I started cycling in January 2006 after having to give up running following a fractured left foot injury which could not cope any more with heavy impact.
I like to have a target, so I started with the White Rose 83km and then the Dragon Ride 102km Sportives. After completing them both I felt that I would be able to get my cycling up to a higher standard.
Dave Lloyd was introduced to me by a client of mine (I am a Physiotherapist) Ian Cowley. Ian was a good cyclist and looking to get back on his bike after recovering from a back operation. Dave’s web site impressed me with his achievements, and the fact that this man is so passionate about the sport that he eats, sleeps and breathes cycling. He was the man for me!
The new target event for me was the Spud Riley 100miles and I enlisted Dave to get me training correctly. His training programme was tailored specifically for me with consideration to the amount of time that I had available and my ability and of course my seasons goal. After our first conversation I immediately got the impression that coaching me, at my ripe old age, was as important to Dave as was coaching a young 18 yr old with Olympic aspirations.
After 3 months on this programme I successfully completed the Spud Riley in 7hrs 33mins. The last 30 miles was into gale force winds and rain. Welcome to the World of cycling and a big thank you to Dave
2007 Le Marmotte was my next great achievement, 9hrs 41mins a silver standard for my age group of 47.
In 18months I went from a Sunday rider to achieving La Marmotte in a decent time. My season finished on a high by almost beating 6 hrs when completing the Tour of Britain leg from Worcester to Wolverhampton (100miles). Now with Dave’s coaching I am aiming to achieve Gold standard at the 2008 La Marmotte.
My enjoyment of cycling and my success over the last 18months has definitely been down to having Dave coaching me with the correct programme, advice, guidance and support. You can always guarantee that Dave is only a phone call or e-mail away and I do know that he even spoke to one of his cyclists on Boxing Day. I would recommend anyone who rides and wishes to improve to try this route, I would also recommend starting with the ramp test to ascertain your present fitness and strength and weaknesses.
