    Cyclists Nutrition

    From the cycling I take it ! strange that you spend years with no interest and now with every bike that passes you turn your head to see what it is....and you spend a fortune on the best lights, cameras etc that you can afford.

    There were other rides as well which I have felt unwell on warm days just with water. For me the sis tablets are definitely beneficial. I really wouldn't waste my money if they weren't.

    Dogs again

    On Wednesday night I was on my road bike approaching a roundabout. Left lane to turn left, right for straight on.

    Britons first TDF stage winner

    The fact that he said it on a program that would be watched by lots of cycling fans may stop some of the shouts of 'cheat' and maybe a little more respect that at least somebody is trying to cycle may follow. I can now ride up hills on a road bike that I only thought would be possible for me on...

    Britons first TDF stage winner Brian Robinson said on ITV4 interview he can't go up the hills like he used to and now has an electric bike which he thinks is great. Now if that isn't an endorsement then nothing is.
