Our first TEHCC Zwift Practice Ride is ready! 💛🩷🖤

⏰ 6:30pm start
🚴 10 miles / approx. 30 mins
🔗 Banded ride — NOBODY GETS DROPPED!

This is NOT a race. It’s a friendly practice ride designed to show you how our Tuesday night races work without worrying about keeping up.

While we ride I’ll be messaging on screen explaining:

⚡ The different data you’re seeing
💨 Drafting
⚡ PowerUps
🚲 Bike choice
🏁 Race starts
🧠 Positioning & tactics
❓ Plus anything else you want to know!

📲 HOW TO JOIN

On the night, get onto Zwift and start warming up 10–15 minutes before 6:30pm. Around 5 minutes before the start, Zwift will prompt you to go to the event — just let it take you to the start line and I’ll take it from there. 👍

Late Join is ON, but as we’re only riding for around 30 minutes, try to join from the start.

Never raced before? Perfect — this ride is for you. 🙌

🚴‍♂️💻 ZWIFT PRACTICE RIDE — NEW TO ZWIFT OR RACING?

Following the interest in our Tuesday night Zwift racing, I’ve now set up our first TEHCC Zwift Practice Ride! 💛🩷🖤

This is aimed at anyone who is new to Zwift, new to racing, a little nervous about joining one of our Tuesday races, or simply wants to understand how it all works.

📅 Tuesday
⏰ 6:30pm start
🚴 10 miles — approximately 30 minutes
🔗 Banded ride — NOBODY GETS DROPPED!

It doesn’t matter how hard or easy you pedal. The Zwift band/software will keep us together, so there’s absolutely no pressure to keep up.

While we ride, I’ll be writing messages on screen explaining what’s happening and covering things like:

⚡ What the different on-screen data means
💨 Drafting and how to use it
⚡ PowerUps and when to use them
🚲 Bike/wheel choice
👥 Positioning in the bunch
🏁 Race starts and what to expect
🧠 Some of the tactics we use in our Tuesday races

This is NOT a race. It’s an easy, friendly ride where you can learn how everything works and hopefully build the confidence to join us for a race in the future. 💪🏻

📲 HOW TO JOIN

First, make sure you have the Zwift Companion App downloaded on your phone.

Then click the event link below:

https://www.zwift.com/events/view/5734483

This should take you into the Companion App. You’ll see an orange square with a white + — click it to join the event. Once you’ve joined, it should show a green tick. ✅

⏰ ON THE NIGHT

Get yourself onto Zwift and start warming up around 10–15 minutes before our 6:30pm start.

With roughly 5 minutes to go, Zwift will display an on-screen prompt to take you to the event start line. Just let the software take you there.

Once we’re together at the start, I’ll take over and begin putting messages on screen explaining what we’re doing and what to look for.

Late Join is ON, so if something goes wrong or you’re running late, you can still join the event for up to 30 minutes after the start. However, the whole ride should only take around 30 minutes, so try to get in as early as possible! 😆

Don’t worry if you’ve never done anything like this before — that’s exactly who this ride is for. If you have any questions or need any help please just ask, that’s what I’ve set this up for 👍

Get your turbo set up, join the event and come and learn with us. 🚴‍♂️💻

🚀 NEXT SEASON’S TRIATHLON PREPARATION STARTS NOW!

Thinking about your first TT/triathlon bike? Don’t leave it until the New Year. Buying the bike is only the beginning…

A TT bike feels very different from a road bike. Getting comfortable and confident in the aero position takes time:

🔧 Get fitted
🚴 Ride it on your home trainer
🔄 Tweak the fit
🚴 Ride it again!

You don’t need to head outside in winter to get race ready. Your home trainer is the perfect place to dial in your position and gradually build up the time you can comfortably spend on the aero bars.

Leave buying until the New Year and that first race can come around surprisingly quickly. That’s why you see so many triathletes sitting up on the base bars — they haven’t had enough time to adapt to their bike and position.

Buying now also gives you a better chance of securing the bike, spec and size you actually want. 👌

We’ve got two Argon 18 E117 Shimano 105 Di2 bikes in store and ready to go:

🔎 Check out the full details on our website:

💙 XS — Hypershift Blueberry/Silver

🖤 Small — Stealth Black
https://www.theendurancehub.co.uk/2025-argon-18-e117-shimano-105-di2-in-stealth-black

Get the bike now. Get comfortable over winter. Get racing next season.

Pop into The Endurance Hub or get in touch to find out more. 🏊🚴🏃

This is only going to get worse as more and more bike shops close down. Luckily for our customers we’re still here to service and repair their bikes and for bike and accessories sales.

Want a job? Know how to fix a bike? Then you might be in luck.

A brand new report suggests that Europe is suffering from a dearth of bike mechanics, with 105,000 new ones needed by 2032 to meet demand and prevent people abandoning their bikes.

Published by NextGen Mechanics initiative and European Cycling Industries (ECI), the report says the shortage is already reportedly changing how people travel. It also draws on Shimano's State of the Nation 2026 survey of 25,000 respondents, which found that 212 million people across Europe experience barriers to maintaining their bikes.

Of those, 121 million cycle less as a result, and 7.6 million have stopped cycling altogether.
