Mexico City

Just got here in Mexico City and was surprised to find that a major road is closed every weekend in the centre to allow cyclists to charge up and down. There's a race on just now, quite odd to get up all jetlagged and find a peloton so near at hand. It makes me wish I'd brought my kit. I'll hire a mountainbike this afternoon and take advantage of the closed roads.

Articles on technique

I see a lot of articles about nutrition, lactic thresholds, VO2 max, intervals training and the like, and this is all helpful.

However, I see very little discussing actual pedalling technique.

New year and a new way of life...

2011 has been a similar challenge to 2010 so far...

The baby's arrival draws nearer, the house move is more protracted and time becomes every more precious.

Being a Father is something I cannot wait to do. Cycling is almost irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but I do want to strike a balance ensuring that some of the family time we have involves the bike.

Sportives, time trials and other stuff might be put to one side as a whole new way of life emerges with a whole new way of cycling.
