Andrew Randell blog: Misfortune in Philly

Philly has been a good race for SpiderTech p/b  C10 over the last two years. On both occasions the team has ridden well and placed riders towards the front of the race. And again this year the team rode superbly, placing Martin and Keven at the front for the sprint. Only this year we were [...]

Reboot

Reboot

Ok, let’s try that again. Yesterday, the Route Adelie de Vitre was my first race back after three weeks of being sick – really a new start to the season and my spring campaign here in Europe. Since my sickness had come in two waves – first I had a sinus infection that seemed to [...]

Build that Confidence

Les Boucles Sud Ardeche, a one-day race in the foothills of the Alps, was my second race of the season and the next step in building myself up into a bike racer again. We lucked out with a nice day – 11C with the sun shining, warming us up despite a cold, winter wind that [...]

South Bay Training

South Bay Training

As always at this time of the year I find myself in the south bay area outside of San Francisco preparing for the coming season. This is my favourite time of the year – these are probably the best roads I have ever ridden on. Any given day I can choose from any of nine [...]

Telmex Tour

Telmex Tour

 Not six days after finishing the Vuelta Cuba we were off to Mexico to start the Telmex Tour. This was the early season and miles in the legs was the plan and that was just what we were going to get: the Telmex Tour was 8 days with most of the stages between 150 and [...]
