Evans Cycle Event

Brewin Dolphin hosted a fundraising evening with legendary cyclist, Sean Yates, at Evans Cycles (Brighton) last week.

There was a decent turnout for the event with the majority of the attendees being from Brighton Tri Club and Horsham Amphibians Triathlon.

The highlight of the evening was a Q&A session with Sean Yates. It was an interesting insight to the world of professional cycling with some good stories about Lance Armstrong, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome to name a few. 

When asked about what amateur cyclists could do to get faster Sean's top answers were lose a few pounds and train to improve power to weight ratio. He was also keen to recommend training by power and confirmed cycling had come a long way in the area of sports science.

All good stuff, made even better by a 10% discount on the night.

I noticed most of the Evans staff owned Brompton bikes. Since the event I have found myself investigating folding bikes and thinking how I could use one on my travels. Could be the next purchase via the Ride2Work scheme!
