Dear All, due to some random rumour spreading we are experiencing a huge amount of emails, texts etc. saying we are not honouring our bookings.
Can I say once and for all we have no intention of not honouring bookings. We as Cycle Transfer and Triathlon Transfer have never let a customer down in 14 years and do not intend to start now.
I agree I have been slow in replying due to health issues, however John has answered everyone as best he can unfortunately in this day and age of social media things have escalated rapidly.
Please accept my assurance we will be taking all bikes that have booked with us to all events.
Cycle Transfer is Triathlon Transfer and vice versa it is John and Fiona and we are here I have every intention of answering everyone in the next day or two now I am able.
Kindest regards
Fiona :)

The evenings are becoming darker and the clocks will soon change, so now is the ideal time to think about your safety when cycling in the dark. 🌙
Remember to check the lights on your bike work, the light on your helmet has new batteries, and your high-vis clothing is ready to go! 💡

As the saying goes, triathlons have 4 disciplines - swim, bike, run and nutrition. A lot of thought goes into meal-prep through your training plans, but a lot of athletes forget about snacks for the race itself! 🚵♀️
The bike section is a great place to start replacing lost calories and for ease, most people tend to use gels, such as those made by Science in Sport but make sure you supplement each gel with a good amount of water to keep yourself hydrated. Some people even like to munch on a banana on the bike! 🍌
What is our favourite mid-race snack?

Hill rides are a great way to mix up your training regime and put you in a strong position for any hilly events you may have entered. 🌄
We know many of you use hills in your training plan, and although you will lose cadence and speed on the uphill sections, it will really improve your overall strength and stamina. 🚵♂️
Top tip - while climbing, it’s beneficial to alternate between both seated and standing, which has the added advantage of allowing you to stand up and stretch mid-ride!
Are you a hill lover or a hill hater?

🚲 FUN FACTS 🚲
⭐Like most things, bikes go through fashions, with the Penny Farthing being one of the most famous early bikes.
⭐ Bikes used to be known as a velocipede. The term "bicycle" became popular in the 1860s.
⭐ Half of all the parts of a typical bicycle are in the chain.
⭐ The slow cycling record was set by Tsugunobu Mitsuishi in 1965 when he stayed stationary for 5 hours and 25 minutes.
⭐ The longest "tandem" bike ever built was almost 67 feet long and could seat 35.
Do you know any fun facts? We would love to hear them!

Did you take part in the London to Brighton ride last week? It’s almost certainly the most famous ride in the South, covering 55 miles, attracting over 14,000 participants and raising millions of pounds for charities. 💷
We know a lot of triathletes use this ride to mix up their training plans, so we would love to her how you got on. 🚵♂️
Find out about more about the ride at Skyline Events and book your spot for next year.

It’s often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it’s even more crucial on the day of a triathlon. An energy-dense, protein-rich and nutritious breakfast will set you up perfectly for a successful event, by maintaining energy, aiding recovery and improving performance.
Some easy breakfast ideas are:
🥚 Poached eggs on wholemeal toast
🥣 Porridge with fresh fruit
🍳 Omelette with cottage cheese
🍓 Greek yogurt with berries (our personal favourite!)
British Triathlon have some useful tips on nutrition both in the run-up to the event and on the day of the race.
What is your ‘go to’ breakfast?

Did you know, we were the first business to transfer bikes fully assembled? Since our first journey in 2009, we have transferred thousands of bikes to events in mainland Europe and the UK, without ever having to remove wheels, take off pedals or adjust your saddle height. This means that on arrival at your event, your bike is ready to ride!
And as an extra bonus, your bike is insured for £10,000 whilst in our care, although we have never had to make an insurance claim as your bikes are so well protected during our transportation service.
Why not get your bike booked in and take the stress out of your next event?

