Last riding day in Mallorca done.
You have been a dream again.

Puig Major and Soller ticked off, PB up Batalla by accident, over my cold (for now), fantastic weather, good company and some great news to finish it off 🙌.

Can't wait to see you again Mallorca. I need a lads trip here.

Today was a vibe. Coll De Söller and Coll De Puig Major completed. On the 3rd year of coming. To say Puig is not on my top of return list.

Can confirm the Southern side of Söller is peak level, so many switch backs. Still not a touch on Coll De Sa Batalla.

All in vibes ✌️
Final day tomorrow for Mallorca 2026

Away down in Brighton for work so what better on a rest day than a walk along the sea front.

And spot hunting some iconic Brighton Ain't Ready spots. Some days I miss BMX.... Then my knee pipes up taken in Brighton and Hove by @deanteifel

September....

You were another busy month. Lots of busy days and more bloody illnesses 🤦, it feels like my summer has been illness, followed by illness.

Attended a great wedding, looked a vibe. Did a fast parkrun, Rode home from Kenilworth on a Saturday. Then raced a hill climb Sunday and got ill. Supported Emma on Swindon half. Walked the puggies, annoyed Sonic. Saw some awesome shitboxes. And bought a camera rig for a project.

September out ✌️. taken in Swindon by @deanteifel

Sunday I did the Newbury Velo Walbury Hill Climb.

The first time I did this back in 2018 - I set a time of 5:54 and was 22/28 riders and I was 80kg

I've not ridden a hill climb since 2019 where I was 74kg. A lot has happened since then.

On Saturday, I decided a fast park run was needed and then a ride back from Kenilworth .... Why.... For the Lolz apparently and to pre destroy my legs

So I did a time of 6:40 - 5 minutes power of 343W (-2 on my best ever 5 minute power). Then later on I got really ill and feel like death since.

47/72 - Overall
13/27 - age adjusted (I only gained 1 second)
4/4 - V40

155 AVG HR
162 Max HR (fatigue + illness then)
331 AVG Power
598 Max power

That's it. I'm calling my first TT season. With only a couple of races left and none I can really bother to do I'm saying I'm done for the year. For someone that doesn't really train, train for things as I find it quite demoralising, I've put in an absolute shift.

I set myself a target of achieving a 24:30 ideally at Latton U48.
With Latton road surface being worse than ever. I started with a few early season at Newbury and ended spending alot of time between the 2 locations. Raced my first 25 thanks to Hadyn pushing me into it. Setting a respectable 1:04:49, doing so with a touch of heat stroke and an issue with my glute. Which ended up meaning Emma had to dress me in a carpark in Theale.

I completed the Latton Spring Handicap series placing joint first* (I am the only 1 who has done more rounds overall and PB'd each one so I'm calling it a win)

A few road bike wins in the Newbury races - 1 X 10mile / 1 X 25mile / 1 X 15mile / 2 x 3rd place & 7 PB's

Newbury Road club - H10/3a - 26:51 3rd RB

Newbury Road Club - H10/3r - 26:15 3rd RB

Latton U48 Handicap series - 30:40

Latton U48 Handicap series - 30:08

Newbury velo H15/3 - 37:09 - PB & RB win

Newbury road Club Open H25/1 - 1:04:49 - PB

Latton U48 Handicap series - 29:22

Latton U48 Handicap series - 25:22 equal PB (2025)

Newbury Velo TT - H10/3R - 23:59 PB & RB Win

Newbury Road Club H25/3E - 1:03:03 PB & RB Win

Latton U48 - 24:55 Latton PB

Latton U48 - 24:40 Latton PB

All in a great effort and season. taken in Swindon by @deanteifel

Absolute banger of a working weekend at Malverns Classics. That's what events are all about, great brands, great company and great banter..... Also way too much food. Also Ledbury pub lockin was a vibe. Plenty of dogs including 2 pugs working for Canyon and a Devon Rex cat Hannah and I befriended.

Braunton Burrows D - Day landing LCM training facility.

Little golden hour walk round the burrows, didn't manage to find the famous Matilda tank though. Plenty of cows out chilling though.

A four-day birthday getaway for Emma in Snowdonia. Equal parts bike riding, sightseeing, and snack stops. Ticked off 2 bucket-list spots at St Cwyfan’s Church and Llanddwyn Lighthouse, topped off with a ride up Pen y Pass for some classic views of Snowdon. Would I recommend it as a spot to go riding, road surface perfect, however drivers were absolute peak level bellends. If anyone finds my legs, please post them back to me getting spat by Emma up climbs wasn't fun 😭 taken in Swindon by @deanteifel
