Climbing technique: seated vs standing, and how to pace long climbs
Standing costs more oxygen at the same power — and is still the right choice sometimes. Gearing and cadence on a long climb, when to get out of the saddle, and how to pace twenty minutes uphill without blowing.
Winter route design: ice, shade and the roads that thaw first
In January the north-facing lane stays frozen until lunchtime and the valley bottom is colder than the hill above it. Designing routes around aspect, cold-air drainage, gritting priority and the hours of daylight you actually have.
Planning a mountain day: passes, weather windows and the descent home
The col may still be under snow in June, the storms build over the summit by early afternoon, and the 24 °C valley is 10 °C at the top before wind chill. A big mountain day is a planning problem before it is a fitness problem.
Designing a route for a group that rides at different speeds
The fast riders are cold from waiting and the slower ones are cooked from chasing. Route shapes that let a group split and rejoin without anyone feeling it, where to put the climbs, and sizing the ride to the right person.
Cycling in Mallorca: the routes, the season and what nobody tells you
Sa Calobra, the Ma-10 along the Tramuntana, and a flat middle that makes a recovery day easy. Why February to April is the season and July is not, where to base yourself, and the crowding nobody mentions in the photographs.
Cycling in Slovenia: the Alps, the Karst and the roads in between
Twenty-four hairpins to the top of Vršič, the Soča running turquoise below, and a Karst plateau where the wind has its own name. A small country with an improbable density of good roads, and how to time a trip around the passes opening.
