Lincsquad TT report and results round 4

All aboard the Skylark

Firstly, congratulations to all Lincsquadders, who over the last weekend, took part in various triathlons and races across England, the Lake District and Wales. It must have been like taking a hammer to the head to bringing those results home!   It truly is great to see Lincsquad colours flying high.  This upcoming weekend sees the Bomber descend on Brigg and many nations will compete!  Good luck to all and safe racing!  I spent a bit of time reading Lincsquadders’ reports from the Slateman and they reminded me of the story of Pheidippides.  Continue reading

Round 2 Lincsquad TT 2019

4 seasons in one TT…..

A few people have asked me about how long it takes to write these TT reports.  My answer is that you can’t pitch up home ten minutes after the race, warm up the computer and wing this gig.   The race results, CTT affiliations, Lincsquad’s members list and weather details need to be scoured.  We always quickly trawl through social media for rider opinions and talking points.

Duathlon Provisional Results for race 2 of 2019

As I sit drinking a lovely cold beer, looking up the garden and admiring all the hard work I have manged to get out off (due to the fact last year I had major surgery, a Kidney removed and I am still not 100%). it starts me thinking, which is dangerous I know, but it does.

Headwind Simply a great workout- More wind please

Team Clements tackles the Puffer

Two years ago I did the Strathpuffer solo for the first time and said I would never do it again but after a few months, when the feeling finally returned to my toes, I made a few notes of what I would do different, IF I did it again.


For those who are not familiar with this event it is a 24 hour mountain bike race held in the Highlands of Scotland in January, where competitors can compete as a team of 4, in pairs or if daft enough solo.
