Week 12 – Time to re-evaluate priorities

Croydon Cycleworks July 22, 2020 Leave a comment

Its a been a few weeks since the announcement of Amy’s Gran Fondo moving to November from September. This has been the same weekend of Gravel Nats, but as yet there has been no announcement of Gravel Nats. Its disappointing, but like all things in life, sometimes you cop lemons. Time to come up with […]

Week 8 – Starting to feel the pinch

Croydon Cycleworks June 22, 2020 Leave a comment

This second week of this new block of training was certainly very challenging. The wattage ask has gone up and the legs are protesting already. Monday was a public holiday but I resisted the urge to get out and ride. Tuesday’s session is an important one to come into as fresh as possible. So I […]

Week 6 – A Welcome Recovery Last Week

Croydon Cycleworks June 5, 2020 Leave a comment

Recovery week is often a misunderstood concept. Some think of a recovery week as laying on the couch doing nothing all week. Completely turn off. Some do not really lower their volume or intensity and may just drop a ride for the week. Read burnout on the horizon. There are many aspects to consider when […]

Week 5 – A differentiator week

Croydon Cycleworks May 27, 2020 1 Comment

This week is the last of this first block and definitely the toughest. There are a couple of really solid sessions before we roll into an easier week or recovery, adaptation and reloading for another FTP test. Again Monday was about rest and recovery. Two solid rides in the last two days and the recovery […]

Week 4 – Feeling the cold

Croydon Cycleworks May 20, 2020 Leave a comment

After a big weekend at the end of last week, I really needed Monday off. Some days after a rest day you wake up and try and convince yourself you are rested, recovered and ready to tackle it all again. Well Tuesday was exactly what I just described. I got up and said to myself, […]

Week 3 – Getting tired now

Croydon Cycleworks May 13, 2020 Leave a comment

Well that was a tough week. This week was probably my biggest load week in almost six months. However it wasn’t just the volume, but the intensity that went with the load. Four of the six sessions for the week were .85 Intensity Factor (1 is a full session at threshold) and if you know […]

Week 2 – Gaining momentum

Croydon Cycleworks May 5, 2020 1 Comment

A Summer for new roads – Our Gravel Story

Croydon Cycleworks November 16, 2019 1 Comment

Are you sick of riding the same roads, week after week? The same roads that are becoming a bit more frequented by traffic. The mundane doesn’t need to remain as the mundane. It’s time to find YOUR new roads. We really love riding the roads less travelled. We love finding new routes, whether it be […]

Is it time for a bike fit for you?

Croydon Cycleworks November 13, 2019 Leave a comment

Why do you need a Bike Fit? We all love riding our bikes right? Doesn’t matter what it is really – Road, MTB, Gravel, Hybrid, TT, Commuter, …… I could go on really. However we don’t love it when the bike doesn’t feel right or we are getting sore during a ride or even worse […]

Indoor Training – its a thing!

Croydon Cycleworks May 20, 2019 Leave a comment

by David Richards (Croydon Cycleworks & GradientBlue Cycling coach) Some days the weather outside is just not conducive to pleasant riding. Or perhaps you have a coach and they have outlined some specific power or heart rate based intervals. Perhaps you want to try a climb on the other side of the world or maybe […]

Don’t Forget Your Own Backyard – Part 2

Croydon Cycleworks May 16, 2022 Leave a comment

Oh my god what is that noise and where am I? Wow – I am glad I set the alarm as I was completely out of it after yesterday’s ride. Like waking after a big night out. A quick check of the body and while stiff it doesn’t feel too bad. Feeling a little sluggish […]

Don’t Forget Your Own Backyard – Part 1

Croydon Cycleworks May 10, 2022 Leave a comment

Sometimes we look for opportunities to ride and explore in areas far over the horizon. Higher mountains, dirt roads or longer rides. However sometimes a look closer to home will deliver just as great an experience. With the year moving on from summer and daylight savings, riding in Autumn is some of the best riding […]

A Mixed Bag – The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Croydon Cycleworks April 18, 2022 1 Comment

I’ve never been to Lakes Entrance before.  I’ve been to the region with road racing before and loved towns such as Paynesville and Metung, but never been to Lakes Entrance. I was well overdue for a bit of a mental break. After a couple of days of family time, I decided I would head out […]

In Part 1 of this thread we discussed preparation and what to pack for this bikepacking gravel ride weekend on the Great Southern Rail Trail.

Bikepacking Fun – Part 1 of 3

Croydon Cycleworks March 2, 2022 Leave a comment

Well it has certainly been a while since I last embarked on an adventure, let alone wrote about one. While it has been a while we have not been idle that’s for sure. I had decided to take an overnighter and had a process to go through to do it, so sit back relax with […]

Modern Road – Cervelo Caledonia

Croydon Cycleworks October 6, 2020 Leave a comment

Author: David Richards Road bikes have evolved! Remember your first road bike? It was a great way to explore more? Or carry you through your first race? Perhaps even through the backstreets to get to school. I remember mine! It was delivered on Xmas morning, but in a slightly non-operational way. Santa’s helper had no […]

Week 11 – Time to get your S#!T together again.

Croydon Cycleworks July 8, 2020 Leave a comment

I love Monday’s. Its the start to a fresh new week and a great opportunity to keep moving forward. Today I decided to add a little yoga into the mix. Yoga is fantastic to free up the body after a tough week of training. Tuesday was my rescheduled FTP test after carrying too much fatigue […]
