Mondays are usually a drag, but when they follow the biggest mountainbike festival/ weekend on the calendar they are particularly painful! Having had a great weekend at the Karkloof Classic, its difficult to sit down indoors with a desk littered with papers and stare at a computer screen, not to mention trying to be productive while doing so. I think the only thing that makes this possible is the smell of coffee emanating from the downstairs machine, and the fact that there is a warm shaft of sunlight stretching across the floor… Fortunately there are a few things that make Mondays bright, for instance this Monday is the day I get to introduce a new supplement writer on the blog; Coach.

With our focus in the past being on product, industry news and racing updates it seemed a little silly not to add more valued content to the blog in the form of training and nutritional information., and this is exactly what “Coach” is here to do. I can’t promise how often we plan to have articles as we do not want to force content but rather put it out when there is something worth writing about. We do however plan to have a great archive of content on training techniques, bike set-up procedures and nutrition. The first article with this in mind is taken from sportsinjurybulletin and is a great read on bike set-up to avoid injury. Written by Sean Fyfe and physiotherapist, tennis coach and director of TFP [Tennis Fitness Program] it is a great way to open what we hope will be a feature packed section on our blog. I hope you enjoy!
