Wrapping up the Tour of Portugal

Portugal Lomas Wefing MarathonMTB MTB

I feel like I’ve learnt a lot this past week in the Portugal MTB Tour, in particular about how my body reacts to consecutive days of racing. Racing in a two man team has shown me that I have the mentality to follow orders during a race rather than being impulsive. It’s also confirmed that I […]

Lomas Wefing: Firsts are not always podiums

Lomas Wefing 2016 MarathonMTB

It’s been a winter like no other. For the first time ever, I have been riding to power zones and heart-rate zones. For the first time ever, I’ve been training full-time and working part-time.

Introducing Lomas Wefing – the next British XCM Champion?

Lomas Wefing MarathonMTB

I was on a bike before I could walk. Barely able to sit upright, my dad had me strapped into the child seat on his Edison 753. Born in Sheffield, England in 1998, I spent Saturday mornings with my dad racing across the city doing the weekend’s food shopping. As soon as my sister could stand, […]
