Why Heat Training Isn’t Just Suffering in Lycra Let’s talk about heat training—that thing we all pretend to enjoy when it’s 39°C, there’s sweat in places we didn’t know could sweat, and your sunglasses are doing the backstroke off your nose. I used to think riding in the heat was just something you survived. Like…

So… What’s Been Occurring?
First off, a massive sorry for being a bit MIA on the socials lately. Life’s been full gas during the summer break and, honestly, the phone’s been the last thing on my mind (apart from checking the weather app for when the sun might ease up… it didn’t). So, where to start? Well, I packed…
🚴♀️ Trebujena Throwdown 🏆🔥
🚴♀️ Lone Wolf, Borrowed Bidon & a Comeback for the Win 🏆🔥 Ahhh Trebujena. Quiet little place, best known for its wine, wetlands, and — as of this past weekend — hosting the latest round of the Copa de Andalucía Fem 💥. What better way to spend a Sunday than baking in the heat, riding…
Riding the La Legion 101km
101km of Dust, Grit, and Madness in Ronda ¡Hola from the pain cave! Last weekend, I threw myself headfirst into one of the wildest events in Spain: La Legión 101 de Ronda. Just me, my mountain bike, and about 3,200 other mad souls who all thought, “Sure, let’s ride 101 km with 2,700 metres of…
“Fast Legs, Flying Start: Cártama ChronoEscalada Shenanigans”
There’s nothing quite like a hill climb to remind you that gravity’s a bit of a jerk. Yesterday was the 12ª Cronoescalada Pinturas Sergio de Cártama, which, in the local dialect, roughly translates to “let’s go uphill until someone cries.” That someone was nearly me. But not because I was slow—I was flying. Or at…
“Your Tyre Pressures Are WHAT?!” – A Tubeless Tale from the Road.
I was out doing sprint efforts the other day—nothing too dramatic, just trying to convince my legs to behave—when this older gent rolls up alongside me. Friendly enough, but after a few glances at my bike he says, “Your tyres look a bit soft, love.” Oh? Do they now? He asks what pressures I’m running,…
Vuelta Almería: Wind, Mountains, and a Very Empty Fridge
If you ever want to test your mental strength, I highly recommend racing 90km straight into a vendaval (gale-force wind) that makes you question all your life choices. Day one of the Vuelta Almería was, in one word: brutal. The kind of headwind that makes you feel like you’re cycling through miel de caña (molasses)…
Victory at Trofeo Antonio Gómez del Moral – XII Subida al Santuario Virgen de la Sierra 2025
This past weekend marked the start of the Copa de Andalucía Femenina 2025, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the season! The Trofeo Antonio Gómez del Moral – XII Subida al Santuario Virgen de la Sierra was my first race of the year, and it turned out to be…
