So there Alice was. Pedaling away on her Specailzied Tarmac, locked in on a Wahoo Kickr Indoor trainer, completing the 20 minute FTP test. Indoor training at it's very best. Little did she know, that I thought it would be a bright idea to capture some of the footage. When Alice realized I was there filming, things got a little out of hand! But we kissed and made up after the FTP test the Wahoo Kickr was complete and she suggested that I should share this footage with everyone for a bit of a laugh. What a good sport and she even has a good laugh at this video herself.

The Giant TCR Advanced SL VS the BMC Teammachine SLR01 Review.
Both these bikes I have are Shimano Ultegra with Quarq Power Meter Cranks, rim brakes (although the BMC has direct mount and the Giant does not), I’ve used both with the same wheels (which have been a blend of the Enve 6.7 Tubulars, and or the Enve 3.4 Clinchers), both have a Specialized Toupe saddle, and Speedplay pedals.
In this review, though we will focus on the frameset, and both the Giant TCR and BMC Teamachine's frameset that I have are current, external to some slight variations to accommodate disc brakes.
In this review we will focus on four main topics:
1 - Price and Weight
2 - Geometry & Design
3- Riding Experience
4 - Which bike I'll be keeping and why

A slightly different video today about self improvement, but a good one to start this new cycling Vlog series, which is about mixing road cycling/bike racing with a busy family lifestyle.
Today I will share with you how I ended up on YouTube making cycling videos. After I purchased my first road bike in 2009 - which was a Scott Addict, followed by a Specialized Tarmac, the a Venge, then...the list kinda goes on. I started a cycling marketplace called Bike Chaser in 2015, which led me to the weird and wonderful world of making cycling videos on YouTube.

3 months after buying a Giant TCR Advanced SL, and I go and buy a BMC Teammachine SLR01. Do I have a road bike buying problems? Probably.
But in addition to my road cycling addiction to carbon bikes, I also plan to review both these bikes on the channel shortly. The review will be a head to head comparison. The beauty of the two bikes that I have here are that they are both:
Shimano Ultegra with Rim brakes
I'll use the same wheels for the testing, which will be the Enve 6.7 tubular.
While both bikes are older models, their frame geometry is the same as the 2020 models. So stay tuned for the review.

The Number Two Mistake Cyclists Make with Training
Channel Subscription: https://bit.ly/2Vfd4mO
Free eBook: https://www.camnicholls.com/free-guide
Online Course: https://go.roadcyclingacademy.com/program
In this video I will share with you the number two mistake road cyclists make with their cycling training. Notably discussing a number of training tips, and isolating how an unstructured approach to training - including bunch riding, competitive rides with friends, and random solo riding - can leave many cyclists on a plateau. Sure, they will have seen improvements in fitness initially, but what happens when they hit the plateau. Thus, I will be sharing a solution to the problem, giving you inside access to a training module. The inside access is a cycling training methodology called the Step Ladder Approach. It takes into consideration a proven and structured approach to training that will ensure rapid improvements on the bike.
Prior to sharing this methodology, I will reflect on the number one mistake cyclists make in training, which centers around training zones, notably zone two and building base fitness.

The Specialized Allez Sprint. We've done reviews, criterium pig, and general road cycling content together. It's been a real journey with this Specialized aluminum road bike. It was almost two years ago today, I had this bike built up at Hampton Cycles with:
Allez Sprint Graffiti frameset
Shimano 105 groupset
Quarq power meter
Fulcrum 5 wheels
Shortly after the build, I needed to invest into some carbon wheels for criterium racing. So that had the Allez sporting some Enve carbon race wheels that have really made it pop. In this video I will share:
What I have loved about riding the Specialized Allez Sprint
What I have disliked &
