Rob Smith reports from Round 4 of the British Downhill Championships
This was my first time back riding in the UK since racing in Europe, but also back racing was my younger brother, Ed who has been travelling the world for five weeks. I walked the track on Friday with world cup winner Marc Beaumont, and the organisers obviously wanted [...]
A few weeks ago I (Ross) flew out to the Alps to take part in the first ever Tour du Mont Blanc sportive.
3 countries, 7 alpine cols, 8000+ metres of climbing all in one go. It seemed like a good use of a weekend, with the potential for accruing some decent bragging rights.

The elite criterium was the main event of an [...]
I raced the VOTWO Kamikaze 2 weekends ago. Being my first race in a year because of my back, and having been only able to run 3-4 times a week I wasn’t at all sure how my fitness would be, but somehow I managed to win – article attached. It was great fun, I’ll definitely [...]
With the For Goodness Shakes staff MTB enduro team taking a solid 21st on the Saturday (a great effort from Jodie, Chris and Tom, as Ross went missing in action with back spasms half way through the 12hr race!), the baton was handed over to Solo rider Rob Lee. Rob’s task was to take care of [...]
Jan Birkmeyer of the Orbea-For Goodness Shakes cycling team reports from the National Derny Champs:
“The race was full on from the gun, in fact a number of spectators commented that the women’s final was more exciting than the men’s – not something you often hear! I drew position three and was pleased with that, but [...]