This weekend sees both the men's and women’s IRONMAN world championships, taking place in Lahti, Finland, on the 26th and 27th August.
The course is simply breathtaking! The swim takes place in beautiful Lake Vesijärvi, with athletes diving from a wooden platform into the clear water below. The bike section starts in front of the famous Sibelius Hall and takes you around the stunning Finnish countryside, ending with a leg-burning steep incline before you dismount near the Sport and Fair Centre. Finally, the run consists of two loops of both indoor and outdoor sections. As one of the flattest countries in Europe, you can expect a speedy race on a flat run!
Have you qualified for the championships? Which section are you most looking forward to?

With the British weather being so unpredictable, more and more triathletes are turning to Peloton as part of their year-round training programme. 🚲
Many of you find the accountability of a community, real-time metrics, and easy-to-follow training plans a major incentive. With some careful planning, Peloton is an effective way for triathletes to get in those long and lonely (but intense) indoor sessions.
Do you have a Peloton or do you prefer to brave the wind and rain? ☔

There are some key IRONMAN events taking place in July, namely Ironman UK in Bolton which took place yesterday, and the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt later this month.
It's so important to work out the logistics of getting your bike to the racking area before the race and exactly where to collect it afterwards, well in advance.
Bike boxes are deemed to be 'standby luggage' by airlines, which means they will only get onto the plane if there is enough space and weight capacity! ✈
If the airline does not have space on your plane, it may mean your bike will be put on a later flight. It may be worth asking your airline what will happen if your bike does not travel on the same plane as you. 😬
Make things easier for yourself this year and use Cycle Transfer for transporting your bike to your events. We are here to take the stress out of cycling. 😊

Nutrition is absolutely key when it comes to triathlons, both in advance, on the day and after the events. But did you know, you burn on average 10,000 calories during a triathlon? 😲
British Triathlon has put together a comprehensive guide to Triathlete nutrition, featuring handy meal plans.
https://www.britishtriathlon.org/training/nutrition-hub/eating-for-triathlon
They advise a varied diet including:
🥜 Carbohydrates and healthy fats, which provide important sources of energy
🍖 Good quality protein to help your muscles recover and rebuild
🍍 A variety of fruit and vegetables to ensure you have sufficient vitamins and minerals
What are your favourite training meals? Tell us in the comments.

June is a very busy month with some fantastic triathlon events taking place in Europe. Of particular note, Ironman 70.3 Staffordshire, the European Championships in Hamburg and a great favourite for first timers, Ironman Austria in the beautiful area of Karnten. We wish all of you a great experience at your chosen event! 👏
Do remember to check the exact timing for checking bikes out of transition at Ironman Austria, in advance. There was considerable confusion and upset in 2022 when the racking area closed before the late finishers were able to get their bikes. Instead, they had to turn up the next morning at 08:00 when it would be open (this did not happen on time!) - lots of unhappy Ironman finishers.
To help make your event easier, why not find out how Cycle Transfer can help? Head to our website to secure your slot for Etape du Tour Sportive in Annemasse, France. https://cycletransfer.co.uk/travel/etape-du-tour-sportive-2023/

This weekend saw us celebrate World Bicycle Day. 🚲 Here are some fun bike-related facts you might not know:
⭐Bikes were originally almost entirely made of wood, but their popularity faded due to the high number of accidents.
⭐In 1935, Fred A. Birchmore (25) became the first person to circle the globe by bicycle. He cycled 25,000 miles!
⭐The world's longest bike was 135 feet and won a Guinness World Record in 2015.
⭐Bikes don’t actually need riders! Amazingly, a bicycle can stay upright without a rider as long as it’s moving at 8mph or faster.
⭐In the Netherlands, 30 percent of all trips are on bicycle. Much higher than in the UK.

It finally feels like spring is on the way, so now is the perfect time to book your bike in for a service.
From gears and brakes, to chains and tyres, it’s always best to make sure your bike is in peak condition in advance of all your races this summer. ☀️
Do you like to maintain your bike yourself, or do you prefer to take it to a specialist company for a professional service? 🔧
