Think dehydration is a summer problem? Think again. Cold air dulls your thirst, increases fluid loss and quietly chips away at your performance, whether you’re riding icy roads or training indoors. Here’s how to stay properly hydrated through winter so your legs stay strong and your progress doesn’t freeze.

Almost all swimmers rely on goggles to see while in the water, and the importance of clear vision, especially in an open water swimming race, should not be underestimated.

Stronger legs help cyclists produce more power, resist fatigue, and stay injury-free. One or two simple strength sessions per week - focused on squats, hinges, and single-leg work—can significantly improve your riding performance.

Endurance road bikes are made to keep you riding stronger for longer - smoothing rough roads, easing fatigue, and staying fast without punishing your body. More comfort, more control, more kilometres you’ll actually enjoy.

Unlike stage races, there’s no tomorrow to fix mistakes. One bad position, one puncture, one hesitation - and the race is over. That’s what gives the Spring Classics their drama, prestige, and cult status. This guide highlights what makes these races unique and introduces the 2026 Spring Classics calendar, along with new ROUVY routes that let you ride their defining terrain from home.

When cyclists talk about getting faster, aerodynamics often sounds like something reserved for pros, wind tunnels and marginal gains. In reality, the way air flows around you affects every ride. Understanding it can change how you think about speed.

Riding through winter is entirely achievable with the right approach. A few practical changes to your preparation, gear and mindset can make cold weather riding safer, more enjoyable, and far more consistent.

Indoor cycling removes the usual barriers to staying active - no traffic, no weather worries, no long preparation. It’s a time-efficient, low-impact way to build fitness, support weight management, and create a routine you can comfortably maintain from home.

FTP is more than just a number – it’s a powerful way to measure fitness, set training zones and track progress. Discover what counts as a good FTP for cyclists, how gender and age influences FTP, and what it really takes to improve your cycling power.
