    According to this month’s MBR rider poll, 3 out of 4 Mountain Bikers are using TORQ bar…

    At last month’s National Points Series Mountain Bike event at Thetford forest (Norfolk), MBR magazine grabbed 4 riders at random and questioned them. One of the questions was ‘What do you eat before and during an event?’ and 3 of the 4 riders mentioned ‘TORQ bar’ by name (see below).

    A couple of weeks have passed since the TORQ riders (and practically every other Mountain Biker in the UK) visited Margam Park, Wales for the National Mountain Bike Marathon Championships. As well as the championship event, there was also an ‘Open’ category for riders not in possession of a valid British Cycling racing licence. The distance – 100k, all off road, 4 times around a demanding 25k loop. There were 25 and 50k options too, for the less accomplished, so something for everyone. It was hot by the way!

    I just wanted to post a quick couple of lines to congratulate the London 2012 Olympic committee for their fabulous and professional campaign. Spearheaded by my childhood hero Seb Coe, I have no doubt in my mind that it was the professionalism, enthusiasm and character of those involved that managed to secure us the venue. I am really excited about the games and for the opportunities and motivation it provides for today’s young generation of athletes.
