Hello Moon - look at you!

84km and 2409m of climb sounds like a tough day - but it looks like the guys had a good time 🙂

I'm just looking at you, looking at me looking at you. But you is mighty fine!!
Peaky Hikers awayday to La Trapa. The weather good have been a bit better and La Trapa was a bit underwhelming. But a Peaky Hike is always a grand day out!
.
Come on one of our training camps and we will work you hard. Of that there is no doubt. But the smiles are still there. This is just day 1!
Rest well Team, there's plenty more to come 🙂

Busy into the night, working under the stars getting our new team support vehicle ready for a new Camp tomorrow...

I've hung one of my photos on the wall. Taken during the Challenge Mallorca races in January although you'd think it was the middle of summer here as the head down towards Cuber.

In a world full of Covid I've managed to go old school with a dose of man-flu. It's been over a week now. I'm SO done with the lethargy and sh*teocity. Come back energy! I miss you!!
New wheel day for one lucky customer!
New Hoops How's that for a great looking set of carbon hoops! Just set up John's Parlee with these beauties from https://www.huntbikewheels.com/ Definitely suffering from wheel envy right now. 36mm deep, 26mm wide, less than 1300g - Impressive!
Tap, tap, tapping Had to get some proper tools out today to fix a bad thread in a rear mech. Something strangely satisfying about taking something that just won't screw in and making it free and easy...feels like engineering 🙂
Sublime Cervelo OK - I've mastered the cable runs on Gary's Cervelo S5 at last. New Dura Ace Gear Cables all the way through. I love this bike - its a pure out and out racer - super light weight, Dura Ace all the way through and - when its clean - what a looker! It got a full valet to get it looking like this - ple...
"Paul, having finally had the chance to try out my MTB I'm just checking in to thank you again for the great job you've done. I can't remember when it last went so well. I really appreciate your efforts. Cheers Lee"
Always nice to get unsolicited feedback like this. Makes all the difference. Thanks Lee 👍
Last Mallorca ride, the day lockdown kicked in This year was going to be the year I did the Mallorca 312 - just the 'little' 168km route - but enough for me that's for sure. But as Covid19 started to get a grip on Spain I got to thinking that maybe it would get cancelled, but it was Saturday, my day off and restrictions were not going to be brou...
Covid Update Swabes Cycle Services has been dormant for two and a half years while I have been working as a bike mechanic in Mallorca. The virus brought me back the UK at very short notice.
