One of our best ever - Graham Jones

One of our best ever - Graham Jones

It’s been a while since I last posted to my blog. The new job is definitely taking all of my time – but it’s a dream job so am not compaining about it at all.

Anyway, I decided to listen to a podcast from our Tour Series event and was very impressed with it. Now I’d like to share it with you.

Do you want to know what makes The Tour Series so successful? Well, besides the management team behind the event, it also takes finding some great circuits that will demand the most from the riders, yet deliver top quality entertainment for the crowd. And knowing what makes a great circuit comes only from experience at the highest level in the sport.

Now I have the great honour of working with Graham Jones, five-times rider of the Tour de France and one of only a handful of British riders that placed within the top 20 of this magnificent race. A very humble man about his achievments, but having spent many years on the professional circuit, he is well placed to know what will challenge the boys on their bikes.

To listen to Graham tell us what makes a superb racing circuit, then click here.

I’ll have more updates in the days to come. Remember, The Tour of Britain is taking place from 12 – 19 September. If you’re in the vacinity, why not stop by and come watch the best cycle racing to hit British soil.

Well, if you would like to see the beautiful Spanish countryside while riding your trusty two-wheel steed, then head on over to CycleTourSpain.com.

CycleTourSpain.com is a free online resource for independent-minded cyclists who want to experience the beauty of Spain on two wheels but without the expense of a tour that is set in its route. Now you have the chance to arrange it the way you want it to be, by going where you want to go.

There are some great features on the different routes available to fellow cyclists, including videos of these particular routes.

Plus, there is also a podcast of yours truly being interviewed by Chris Lee, the founder of the site, about preparing for mountain riding in the heat. This is all based on my experience of when I used to race in South Africa. Check it out when you get a chance :-)

So, why not give Spain a go this summer. And to help you prepare yourself for the trip, use CycleTourSpain.com.
