Bit of a praise post here for Mrs Pure Performance - she completed the yesterday, her second 10k of the year and did herself proud. After having our daughter in January, I’m so proud of how she’s been able to train for events while juggling the demands of being a new mum, keeping on top of her rheumatoid arthritis and life in general. She continues to inspire me and make me proud everyday. Well done you 💪

Apologies in advance if this turns into a rant. As we come to the end of another year, there seems to be quite a lot to reflect on, especially in terms of mtb and my own particular involvement in it.
The bike industry is in a huge state of change, some would say it’s firmly on its backside. Prices are rising, race teams are folding and it all seems to be a bit of a gloomy state of affairs with not much sign of an upturn in fortunes anytime soon. In general life people are struggling to afford basic living essentials and so how can they be expected to pay for overpriced shiny must haves?
A question that I’m keen to put out there is: what would you realistically pay for a days mtb coaching in the current climate? I’m busy trying to sort dates, venues etc for 2024 days, but honestly, if the numbers don’t work then it won’t be happening. That’s a sad truth now that needs to be addressed. In the 12 years I’ve been coaching, this is a real low point.
Please comment with your answer, it’ll be interesting to see what people think 👍

Appreciation post alert: Today is a proud day for myself and also for Mrs Pure Performance - she started running about 5 months ago as a way to help keep her Rheumatoid Arthritis under control, and today she completed her first 10k (including one foot swelling at around 4 miles). in 1 hour 1 minute. Couldn’t be prouder of her today, especially with all the issues she faces with her condition. Apparently it’s a half marathon next!!!!! 👍💪❤️

Well that’s my riding challenge done now for Asthma & Lung UK. Ended up doing 341 miles instead of 300 but it was good fun. Thanks to everyone that donated, really appreciate it 👍

Those of you that know me are aware that I live with Bronchiectasis and basically have one working lung. You’ll also know that I like a challenge. So, do you want to support those who struggle to breathe and help me raise vital funds for lung research? Just £22 could go towards Health Care Advisors and Respiratory Specialists supporting one person with the information they need to live well. I will be cycling 300 miles throughout July, so any support would be fantastic!

This lot certainly do a good job of keeping me honest. The crew are getting faster every week. Some good speed here from Ben & 👍💪 on their way to getting as smooth as (that’s the goal)! I’m very lucky to have such a good group of riders, plenty of laughs and some great trails. If you’re around the Manchester area and want to join the fun, get in touch 😄
