Its the little things.

As we get more technical, more specialist, more niche the smaller differences make the biggest differences. The Tour de France is won on a difference in strength of a 1 year old child. Not alot in it, basically. So to find the most out of your position on the bike, your equipment, your nutrition, your [...]

Learn about wine

Not a particularly sports orientated post, but I love wine and these guys do a better job of explaining it to me than anyone else I have ever come across. Check out their tasting events calendar and make sure you attend in your city. We have sat and ruminated on what tastings to bring out in [...]

“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates I have had a mild obsession with Magnum White Almond for the last week.
