Barclaycard's 'Health Street' exhibition at their Northampton HQ is now over!
What a great day we had at Barclaycard's Health Street exhibition!
There was lots of interest to understand that cycle coaching / training isn't just for elite athletes and you certainly don't have to be a ‘good’ cyclist to ‘deserve’ a coach. It's perfectly valid to be coached even when you are a complete novice and, I believe, achieving your first 50km ride, if you’ve been on the couch for the last 10 years, is just as valid a reason to be coached as trying ride 100 miles in 4 hours. In fact, I’d say it’s probably a better reason.
Lots of interest, too, in the bike fitting service. I think everyone who discussed riding 'admitted' that they suffered at least one of pins & needles, neck-aches, knee pain or saddle soreness. Bike fittings will certainly help to alleviate those discomforts!
36 people also took part in the competition to guess how many miles I have ridden in the last 10 years and win one of 3 great prizes. The answers ranged from 8000 miles to 330,000 but there was actually a draw for the second place prize, so a tie-break question has been sent. The 6 prize winnners will no doubt be collecting their discount codes very soon!
Thanks to all at Barclaycard, especially Jane Capps, Kelly Gamble, Lucy Owen and our business partner, Hotel Lungomare Cesenatico, for their contribution to the prizes.
