Post-ride ritual First things first, got to connect the #garmin to #strava. Then it's all about the recovery, self-massage with my #formfit and #veloskin soothing gel to help soothe and cool muscle soreness and any skin damage caused by our very British weather. #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream #myveloskin #rivelorides #soothinggel #recovery (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CIpIblEee/?igshid=4xc61ycmlbir

Hi Everyone On the 4th August (yes, that’s less than a month to go now!) I’ll be taking on the Prudential Ride London - this means cycling a 100-mile route on closed roads through the capital and into Surrey’s stunning countryside. With leg-testing climbs and a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics. One of the great things about this event is the amount of money that it will generate for well deserving charities. After a great deal of thought i have chosen to support Prostate Cancer UK and i hope that you would also like to help me to raise funds for this very good cause. How i hear you ask, Simple, just follow the link https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/veloweasel Thank you for your support Darren Hepworth AKA Veloweasel You can also follow my progress on Strava or Instagram links below. https://www.strava.com/athletes/1237061 https://www.instagram.com/veloweasel You can also find out further information in the links below. https://prostatecanceruk.org https://www.prudentialridelondon.co.uk #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream #myveloskin #rivelorides #prostatecanceruk #justgiving #prudentialridelondon (at Prudential RideLondon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzspqGJFuae/?igshid=h3ybw5qhgh3x

#gybr #greatyorkshirebikeride The Great Yorkshire Bike Ride is a sponsored charity cycle event that took us on a fantastic route over 74 miles, from the Wetherby racecourse, across the best of Yorkshire and on to the coast at Filey. A BIG THANK YOU to all the organisers, helpers, marshals and sponsors that made this a memorable day and one that I will return to next year. I hope that all the good causes associated with the event, benefit from the moneys raised so they can continue to do their good work. This was my last organised ride in preparation for my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you. #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream #myveloskin #rivelorides (at North Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxnGUcFRNi/?igshid=1iqgi0hw9lfqo

Boy there was a lot of people out cycling this morning, well done us! I think everyone was taking advantage of the small window of pleasant weather. To those of you who I may have missed, I say again “Morning!” Can’t wait for next weekend now and the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride, I have heard such great things about it. Have you ridden it? Are you riding it? Let me know and keep on enjoying those sunday morning rides. Another good preparation ride https://strava.app.link/FFpWKaXupX for my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you. #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream #myveloskin #rivelorides (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiS11pFKUv/?igshid=t6qdddp1fy4q

Well that was a wet ride, https://www.strava.com/activities/2423615234. But like they say ‘There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing’ and as a keen cyclist i have an abundance of clothing for every conceivable weather condition and now i have the final missing piece @veloskin.cc chamois cream, which was the standout product in last nights deluge. Where the waterproof coat, gloves & over socks eventually reached their natural saturation point, the chamois cream just kept on working. It’s confidence in your cycling rituals that mean even the wettest of days can be enjoyable rides and all good preparation for my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you. #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream #myveloskin #rivelorides (at Huddersfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVDW0MF7HO/?igshid=1c6hgetpn7rid

Am I missing something by not using chamois cream/butter etc? Its a question I've been asking myself for a while! Although I haven’t had problems thus far, could my ride be more comfortable. My rides are now starting to get longer and more frequent as i build towards my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk (please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you). So some research was needed. I was drawn to @veloskin.cc by their informative blogs and a passing resemblance in name! I opted for the travel pack which would allow me to sample the whole range of products on offer at minimal cost to me #proudyorkshireman . As you can see my order has now been received and i can’t wait to get back out on the bike, if they are as good as they smell I’m looking forward to an exceptionally comfortable ride. #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle #veloskin #chamoiscream (at West Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrnsaSBrLt/?igshid=h442mj056zzi

The Tour of The Pennines, was an amazing mix of challenging climbs, amazing descents and stunning scenery. We rode North with the first climb after only 10km known locally as Billy Lane. It was lumpy all the way to the first Stanhope Stop at 37km a great feed stop which allowed us to refuel before tackling Crawleyside (official 100 Climbs number 59), Blanchland to Rookhope which is 10km of uphill, Stone Cairn which summits at 539m and Allenheads climb which summits at 573m, the highest point on the course before heading back to the 2nd Stanhope Feed and tackling the delightful climb of Unthank Bank (official 100 Climbs number 155), easy to understand how it got it’s name! Once we crested the 395m summit we descend then immediately we tackled Bollihope Climb, all the way from 300m to 500m in 1 mile! It was a superb route and a chance for me to explore this little ridden part of the World and really test your legs in preparation for my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you. https://www.strava.com/activities/2359487797 #tourofthepennines #velo29 #velo20events #primal #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle (at Barnard Castle) https://www.instagram.com/veloweasel/p/BxcVjYehNTY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pq696szere8m

Back on it this weekend with two days of 50km plus riding, in very different conditions. Saturday was difficult with its wind and rain (remnants of storm Hannah) and today with clear skies if not a little breezy was easier on the legs. Need to keep at it now though as I have the @velo29_events - Tour of the Pennines approaching sooner than I realised and I'm starting to feel undercooked. But it's all good preparation for my first #prudentialridelondon in aid of #prostatecanceruk please help support my rides by going to my #JustGiving page found in bio, thank you. https://strava.app.link/xkgJPL35fW https://strava.app.link/tqEXDgS5fW https://www.strava.com/activities/2325388005 #motivation #veloweasel #fromwhereiride #cycling #cyclingislife #cyclingaddict #cyclinglifestyle #cyclingphotos #cyclingphoto #rideeverything #cycleculture #cyclestyle #bicyclestyle #bicycleculture #instabike #strava #cyclists #velo #roadslikethese #cyclinglife #instabicycle (at Cleckheaton) https://www.instagram.com/veloweasel/p/Bwzi1nLFyJD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f6a9826qzxto

My first #sportive of the year the #valevelo organised by @ukcyclingevents (a big thank you to all your staff and volunteers). It was the perfect ride to finally get me over the 100km barrier, I was presented to some of the best views the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds had to offer, while also providing an early-year wake-up call for my legs.
