Going Long: Mark Beaumont, the godfather of ultra riding

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 09:38:41 GMT

When Mark Beaumont started ultra riding it wasn't a recognised discipline – it was simply known as going out for a very long ride. In the first episode of Going Long, Mark talks us through his years of cycling huge distances which culminated in a round the world record, or as he puts it "an 18,000 mile time trial"

The call of the coast

Thu, 24 Oct 2024 13:02:57 GMT

What is it about the sea that calls us to it? If travelling by bike the chances are it's not the fun of a day at the seaside with a bucket and spade and a couple of ice-creams. Is it the natural beauty, the end-of-the-road nature of the route or something else?

This week's issue, the fourth in our Travel Month, isn't about riding to the coast, it's about riding along it, discovering the natural beauty where land meets the see. Steve Shrubsall went on a 150 mile ride down the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, and as well as seals and Dolphins, found a curry restaurant on a boat!

Plus we catch up with Dr Josephine Perry who, in our first issue of Travel Month wrote a piece about staying healthy while travelling. Find out what Jet Lag Protocols pro teams put in place, and what her top five items are that she always carries when travelling.

You can catch up with our previous three podcasts where ever you listen, while back issues of the magazine are available via the following links.

Explore the world

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 10:35:04 GMT

In our third issue of Travel Month we're heading off the beaten track to explore new places on our gravel bikes. The growth of this new cycling discipline has opened many new places across the world to those travelling on two wheels. So we went in search of the best places to ride.

Adventurer Julian Sayarer has crossed the world by bike, and this week gives you the tips, advice and encouragement to head off on your own trips. What to take with you, and what to expect if you and your bike want to head to far off lands.

Also in this week's podcast, Joe Laverick talks about his travels around the gravel race scene. As new events pop up all over the world, they give us all the opportunity to discover new places with our bike. And as Joe explains, many of the big events you might have read about celebrate the riders finishing at the back, as much as they do the pros at the front.

These features and more are in the October 17 issue of Cycling Weekly magazine, available in print, online, and on your chosen device.

Epic new ride destinations

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 09:51:08 GMT

It was the Dalai Lama who said ‘Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.’ On the surface, that might sound extravagant. We can’t all fly off to the Maldives, or spend weeks away from family or work to explore the world. But think about it a little, and think about it in terms of your cycling.

‘Some place new’ needn’t be far-flung, or five-star. Your bike can take you anywhere, and with a little research and planning, it needn’t cost the earth.

From a new stretch of road, to a new town, city or even a new country, the anticipation and thrill of going ‘someplace you’ve never been before’ is the true joy of travel. Exploring new places on a bike brings the promise of a perfect new road to ride.

Maybe the best climb you’ve ever ridden is just round the corner, with a jawdropping view at the top followed by a sweeping descent down to a cafe serving some mouth-watering local cuisine.

In this week's issue we talk to the writers who explored Slovenia - home of Tadej Pogačar - and Cyprus, courtesy of a cycling loving, luxurious, boutique hotel owner. You can read the articles in the October 10 issue of Cycling Weekly magazine

Summit Baggers

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 05:15:00 GMT

In the first of our travel issues, we go in search of some epic climbs. Tom Davidson takes on the cobbled climb of the Gotthard Pass while Simon Warren of 100 Climbs fame trawls through his unequalled climbing knowledge to name his 14 bucket list climbs around the world.

Editor Simon Richardson talks to them about the climbs they've ridden, and why they think cyclists are so obsessed with the fight against gravity. Is it the views, the satisfaction, or something else.

Our summit bagging issue goes on sale Thursday, October 3 and is available in stores and online via Apple News and Readly. You can also subscribe to Cycling Weekly magazine and get it delivered direct to your door every Thursday.

October is travel month in Cycling Weekly. Here's what's coming up.

October 17 - Go explore
October 23 - The UK's coastline
