About the chaps

Stef and Phil have a long cycling history. Both of them, aged around four and four and a half respectively, were able to pedal along without so much as a stabilising wheel to be seen. By six Stef had pulled his first wheelie and by seven Phil had 'Evil Knieveled' over a row of four corgi buses, crushing the fifth. Paper rounds came and went and in teenage years mountain bikes became the norm with occasional forays into obscenely bright lycra. And then it was in the summer of 2012 inspired by the exploits of Wiggins and co that the door to the world of road cycling was opened. Stef fits the MAMIL (middle aged man in lycra)  tag very well. Phil, ten years his junior, just fits his lycra well and it was from this time on that they have bored friends and colleagues alike with tails of weekend rides and Strava stats. 
Here are the boys in action.

Time to reflect at the Olympic Park

Training hard at work.
