March Motivation

How’s your mojo to ride this Spring? 

Sometimes we get a little downhearted when the weather seems to be constantly raining as it dampens enthusiasm to ride. Looking back at photos from 2023 renews our vigour and reminds us to book up races, sportives and trips, or just go and ride somewhere different.  Here’s our staff plans this year and a little more about us.  We’d love to hear what you’re doing, Post on our Facebook…

From the French Alps with the lads, to the famous cobbles of the Paris-Roubaix Sportive and Flandrian Climbs, plus the enduring suffering of a Half Ironman, our staff have plenty of experience riding different equipment. Need some help in making the best choices?  Please come and talk to us.
