    Earlier this week Erik and I were in Mallorca, Spain, for a short training camp with our good friend Sebastian. I knew that Mallorca is a cycling location for cyclists and for Pro teams to train during off season, but I was amazed by the quantity of cyclists, locals and tourist groups we saw everywhere. Mallorca is beautiful! The roads are unbelievably smooth. The numerous climbs you get are awesome, the scenery is beautiful, the food is amazing and lets not forget that the drivers are really respectful and nearly every cafe/bars/restaurants have bike racks outside. Stay tuned for more photos from this trip. We can’t thank Seb enough for the amazing hospitality.

    Yesterday marked the final ride of the #BKLA13 trip. We’d left Cloudburst to last partially out of fear partially as it felt like the climax to the trip should be the biggest climb, both of our journey and in the general rankings this was going to be a behemoth.

    We broke clouds both physically and figuratively at 6,000ft discarding of arm warmers and gilet’s on the way up and shedding the weight of our legs and minds when we reached the top with the most rewarding views of the trip.

    The descent was spirited and punctuated by lunch and the occasional roller until we finally peaked out after the redbox climb, incredible views to the desert, Pasadena and downtown LA were the rewards for our efforts through the technical turns and consistently high speeds.

    Today saw the #BKLA13 crew roll out for our first day’s climbing. We’d assessed that Mount Wilson would be the best ‘opener’ for us and opted to ride from our lodgings at Johnny’s to the climb and back. The upshot was just over 100 miles riding and 8,000ft of climbing. I’ve never been on a ride with such a massive range of emotions, from the excited highs of the initial roll-out, stoked on the sight of our kits in the Cali sun to the new found depths of pain and grit we had to reach with each passing elevation marker. As always a full visual record of the trip so far can be found here…

    So I’m over in NYC for work again. Already had a few rides in with #5thnyc and #5thldn Matt who’s over here also putting in design work. Getting up at 4 in the morning to watch the guys race in the Grant’s tomb crit on saturday was awesome but mad cold. While I left London’s +15c on thursday New York is still stuck in the 0′s. Too cold to get the gloves off for iphone snaps so there’s only a handfull of photos from that race. When the crit was over and done with we all rode 9W up to piermont and back. Some proper headwind hammering with Dave saw us pretty satisfied with a donut sit down until the legs started responding to orders again. Dave only had one boiled egg though. The scot has started to assimilate with the American lifestyle and gone on a diet. With the results he’s had in the first few races this season it seems to do him good.

    Sunday gave us some sweet sunny +10′s so me and Matto headed out for some recovery/food sightseeing along the Hudson up to Nyack and back. When I lived over here we didnt really know about river road and we mostly rode our trackbikes up and down 9w. So I still take a lot of pleasure in hammering up the rolling climbs along the hudson and the slightly brutal ending up alpine hill. So enjoy some random iphone snaps from me and Matto and holla if you are a new yorker and see us out there. Click Read more to see all photos.

    Rudy first blogged about the work of Kirschner way back in May, and since then he has returned to his motherland of Brasil and had an opportunity to ride with them. I thought this might be a good time to remind you of one of the sickest Jersey designs and awesome photo-doc’s out there right now. They do ship to US / Europe so get in touch if you want one.

    It was back home to the Isle of Wight and it’s salty seas for my Christmas Holidays. The forecast was looking very wet and very windy but the thought of riding 500km through the rolling countryside couldn’t have been more appealing after a long year in London. It was on. Click below for words and photos.

    In september I left my hometown of Plymouth to pursue my career in London. I never realised untill I left Plymouth how much I would miss the huge hills that rise in every direction, the beautiful scenery and the shit weather. For the festive holidays I returned home for christmas, new years and the standard 500km. Click below to see how I got on with the challenge.
