Stages 3 and 4 wrapped up at BC Bike Race 2019

Yesterday we summarised the action so far, via the press releases from BC Bike Race. But stage races don’t stop – here’s a look at Stages 3 and 4. In Solo Men it was looking more and more like a game of inches between frontrunners Geoff Kabush (Team Yeti-Maxxis) and Felix Burke (Rocky Mountain). A […]

Catching up on BC Bike Race 2019

Ok, we missed the start of the 2019 edition of the BC Bike Race. Why? Well there was bike racing happening at home, and it was cyclocross and there was some bike prep to do, kit to prepare, and extra training to finish off. But, that doesn’t mean riders weren’t ripping in BC. So here’s […]

New trails for FNB Wine2Whales

Wine2Whales

Eleven years on from the inaugural FNB Wines2Whales many things in mountain biking have changed. One remains constant however, the sport’s iconic stage race’s commitment to continual route refinements. Every year has seen new singletrack added and old trails reworked and perfected. 2019 is no different. Winter in the Western Cape is trail building time. […]

Schurter and Forster claw back time at the Cape Epic

Crashes in both the leading teams at the Absa Cape Epic could not unseat either from the top of the overall standings, but the top men did have their lead more than halved during Thursday’s 43km Time Trial stage at Oak Valley. Minor crashes for Annika Langvad from Investec-songo-Specialized, the leading Women’s category team, and […]

Imogen Smith’s Otway Odyssey recap

Otway Odyssey MarathonMTB

I’ve never done the Otway Odyssey – weird, because it’s one of Australia’s best-known races. There’s just always been some clash that’s kept me away in the past, so this year was my first go. A few aspects of the race sounded pretty interesting to me: It’s known for its longclimbs, crazy good singletrack, and […]

Livigno Training Camp: Day Five

MarathonMTB Livigno Diary Training

Sitting here on an early Saturday evening, I just realised this is the longest I have spent in Livigno at one time. While in 2013 I came and visited for about 4 nights, headed off to race Dolomiti Superbike, then came back again for another four or five nights, this would be the longest consecutive […]

Livigno Training Camp: Day Three

MarathonMTB Livigno Diary Training

It’s out third full day up in Livigno, and after Imogen and I went our different ways yesterday, we regrouped for one of the other highly popular activities in Livigno – shopping! It wasn’t a mega spending spree, but we did both buy some headbands, so we could feel the part in the high mountains. […]

Livigno Training Camp: Day One

MarathonMTB Livigno Diary Training

Livigno is many things. It is a duty free shopping hub, an alpine town that is popular for snow sports, a farming village that has had rapid change – and an ever-growing base for altitude training. From runners, cross-country skiers, road cyclists, mountain bikers and more, Livigno offers about 1800m base elevation, with quiet trails, […]
