Tribal Logic

By Robbie Woodcock on 30th May 2017 Reviews

Perhaps, to an extraterrestrial visitor, all cyclists are the same; functionally and morphologically identical; two legs, one head, two wheels, self-propelled, gyroscopically stabilised in one plane, inherently unstable otherwise. But that’s where the global fraternity of bicyclists begins and ends – on another planet. For cycling is as riven by tribal faction, subcultural one-upmanship and contrived mutual scorn as any human activity this side of popular music. Like any family, really. If you’re about to parachute into this Babel of bicycling and don’t know where to land, don’t worry; it will all fall into place. Unless you’re a genuine one-off…

Per Ardua Ad Astra – get on yer bike

By Robbie Woodcock on 18th May 2017 Events, Training

Last month I turned 60 I have a fairly standard roster of age-related complaints, including the compulsion to complain; a dodgy lower back (herniated L1), a BMI of 29, tinnitus, high blood pressure and cholesterol, a big, gnarly fungal toenail and upper body strength that would shame a chicken. It’s not a pretty picture, so I don’t look at it very often. Come June 11th this year, I’ll still be an overweight, paunchy 60-year-old geezer. But I’ll be an overweight, paunchy 60-year-old who has just completed the Wicklow 200. And believe me, there’s a difference. The clue is in the…
