"Team Swift and Bold - your attempt at one of the world's toughest endurance cycle races under such tragic circumstances is a true inspiration. I wish you all the luck in the world."

Bristol Training Ride Sunday 6th Feb

A 'ride of two halves': into the wind all the way out and flew on the way back. Level 3 (76-90% of FTP -Functional Threshold Pwr). Really good tarmac from Clevedon back to Portishead, spinning along merrily in the largest chainring!! Tech focus on maintaining high cadence and relaxing on the hills. All in all an enjoyable session; just need to do more!!

Saturday 29 Jan '11 -First Team Meeting and Training Session - Richmond Park

On a very cold but bright January morning Team Swift and Bold finally got to meet face to face, thrash out a couple of laps of the delightful Richmond Park and discuss the RAAM Race Rules (all 67 pages!!) over a coffee. Plenty of actions ands and ideas were generated for the racers and support crew to work on. Martin did a sterling job with the banner, Osha did her 'Mario Testino' bit shooting snaps, Mr and Mrs B and Brian filled us with coffee and superb homemade fudge (we'll need plenty of this in the US!) and Catriona (David's girlfriend) spent the morning trying to make sense of the race rules in the cafe!!
