    One of my favourite things about in is making folk smile with surprise high-5s for anybody hailing buses and taxis

    Love, love, love this place. 2,000m up, inside the crater of Teide. The road is immaculate and the landscape always reminds me of the old Roadrunner cartoons . Also: buzzing after smashing my sea-summit PB 🥵

    Sometimes everything is just👌🏼 This bike, on this road, on this day.

    4 nights. 450km. 11,000 vertical metres. The Tenerife weekender has been amazing, as always. Perfect prep towards in three weeks and a headstart on those sharp tan lines.

    More exploration in the north east corner of the island, in the Anaga National Park. This is the very steep climb back up from the wonderfully name Taganana. 📸

    Exploring the Mercedes Hills and El Bailadero for a recovery day in the middle of our trip. It’s a little like Masca but less crazy with tourist traffic. Recommended.

    It’s not just climbing on Tenerife. If you love hitting apexes and linking fast corners you’ll find plenty of practice here. Swipe to see the amazing TF-28 from Güímar to Granadilla. 60km without a single bit of…

    The climb to Teide winds it’s way through the Corona Forest from 1,000m up. At this altitude the air is crisp and pure with the scent of pine. You’re gulping in big lungfuls as it’s also thinner up here.

    Bike against a volcano . I love smashing a big descent and I had this one in mind when I specced my Madone with a 53/39T chainrings. 38 minutes of flat-out downhill 😎

    The 36km sea-to-summit climb up Teide has become an annual fitness test. 2,200m of climbing despatched six minutes quicker than last year. Fitness looking good ahead of next month. 📸

    It’s back to the big hill for a focused block of high quality training and tan line cultivation. 📸

    How tiny is this? When pack space is at a premium these @tubolitotubes make a great choice. I run tubeless and hope to never need them but I’ll be carrying a pair as backup during

    The sprint finish seems to come down to what you do in the final 1.5-0.5 laps of the race. Dig deep to get into a top 10 position. Elbows out and dig deeper still to maintain it before unleashing everything in the final 200m. Sprinting tips?

    So, so fly. Sneaking in some winter miles on the summer whippet.

    The hare and hounds. I’m getting stuck into weekly-ish crit races to sharpen up for Oman at the end of Feb. Always the Masters races when possible. Instead of always going for breaks I’m typically working on my sprint, which is slowly becoming less rubbi…

    Last race of the year. I did a sprint and wasn’t completely shit. It’s the weakest tool in my box but I’ve started to work on it and it’s improving, bit by bit. Another goal for 2020. 📸 Betty

    Confession time: I suck at gravel riding. It’s unfamiliar and my balls shrivel up on loose surfaces but I’m hoping a bit of experience will build some confidence. There’s not a huge amount of gravel on but there’s enough that it could be d…

    I just set my tubeless wheels up with new tyres. 12 minutes. No mess. Didn’t swear once.
