Hello friends across the Ocean. If anyone is using the Stava app to record their training, please let me know I would like to connect with you. You can find me on Strava: Sam Dhaliwal in Cambridge.
You may join Strava for free if you wish: https://www.strava.com/mobile
Eating and Energy are one of the big things you need to get solved whilst doing your training rides, if you leave it till ride day you will be in trouble! Here is a great article about what and why and how much you should be eating!
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any hints and tips from a 7 times rider!
See you all soon
Nick
Good Day All,
As a part time bike mechanic at Caps, I would be happy to put on some workshops for those riders who would like some tips on changing tires while on the road, adjusting brakes and derailleurs, fenders ($%**&^!), etc. What we would get into would not require specialized tools, only a small multi-tool, tire levers, small air pump or C02 cartridges, etc.
I think the best opportunity would be at Caps after a ride. I can set up a bike stand out behind the shop.
If anyone is interested you can email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
