While I’d never deliberately solicit these scars to myself or the tools I use, they are so much more than just a necessary evil of what I choose to do.
I’m half way through one of those winter rides. The temperature has been hovering just above zero, the air is damp, dank and somehow feels colder than if it were sub-zero.
Climbing has always played a big part of my adventures, like meditation, I could clear my mind, stay focused and I could cycle to the rhythm of my heartbeat.
Introducing Stéven Le Hyari, another cyclist extraordinaire supported by Restrap. After a brief stint as an elite cyclist, Stéven’s turned his legs to adventure and to travelling the world by bike.
Restrap is excited to sponsor the inaugural Pan Celtic Race in July 2019. It’ll be no mean feat: 1440 miles through the heartlands of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, 86,371 feet of climbing and, of course, 100% self supported cycling.
Restrap is turning 10 this year, and what better way to celebrate than two days of riding across the Yorkshire Dales culminating at Britain's highest pub?
We reckon between the Restrap collective, we’ve made every mistake it is possible to during our cycling careers… and we keep finding new ones to make, day in and day out. We figure now is the time to share some of our experience and help you avoid the blunders that we’ve already committed.
