I’ve been a bit naughty lately – and been blogging on evanscycles.com/blog.I could replicate it all here – but that would be a lame attempt to cover up the dirty crime. So instead: For trips in Majorca – read here For Training With Power (a beginners journey) – try here For Training With Power (understandingContinue reading “I’ve been cheating on the blog…”

I used to do a lot of my riding alone – come rain or shine. Now I’ve been at it a couple of years, I’m can see that sometimes you need a good group to thaw your heart out in case it starts to turn cold against the sport. This summer I didn’t do a lot of group ridingContinue reading “Long live the Peloton”

I’ve heard it said that owning a boat is a bit like taking personal ownership over a large hole in the ocean through which money disappears. I’m sure that is probably true, but I’d like to put forward the case that owning a bike and riding it properly isn’t too dissimilar. I’m sure parts forContinue reading “Bikes are like boats.”

Many times in the past I’ve begun ‘it’s been a long time since I last blogged’ – but never has it been this long. Needless to say, the injury I mentioned in the previous post didn’t really heal as quickly as hoped, and I spent quite a few months on the sidelines feeling sorry for myselfContinue reading “On racing and being female.”

Currently I am unable to walk too well. Long story short – TT Sat: all fine. Long run Sun: Turned into a race with a random vet who sped up as soon as I passed him, and my long “recovery” run became a 20min race to the petrol station. It was a good 20mins – IContinue reading “On Others..”

Yesterday was the Bentley/Farnham TT (H25/8). I went somewhat better than expected. In short : 01.03.22 – 6mins20secs faster than last Summer on the H25/8. The course is not totally flat, it has some drags and a few descents, but it basically consists of riding between two roundabouts, you can’t go wrong, and the roadContinue reading “PB-a-Holic”

Time has past, much has happened. I’ll update as quickly and non-fluffily as possible.Firstly, I went to Majorca, which was amazing. I estimate between 400-450 miles in the six days of riding (two days cut short due to rain and wind that, along the coast, actually made me feel scared enough to find the largestContinue reading “On Track”

Today I leave for Majorca! Exciting. To compliment the last post, and ensure I don’t fall behind on blogging, here is a word doodle I wrote some years ago that seems to fit the theme and sum up my holiday vibe, and my thoughts last time I wrote. Good to know my idealism hasn’t dwindledContinue reading “With compliments”

Last week has been a little hectic. On Saturday I did a sportive – shocking average speed – but wet, foggy and hilly so I suppose acceptable. Thankfully the speed on my Garmin is not AS shocking as what is recorded online. I’ve never taken part in a sportive before – but I find theContinue reading “Bicycle V Car”

Writing up my brand new plan I got quite excited with club sessions and including races and competitive events. I took myself off to the Redhill Sporting TT on Sunday, not my sort of TT – far too many hills, but good none the less good training and a chance to test out the RooContinue reading “Too eager to recover..”
