In follow up to recent blog about my experience at the first virtual Revolve24 24hr challenge, I thought I'd share five things I've been asked and have talked about this week.

'A ride without a café stop is like a bike without wheels', a statement from Geraint Thomas which I couldn't agree with more. One of the many things I found interesting in his book, The World of Cycling According to G, was how he talked about quitting caffeine 2-3 weeks before a big race. As someone looking for all the marginal gains he can get it got me thinking about why he might do this and how it could help me?

Born in the heart of the Chilterns, with an Italian heritage, Grupetto Mergozzi CL known as GP, was a work horse, forged in the fire of endurance cycling. It is with a deep sadness that, today, we say goodbye.

A good pal, Guy Stapleford who is a nut for quirky endurance challenges, took on an Everesting challenge in the Chilterns and has shared the lowdown of his gruelling day of non-stop hill climbing...

Guy takes one of the hardest cycling climbing challanges and makes it harder. 4 Eversting attempts over 4 weeks in order to raise money for the Pace Centre and Action4Youth.

In August Guy will be taking on a version of the London - Land's End - London Audax as a DIY, self-supported solo ride. Find out how he plans to take on the 1000km ride in his latest blog.

Depending on how you see it - 2020 is either only halfway or it's already halfway through. Every year has it'd defining moments, so here's my brief look back at the highs and lows of the first 6 months of 2020.
