Cycle
ycling was the most amazing occupation to have. It was a dream to do it as a profession. You have to put yourself through a lot of physical pain on a daily basis, but you choose to do that because you love it. Cycling is also a sport which you can do until you’re an old man, and you can enjoy that. I’ve raced on two wheels as a profession all my life, but it’s lovely to be able to ride a bike now I’m retired just for the sheer enjoyment of it. Hopefully, if you’ve opened up Sport’s first cycling supplement, you choose to get on your bike – at whatever level you ride or compete – for the same reasons. You too might put yourself through the pain, but it comes down to the fact that you do it for the sheer enjoyment: because you love it.

Cycling was the most<br />
amazing occupation to<br />
have. It was a dream<br />
to do it as a profession.<br />
You have to put yourself<br />
through a lot of physical<br />
pain on a daily basis, but you choose to<br />
do that because you love it.<br />
Cycling is also a sport which you can<br />
do until you’re an old man, and you can<br />
enjoy that. I’ve raced on two wheels as a<br />
profession all my life, but it’s lovely to be<br />
able to ride a bike now I’m retired just for<br />
the sheer enjoyment of it.<br />
Hopefully, if you’ve opened up Sport’s<br />
first cycling supplement, you choose to<br />
get on your bike – at whatever level you<br />
ride or compete – for the same reasons.<br />
You too might put yourself through the<br />
pain, but it comes down to the fact that<br />
you do it for the sheer enjoyment:<br />
because you love it.<br />
This is about you and your bike. We’ve<br />
picked out a selection of new machines<br />
and kit to speed you on your way, as well<br />
as some of the best places to put your<br />
gear to good use, with some of the top<br />
rides in Britain and Europe. But we start,<br />
overleaf, with nutrition – and, more to<br />
the point, a nutrition strategy for a race<br />
day or a sportive to give yourself the<br />
best possible chance .<br />
So, I hope you enjoy Sport <strong>Cycle</strong>.<br />
And however long you choose to go<br />
on for, and however far you go, I hope<br />
you continue to do it because you<br />
love it.<br />
