Red Chilli Bikes
/in Blog Post, Larisa Chinces, Uncategorized /by Pedalnorth WebsiteFor some time, the team here at Pedalnorth have been looking for key brands to work in partnership with to promote cycling. Our editorial team has a wealth of talented writers and athletes, many of who still compete across Europe, the USA and elsewhere. It is important for us that the brands we work closely with share our ethos of excellence and independence in cycling and in life.
Exercise Hydration
/in Blog Post, Fitness, Health, Health and Lifestyle, Lifestyle, Nadezhda Pavlova, Nadezhda Triathlon and Training, Nutrition, Training, Triathlon /by Pedalnorth WebsiteSodium is a main electrolyte found in sweat and plays an important role in fluid balance in the body and in athletes’ performance. Sodium loss can vary a lot between individuals and is also pretty stable within an individual too. How do you determine if you are a salty sweater and how much sodium should you consume to keep hydration levels optimized? One thing is certain, and that is the issue of correct hydration and fluid replacement for athletes, so let’s examine this.
Voom Nutrition Bars
/in Blog Post, Health, Health and Lifestyle, Kit Reviews, Lifestyle, Nutrition, Robert Thorpe /by Pedalnorth WebsiteDuring the spring and summer of 2020 I’ve been using and testing the Voom Nutrition energy bars and their super tasty “Recovery Fudge” protein bar. Best of all, they’re more than a replacement for the Mars Bars and I’ve seen my power levels maintained on both long rides and shorter but harder rides. How can they benefit your own cycling?
Costa Blanca MTB Stage Race
/in Bikecation, Bikecation Locations, Blog Post, Cycle Tourism, European Bikecation Locations, European MTB Routes, Lifestyle, MTB Routes, MTB Stage Races, Spain MTB Routes, Steve Smales /by Pedalnorth WebsiteOver the last thirty five years of cycle racing, I’ve often considered my peers and their contentment at riding the same disciplines, indeed the same races, year in year out. Each to their own and all that, but it’s not for me. It’s probably a Myers-Briggs personality thing. Firstly, I like new experiences; secondly, as a very average amateur athlete, I have never really found a discipline that has offered fame and fortune. Riding the same races over and over again holds little appeal.

/in Bike Routes, Bikecation, Bikecation Locations, Blog Post, Colombia Road Cycling, Cycle Tourism, Lifestyle, North and South America Cycling, Road Cycling Routes /by Pedalnorth WebsiteThe longest road climb in the world is in the majestic hills of Colombia.

The Mature Athlete and The Vicious Circle
/in Blog Post, Bloggers, Cycle Racing, Health, Health and Lifestyle, Lifestyle, Steve Smales, Training /by Pedalnorth WebsiteOver the last thirty years I’ve raced and trained consistently. From consistent top ten finishes in the CTT British Best All-Rounder competition, through cyclocross and MTB Cross Country. Twenty to thirty starts a year on average. Under normal circumstances, I love my sport and drive home just as euphorically happy after turning myself inside out to hang onto a group in a cross race as I did to score the occasional win against the watch fifteen years ago.
