pounds on bike fits over a number of years, but none were anywhere near as good as Richard. He took hours sorting me out both on and off the bike and I got the feeling time was not an issue with him if I were to run over my allotted time.
    Norman FinchExperienced endurance cyclist
  • Having read many positive reviews on internet formus I decided to book in for a Pro Fit. I went last night and from starting with asking questions about sports injury history etc, Richard went on to position my cleats perfectly, alter saddle height, stem length, handlebars, saddle and tilt. Instantly felt completely different on the turbo trainer and pedal strokes feel much smoother and more efficient. Not only that, Richard also took a look at pretty much every screw he could find on my bike and even altered my gearing slightly and tightened up my rear brake….much appreciated! Richard’s service is second to none and I would recommend to anyone.
    Josh TurnerMulti-Day Event Rider
  • I booked a pro fit session with Richard last week and did my first rides since this weekend. The change that Richard has made to my setup is unbelieveable, so much more power available with each pedal stroke and also the ability to travel up hills without so much need to stand up on the pedals. Richard really knows what he is on about and this is really the best money you can spend on you and your bike before considering other kit upgrades. Many thanks.
