Cold and Icy – No Excuses Cambridgeshire Rides by MuddyGoose - February 27, 2018March 8, 20180 For anyone not in the know, that title might be seen as me advocating manning up and braving the weather etc. But no, that's all been said before, many times by many riders and until I get the chance to ride across the Mongolian plains I really won't truly understand tough conditions. 1341
Update on my Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season Tyres Cambridgeshire Rides East Anglia Maintenance Product Reviews by MuddyGoose - November 2, 2016November 2, 20162 It's always nice to receive comments on my blog posts. For one, it lets me know that people are actually out there reading what I write. But it also allows us to open up a bit of two way communication. So when a Jez wrote "I’m about to venture into the tubeless world and am undecided whether to go for these or the Schwalbe pro one tubeless ,id be interested to hear how the Hutch is wearing?", in response to my Hutchinson Fusion 5 tyre review, I just had to write a whole post in reply! But tyre wear might seem a little boring so I'll bundle my latest ride into this one too. 3
One Year On – Reliability Trial 2016 Cambridgeshire Rides East Anglia by MuddyGoose - February 26, 20161 Last year was a successful cycling year for me. Probably with my performance pinnacle being the Tour of Cambridgeshire. After the summer I seemed to gradually decline into winter. Is that normal?

Quite a year on the road – My 2015 Cambridgeshire Rides Dartmoor East Anglia General Peak District by MuddyGoose - December 31, 20150 As with all years I like to start off with some aims; some challenges. Something to achieve and something to also look forward to. Back in January I considered myself a bit of a beginner on the road; I hadn't yet ridden 100 km in a single ride. So to sit here now thinking back over 2015 is pretty pleasing. 500
The UCI/UWCT Tour of Cambridgeshire Cambridgeshire Rides East Anglia by MuddyGoose - June 11, 20154 Some rides are just rides, others are focused training rides, still others are events or sportives. Some rides are significant to you because of the weather, some due to the company you ride with and others due to your personal performance. This ride surpassed all others on all fronts; BY FAR. 317
First “Cafe Stop” ride of the year. Cambridgeshire Rides East Anglia by MuddyGoose - April 1, 20140 Beautiful sunshine, warm spring Saturday morning and like minded company to ride with; ideal ingredients for a "Cafe Stop" ride. In this case not only my first of the year but also my first, full stop. Being new to the road riding scene stopping off at cafes mid-ride hasn't been in my repertoire until now. 41
Red sky in the morning… Cambridgeshire Rides by MuddyGoose - January 24, 20140 This morning I decided to go for a ride local to home before starting work. A dawn ride, let's call it. It's quite nice when you reach the point where you can confidently reach forward and turn off your front light. 379
