Every cyclist thinks they know best – it’s what happens in a sport of individuals. Sometimes someone else says something that makes sense and is worth acting upon – hopefully some of my posts contain useful nuggets within them that someone may find useful.

I used Zwift heavily last Winter and I really noticed the difference this season where I’ve set numerous new personal records and made my first steps into the world of time trialling.
