Hey, ! 🚴‍♂️ I tried my hand at CX racing again after a few years, and let's just say it's not exactly my cup of tea! 😅 But hey, I get why some folks love it. The atmosphere was great, the organizers were friendly, and there were awesome options for the young riders! Check out my experience (and maybe a laugh) in the video linked below. Who knows, maybe you'll love it more than I did! 🎥👀

Okay, I fully admit it—I’m all in on the post-ride protein intake for muscle recovery (and to get even more hench! 💪🤣). My goal? At least 20g of protein within 20-30 minutes after finishing a ride.
My go-to? A simple protein shake, usually mixed with water or sometimes soya milk. I’m not loyal to any specific brand—I tend to grab whatever’s on discount. 😅
But let’s be real... I’ve definitely made the mistake of trying out some weird flavors that were, quite frankly, disgusting. 😖 Will I ever learn?

Last year, I was dealing with a nagging issue—knee pain! 😖 It wasn’t severe, but it consistently troubled me both on rides and during turbo sessions.
I checked in with Cycling Coach Simon from Velo Performance to discuss how to manage the pain while still training hard. With less than two months to go before the Mallorca 312 (medium route!), we also reviewed my progress and planned the upcoming training block—knee pain and all!
Catch our conversation and get tips on managing knee pain while keeping your training on track.

Last year, I was craving some sunshine and time on the bike, so I took a trip to Gran Canaria—and it did not disappoint! 🌞 This ride was hands down my favorite of the week: up through Fataga, a thrilling descent near San Bartolome, and a much-needed coffee and cake stop
This 73km route had it all—stunning views and challenging climbs, including the drag up through Fataga.
Pro tip: Stop at El Labrador for a caffeine boost before enjoying the descent into Santa Lucia, where you’ll find a small bakery serving up delicious homemade cake and coffee.
Then, finish with a final descent back to the coast and (hopefully!) a wind-assisted ride to Maspalomas.
