Ladies Cycling Race 1896

June 7, 2016 By nextphaseinfitness Leave a Comment

The following reports combine my love of fitness and history. The first report is meant to be a report about one of the first female cycling races. But it very quickly becomes a report of female cycling fashion. I couldn’t resist posting the second report which is about the new cycling fashion craze of knickerbockers, […]

TOGO920 Cycle Challenge – Week 1

May 22, 2016 By nextphaseinfitness 4 Comments

Sunday 15 May – O’Keefe Rail Trail: Axedale towards Bendigo and back to Axedale. First ride of the challenge and first ride since injury. Very short, only 18.1 ks but felt really good. I intend this to be the shortest ride of the challenge. Shoulder and knee are feeling good, and I do feel like […]

May 16, 2016 By nextphaseinfitness 2 Comments

I came across this cycling challenge on Facebook on the weekend, and I think it might be exactly what I need to get the ks up on the bike, to what they used to be. Of late, I’ve been a bit slack as far as the bike is concerned. Plenty of gym and walking, but […]

What female cyclists should not do – 1895

The article that follows combines both my love of history and cycling. I posted it a while ago on my history  blog  but feel it should be published here also. I found it on Lists of Note.  It was published in 1895 after two women dared to turn up to a cycling event in Chicago, wearing […]

Coming Cycling Events

August 4, 2015 By nextphaseinfitness Leave a Comment

Today I’ve been thinking about goals, and cycling goals in particular. I need to get out there pedalling and quickly. This winter, the coldest I can ever remember,  has seen me get very lazy. For me the best way to make sure I stay accountable and don’t cancel training sessions is to set some goals. […]
