NOT ALL BIKES ARE EQUAL

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The countdown is on! With just one month to the Old Mutual Double Century, we’re back in the studio at S-Squared Coaching, testing, assessing, and establishing exactly where each rider stands.

The goal is simple: identify strengths, address weaknesses, track progress, and ensure every athlete is on the right trajectory going forward.

Training without structure is just riding. Training with purpose is preparation. 💪

Every session has a reason. Every test provides insight. Every adjustment brings us closer to the goal.

Trust the process. Stick to the structure. Race with confidence.

First gravel race 💨 55km of adrenaline and not really having a clue what I was doing 🤩 but I LOVE anything adrenaline fuelled!

What I lack in skill, I make up for in confidence (for better or worse)🥴 just hope there wasn’t anyone filming some of my corners 🥴

Excellent ride from queen @amber.keegan taking 2nd in our age group 🥈👏🏼🩶

Even though the temperatures are dropping, it’s important to stay hydrated even if you’re not thirsty.

Keep you hydration to hand with the ADVNTR Hydration pack, with a 2l bladder included and space for all your snacks it’s a perfect partner for winter riding.

The coldest moment on a winter ride is usually at the top of a climb.

Spend the whole climb sweating into a jacket with nowhere for the moisture to go. Wind chill does the rest.

The answer is layers, not bulk. Base layer, merino jersey, gilet, jacket. Pieces you can move between as the route changes rather than one heavy layer you’re committed to from the car park. The gilet earns its place more than almost anything else: on for descents, packed away on climbs, takes up no space.

Proof that networking doesn’t need a meeting room. 🚴‍♂️🏎️

40+ riders, great roads, perfect weather and a genuinely good group of people.

A week on from the Holmes Cycling × Bell Sport & Classic ride, this one still feels like a proper highlight — a few hours on the bike, plenty of conversation and some very special cars waiting back at base.

Thanks again to everyone who came along and made it such a good day.

Holmes Cycling · Bell Sport & Classic · OGT · Velo Clean · GRVL · 1816 Cycles · J. Laverack Cycles · Mouv

We should probably do that again.

September is always a busy month but it’s always spent doing things I love.

Another London to Paris ticked off, mostly off road with @leadout.events, @grvl.apparel, @1816cycles and @aeightbikeco keeping the wheels turning.

450km, 4 days and plenty of premium French pastry to fuel the adventure.

Entries for 2027 are already open so head over to @leadout.events and join the fun.

40+ riders. Great roads. Fast bikes. Special cars. 🚴‍♂️🏎️

What a day. Cycling networking by @holmes_cycling. Matt and his team delivered the perfect event 👌. Make sure you check them out and get in touch to host their next event.

Sunshine, a brilliant ride through the Chilterns, plenty of pace and even more conversation as Holmes Cycling and Bell Sport & Classic brought together a fantastic group for a day of cycling, cars and networking.

Huge thanks to everyone who rode with us — and to the partners who made it happen:

Holmes Cycling | Bell Sport & Classic | OGT | Velo Clean | GRVL | 1816 Cycles | J. Laverack Cycles | Mouv

WE’RE GOING NIGHT RIDING!

After a glorious summer of riding, the days are getting shorter and the opportunity for a post work ride is slipping away. Not for long though.

Join us on the 15th October at @churchfarmcafe for 30km of trails through dusk and into the dark.

There’s something even better than a free coffee before the ride too, we’re giving away a pair of GRVL socks to every rider.

6PM meet for a 6:30PM roll, lights required.

Ticket link is in our bio, see you there!
