Covid has led the racing season to draw to an early close, with Holland’s entry requirements making attendance at this year’s Worlds Championships impossible. However, it has been a great year’s racing. Here is a quick review of the racing highlights (look at the end of the blog section). Fingers crossed for covid free racingContinue reading “Review of the 2021 season”

It has been a busy season, so sorry for the lack of blog posts. As the racing has mostly taken the form of time trials (a non drafting race over a certain distance) I thought a blog post on techniques to help you through the “Race of Truth” would be apt! More posts to come….

First race of the season! Sadly, covid prevented the race footage but we have an interview by our special reporter, Zak Coxon. Hope you enjoy. Visible at the end of the blog section

(genuine question by a pedestrian and probably a result of hearingContinue reading “How fast is a trike?”

The Christmas decorations have been put back in the attic, the mince pies devoured, and accusations have been levelled against the other-half shrinking your trousers. Time to get back on the trike! This article, accessed via the blog section, looks at the joy (!) of indoor training. Hope you enjoy.

Take a look in the Blog section to see how I tamed the three wheel beast….OK, just mildly tickled it.
