¶Finally after a month off and moving house I got out on my bike for a short ride. All of last year I think I felt like I was ‘training’ for something be that the next sportive I’d entered or just to be able to keep up with Tom and Carl . But now having [...]

¶For the Yorkshire readers (not me anymore)…SingleTraction are looking for people to get involved in digging at Stainburn. Off the Singletrack World forum. ““Hi peeps, its 2010 and the weathers been pretty crap. How about coming up to Stainburn and helping us finish the Descent Line Extension.

¶…and read this. Julian Emre Sayarer who now holds the record for cycling round the world speaks out, makes sense and attacks Mark Beaumont.
