6/5/12 It was quite a scenic drive down from Heubach in Germany to our accommodation in Egerkingen, Switzerland. For a lot of the journey we drove along the foothills of the Alps, stopping off for a quick coffee in a town called St Gallen. I reckon the coffee must just get better the further […]
30/4/12 Held each year, in the south of Germany, the ‘Heubacher Bike the Rock’ mountain bike festival attracts some of the best riders from around Europe and the World. This year the race had a UCI rating of ‘HC’ meaning there were substantial UCI points on offer and therefore an event well worth racing. […]
24/4/12 In the few days following the World Cup race in Belgium, I managed to contract a nasty virus. So the 2 days intended recovery turned into 5 or 6. Sometimes a bit of forced recovery is not always such a bad thing though and I think I the short break was needed both […]

I did have a little meal-envy looking at those yummy chocolates and cakes the others were being served, but I […]
12/4/12 Back in January this year I fitted Xterra young-gun, Ben Allen, with a pair of Solestar Insoles. Since then he has stepped it up on the world stage and won the last 3 rounds of the Xterra World Championship Tour. Apparently his mountain bike leg has lifted a notch since last season and his […]
