Now , that was one sweet ride to work. Running late and lots to do I was going to just head straight to work. The shortest way. Then as I picked out the commuter from the shed, the cross bike, still covered in mud from a month ago, called out from behind the [...]
It went from here…
…to here…
(at this point it starts to get exciting…)
…then here… to my shed where the battle with the bubble wrap commenced! There was LOADS! A very well packaged bike :)
And then it was born… the Kinesis…
…Cross Light…
…Five T…
…with lovely PURE XC [...]
Yes, these legs of mine managed to do this…
(…end a cross race VERY quickly. Good job guys.)
That was pretty much my race. After last weeks horrendous race performance I was finally feeling fully recovered and ready to race and redeem myself in the world of cyclocross. After a pre lap with the [...]
I wouldn't usually write about what I get up to during the week BUT! This week loads has happened!
Fist of all (this just made me laugh so I thought I would share) I was clearing out my room and found this from when I was in primary school, I was writing about a teddy bears [...]
It's been a while since I've updated my riding blog. As is often the case, too much work, not enough time. It's been fun though, with the new Morvélo range being delivery and sent out to stores and also working on a quick promo video that has got people talking. Still I was directing that [...]
Oh cyclocross… your dirtier than mountain biking! And more crazy! This race was mud mud mud check this picture out: in the words of Morven Brown I'm "Hurdling like a gazelle" here.
The day of the race I wasn't sure what to expect.. after just recovering from my 18th, traveling up and down the country and racing on [...]
First cross race of the new season last Sunday and one I'd been looking forward to for a while. I'd been riding the cross bike on the long off road commute all summer and enjoying the fast rolling "summer only" Kenda Small Block Eights. I'd say I was 100% certain these would have to come [...]
Bloody hell that was tough, I can see why the Three Peaks Cyclocross Race has such a reputation for being one of the toughest cyclocross races out there.
The race starts in Helwith Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales and its seems customary and fitting to rock up on Saturday, pitch your tent or park your camper [...]

It seemed very strange fitting the crossbike with summer tyres and heading out in the glorious sun. Normally it's mud tyres all the way and it only gets dragged out the shed when it's hammering with rain. I felt like I'd done too much road recently and not enough trails, especially in light of all [...]
