Audax explained | All you need to know about the self-supported, long-distance cycling discipline

Audax explained | All you need to know about the self-supported, long-distance cycling discipline

In today’s episode of the BikeRadar podcast, digital writer Jack Evans and technical writer Oscar Huckle are joined by long-distance cycling doyenne Eleanor Jaskowska. Eleanor is an expert randonneur, having completed the 1,200km Paris-Brest-Paris audax on a fixed-gear bike in 2019. She is also the founder of the School of Rocks, a women-led off-road cycling community. Oscar recently rode a 300km overnighter, so both are well-equipped to tell you all you need to know about audax. After explaining what an audax is and how to enter an event, Jack, Oscar and Eleanor chat randonneur awards, brevet cards and ‘audax hotels’. Eleanor and Oscar share their recommendations on routes, packing, nutrition and hydration. They also discuss tech and bike setups. Eleanor suggests how to prepare for an epic ride such as the 1,000km Mille Cymru audax she completed in preparation for Paris-Brest-Paris. Although audaxes can be arduous, Eleanor urges you to try out what she believes is an unmissable cycling experience. https://www.bikeradar.com/features/routes-and-rides/audax/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Trail and Enduro Bike of the Year Special

Trail and Enduro Bike of the Year Special

After a full winter of wet and muddy testing, and then a week thrashing the top-contenders in Spain with BlackTown Trails, we’ve crowned our Trail Bike of the Year, and Enduro Bike of the Year. With MBUK in the shops and BikeRadar rolling out the reviews online and on YouTube, we thought we’d bring together Rob Weaver, Tom Marvin and Luke Marshall, who put the entire test together, to discuss the process, the bikes and the eventual winners.

Road Tech Talk | Have we reached ‘peak bike’?

Road Tech Talk | Have we reached ‘peak bike’?

We’ve had great leaps in bike tech over the years that have greatly improved our road bikes – frame materials, compact geometry, electronic groupsets and disc brakes, amongst others. But where will things go next – is there another round of vast improvements yet to come, or have we, as we suspect, reached ‘peak bike’? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What’s the hardest mountain bike discipline?

What’s the hardest mountain bike discipline?

Between the team at BikeRadar, we reckon we’ve raced pretty much every mountain bike race format going. But, what’s the toughest type of mountain bike racing you can do? MBUK’s Luke Marshall has raced at World Cup DH level, while Seb Stott has competed in a number of EWS events.

BikeRadar Meets | Wind Tunnel Testing at the Boardman Performance Centre

BikeRadar Meets | Wind Tunnel Testing at the Boardman Performance Centre

In the autumn we headed to the Boardman Performance Centre, where they’ve built a bike-specific wind tunnel, that’s open to the public. We wanted to find free and cheap ways to cut our time in a 100 mile sportive, using the data provided by the wind tunnel. After our time there, we sat down with Barney Wainright, Head of Science to talk through our results. We then spent some time with Lee, the centre’s Lead Physiologist, discussing training and fitness testing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Have gravel bikes made Cyclocross better?

Have gravel bikes made Cyclocross better?

Though appearing niche from the outside, cyclocross (or CX) is enjoying a resurgence in the UK, with races attracting ever increasing numbers of participants. Warren Rossiter and Robin Wilmott talk us through this resurgence, and the impact of the burgeoning gravel scene on the CX bikes we’ve seen released in recent years – namely, the gravel bike replacing the CX bike as the ‘ideal’ commuter bike, thus allowing CX bikes to return to their racing roots.
