Being away last week meant I didn’t post a ‘This Week In Cycling’ post. That didn’t mean I didn’t read all the cycling news – and I managed to watch a good chunk of both the women’s and men’s Paris-Roubaix races live. This week then is a bumper edition, catching up on all the stories … Read more
A big change in May was to get the new map functionality online. I wanted to get that done before I went away on holiday, as it was when I was in Tenerife last year that I came up with the idea to add that to the site. Anyway, I managed to get it done … Read more
Last weekend was all about Mathieu van der Poel’s dominance at the Tour of Flanders. Grabbing most of the headlines this week in the pro peloton has been plenty of crashes, and the resulting injuries. Fingers crossed for speedy recoveries all round. We hit on April Fools, albeit with not so many hilarious memes and … Read more
I think it’s fair to say the biggest news in cycling this week was the awful crash for Wout van Aert, and the news that trickled out after is none too good about his condition. A real shame for us as fans. Beyond that it’s a lot of pro cycling news this week, racing, race … Read more
Back in early February, MyWhoosh went into public beta with their Apple TV release. That went live a couple of days ago now. As part of that release, MyWhoosh also tested their “MyWhoosh Link” app, but at that time you had to be using the Apple TV beta to also get access to the Link … Read more
It would be easy to sum up this week’s news in a single name: Mathieu van der Poel. He was everywhere. Well, maybe not everywhere, but if you were going to look for him, somewhere right at the front would be a great place to start. There was other news though. My favourite non MvdP … Read more
It’s been a crappy few weeks for me on the bike. I’ve been hit with Covid for, what, the fifth time now? Awful. I’ve learned my lessons though: don’t get back on the bike too early, or you end up off the bike for longer. I’ve been taking it very easy in terms of activity, … Read more
It certainly felt like the glut of retail bad news was back this week, perhaps largely due to the demise of Wiggle. Beyond that, Mr. Lefevere is once more in trouble for engaging his mouth without engaging his brain. And we got a glimpse of a new (to Cycling racing, anyway) and exciting way that … Read more
This morning I woke up to this email: So it looks like it’s finally game over. Strangely, the website is still online. And I’ve read over on Road.cc that a bunch of vultures savvy business types are circling to buy any remaining warehouse stock at low, low prices. Anyway, I have intentionally blanked on the … Read more
It has been about a month now since I last posted a site update, and there has been a whole lot of stuff happening behind the scenes during that time. Here’s the current Trello status: The ‘done’ column actually goes down quite a long way. A lot of the work has been on the Climb … Read more
