    A little about Ed….
    Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider for one of the most successful British cycling teams in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and founded the on/offline cycling community, Backpedal. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
    Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [laverackcoaching@yahoo.com] for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many and flexible options to suit everyone!
    Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This RUclips channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

    After all the pro riders you top it off by seeing Mr Cotty. Top video Ed. Chapeau to Charlie for lumping all the stuff around.

    Nice ride and vid. Love climbing Rates. As you've said the gradient is just about right for a good effort all the way up.

    Ed.. do you take your own gels and bike food with you? What about drinks?

    • @edlaverack
      @edlaverack  7 дней назад +1

      All of the above. Although it helps when there are petrol stations and cafes that you can call in to easily.
