... going far. A podcast intended to cover "all things bike". Pretty much everything is up for discussion. The idea is to share some of my passion and experience, as a person who rides bikes a lot, and has gone from a very overweight and unhealthy couch potato, to someone who rides ultra endurance distances and races their bike at every opportunity.

I hardly need an excuse to tap out a quick century bike ride. When an excuse does rear its ugly head I'm all over it. Following and incident that required me to travel from London to Poole to collect something, I jumped at the chance to go by bike. It's a lovely route that has been tweaked over many years to go through some stunning English country…

When summer fades and the weather closes in, the natural tendency for our creature known as The Cyclist, is to drag out the indoor trainer, switch on the fan and sweat it out in their warm dry shed, garage, hall or even front room. This static indoor 'training' usually involves staring at a computer screen running an app called Zwift. In this episo…
