I’ve always been a bit of a cyclocross fan (despite there being a spot fine for even mentioning it aloud in the office). I’ve race the Three Peaks three times in the last 15 years and I’ve done local ‘cross races on and off throughout that time. I’ve always been a bit of a purist [...]

Like many people who envelope themselves in the world of two wheeled fanaticism, I set myself an all-together too familiar new year’s resolution: ‘Ride my bike more’ January brings with it a sense of optimism. The promise of twelve months where the two-wheeled possibilities are endless – so many routes to ride, places to see [...]

There’s one thing that the last couple of years of odd weather has meant to me – not the thought that we’ve broken the planet’s weather; that’s not in doubt – but it’s the far more trivial poser of ‘what to wear?’ It used to be that summers were mostly short sleeve Lycra jerseys and [...]

Hi all, Well I’m counting down the days. It’s my final week of being a lady of leisure. Looking forward to being back in the office and seeing everyone again. The ten months have flown since I handed over the Subscription reigns to the wonderful Jamie Ware and what a super job he’s doing. Sounds [...]

I reckon 98.5%* of my riding is done on trails in a 20km radius of where I ride, because we’re lucky that locally there’s enough variation and quality of riding that justifying travelling out of the valley seems pointless. That same variation and quality also means I get to spend a fair amount of [...]

Round two of the 661 UK Gravity Enduro in Kielder came about really quickly for me, I got a new bike (Transition Covert) from the guys at UK importers Surf-Sales only a few days before the race plus we’re also straight off to Vancouver for a month of riding right after the race too, (yeah, [...]

We’ve got Ally from Campbell Coaching to give us her thoughts and impressions as she races her first full season of the 661 Gravity Enduro. She’s no stranger to enduro racing tough, having taken part in the Mega Avalanche in years past: Enduro style racing has it’s home in the Alps with some classic and [...]

WHERE DO I START……my golly gosh I’m well over due in the blogging department. Since returning from guiding and coaching in Portugal it has been full steam ahead in the AQR guiding, coaching and riding department in more ways than one…plus there is a new addition to the Potter family who is certainly keeping me [...]
