Interview: Richard Oakes

Interview: Richard Oakes

Richard Oakes was a successful junior racer before pursuing a high-flying business career. He returned to top-level competition in 2019 in a personal quest to see how fast he could go. In the course of doing so, he has won masters titles on the track at national and world level and in 2023, at the age of 54, set a new Masters Hour World Record.


In 2025 he published The Equation, co-written with our very own Chris Sidwells. Richard sat down with Chris recently to talk about the book which isn’t so much a memoir but a manifesto you build for your life.


You can buy The Equation on the Ohten or Cycling Legends website:
