"Got caught out when the main break went, as I was dawdling near the back. Knew it was the break to be in and tried to jump round the entire pack and then bridge, but trying to catch the 10 fastest guys in the race on my own was always going to be a…"

Jonathan Harris replied to michael farla club captain's discussion AVANTI RIDES SUNDAY 12 MAY"Surrey League 2/3 at Runfold for me. Rapid as you like and a cracking course with a decent climb on every lap and swoopy descents.

Ironbike
I'll keep this relatively brief, as I've submitted an article to a cycling website, which will hopefully be published in the next week or so.
Ironbike is the hardest thing I have ever done by an enormous margin. Trying to put in to words how hard it was is a challenge in itself, because even the raw stats don't do it justice...
Take the toughest day you've ever had on the bike. Add a bit more. Then get up and do it all again over the following six days. That…

UK Cross Country Marathon Championships
Sunday I raced the UK Cross Country Marathon (XCM) Championships up in Selkirk in the Scottish borders.
The list of starters had come out a few days before and was a bit of an eye-opener. It was like a ‘who’s who’ of UK mountain biking with a list of elite XC and XCM racers (up to UCI World Cup level), 12 and 24 hour national champions, the last three winners of the Kielder 100 and a certain Dan Fleeman (ex-Cervélo Test Team).
The race was held in parallel…

Kielder 100
The Kielder 100 is the UK's only 100 mile mountain bike race, run out of Kielder in Northumberland, just on the border with Scotland. It's only been running for 3 years, and it now appears to be attracting a host of top riders from the UK from World Cup XC riders to top endurance / 24 hour specialists. This was my first attempt and it was to prove a rather brutal introduction...
The weather websites had been predicting heavy rain all week and as I got up at 4:30am to the sound…

Trans-Wales
The Trans-Wales is a 7 day mountain bike stage race. Due to bye-laws restricting the racing on bridleways and byways, it's not possible to race in a traditional end-to-end Trans format. Instead, you have a set route to complete and if you finish outside the allotted time, you're given a time penalty (although in reality, the time restrictions aren't particularly challenging). These stages are a combination of linking sections and also taking in some of the finest trails Wales has to offer and… Continue
