Hi Everyone,

It’s been a busy summer here at WyndyMilla as we push towards our official press launch at the Cycle Show at Earls Court from the 7th to the 10th of October. We do hope you’ll have time to come visit our stand (B8). .

New Kit in the Extended Shop

We’ve also extended the shop which has given us almost double the original space to play with. So now we have a dedicated room for bike fitting and a separate showroom for all the lovely new bikes. So if you get a chance, pop in and have look at the place. 

Two new faces have joined Henry and Scott. Matt Wakeford is our new part time mechanic and Ben Hallam is pushing the WyndyMilla bike fitting to a new level as well as offering biomechanical analysis, sports massage and injury rehab. 

New Mechanic Matt Hard at Work

The test team have been hammering the prototype bikes up and down the country collecting a number of wins including a divisional championship. The full production models are now ready to roll, you can check out the bike page of the new website for the pictures.

Hi to everyone, team Wyndymilla started off the year in style by hitting Club La Santa in Lanzarote for some sunshine cycling. My first visit to the island and it won’t be my last!! Not really knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised to be riding in short sleeves and shorts every day, with two groups meeting up for body fat checks first thing every other day and then riding out of La Santa all abilities very catered for, riding was fun and sometimes hard but really does make a huge difference to start the year off like this. Back in the UK (you may remember) was snow, snow and more snow (so we were told…) so made it even more enjoyable.

Everyone who came is now part of the Wyndymilla family and having met some of you for the first time I look forward to seeing you again next January.

Anyone who likes the idea of a winter training camp, riding your bikes but also getting vital training/nutritional/recovery advice with Wyndymilla keep a look out for details on next years trip coming soon.

See everyone soon, Scott

Hi to you, the Wyndymilla followers. 2010 is a new year and although we are almost into March welcome to the new updated blog. You should find the page updated more regularly now due to everyone finally settling in at the new hq in Seale, Surrey. For anyone who has not been to Wyndymilla hq feel free to pop along anytime to talk about your cycling goals for the coming season. Someone from the the mob will be here to pass on some advice or if you just want a chat.

Keep checking for further info on upcoming dates and events taking place. We have all been very busy since January so lots to come. See you all soon and keep your training up, its almost race time!..!

Scott

Hi Everyone,

It’s getting cold isn’t it!? Yes, I actually had to scrape ice off my windscreen yesterday. . The thought of neoprene overshoes and full length gloves looms frighteningly close. Hells bells, you may even have to get the Turbo out, eeer yuk!

OK, now stop that!! None of that modern SAD thingy wotsit at WyndyMilla - NO!  Lets have something to look forward to, a stepping stone in the bleak mid winter - The 2010 WyndyMilla Winter Training Camp to Club La Santa, Lanzarote comes to the rescue.

Lanzarote Jan 2009 24 degrees!

So I’ll put you in the picture;

* Club La Santa, is a purpose built complex for active people, I’ve lost count of how many times I have been, it is a real home from home.  There is a running track, gym, tennis courts, 50m pool, leisure pool, supermarket, restaurants, perfect training terrain etc etc etc.

* It’s a bit last minute dot com, but we’re thinking about going from the 7th to 21st Jan 2010.  23 degree heat, quiet roads, and only a 3hr 45 flight away. It will boost your endurance to a level it has never been before.

* Our plan; if you want to start 2010 with a bang, and strip off back down to jersey & shorts, we’re offering structured training for a full two weeks if you’re keen, or part thereof.  It is very much a trip for all levels, with Nasima heading up rides just for the girls.

Club La Santa

* The apartments at Club La Santa are no frills, but clean & efficiently run. Jensen Button, Colin Jackson & James Cracknell amongst many others cope every year so I think we’ll survive. They start from about £615 for a week, for economy it is possible to share 3 ways - we can match you up! Flights if you book now are about £100. So it could be around £300 all in if you share.

* Booking is through Sports Tours, although you will normally find the best flights if you search yourself. Best to get in touch with us if you are interested and we can sort the booking for you.

Lanzarote 2007, Lovely view!

* The riding is great, good road surfaces, real diversity and all the Brits that earn Lanzarote it’s unfair nickname ‘Grotty’, are bused into two resorts on the other side of the island, so the roads are very very quiet.

* I promise, after a week in Lanzarote you will come back fit, lean, suntanned & ready to take on the world. What a refreshing state to return from a holiday in!

* We are offering guided rides, training & nutritional advice to members of the WyndyMilla family at all levels. Remember, we have no membership fee, to be a part of the club, you simply have to fly the flag & wear our ‘New Skool’ kit. WM training at Club La Santa is free if you own a WM bike, £100 per week if you own WM kit, or £150per week if you are strangely devoid of WM bling! POA for 2 weeks. .

Club La Santa in the distance

Please feel free to call or email if you think you may be in anyway interested. Club La Santa is great fun & the perfect spot to rub shoulders with lots of other like minded folk & athletes from recreational to top international pros. I hope you will join us.

In the meantime, bumping back down to earth, our winter kit will arrive on October 28th, and we are all set for cyclefitting should you want to improve you set-up. Would love to see you, I promise all cyclefits involve cake.

Embrace the cold and keep on riding!! Look out for our next blog on Club Rides.

Hello from ‘WyndyMilla’,

Don’t get down, it may be Monday, but the summer is not over yet! And anyway, maybe, it’s time to start focusing on the big goals for 2010. .

So how about this!? The new ‘WyndyMilla’ workshop & cycle fit studio has opened it’s doors. The studio also doubles up as a nerve center for the ‘WyndyMilla’ club, and a test center for our custom bikes & kit. . .

A work in progress

Why not take a positive first step for 2010 and get that bike position sorted out! Here’s the deal, until Nasima & I have become total cycle fit aficionado’s, we are offering an introductory rate of £80 ending November.

Taking shape!

The fitting will take 2-3 hours and can be customised for any type of bike/rider. It would be great to see you, think about it, a morning or afternoon off work, just to focus on you; your bike, your training, your nutrition and a new faster finely tuned animal for 2010! Uniquely, our cycle fits include road testing in the Surrey hills, with optional tea & cake stop of course.

WyndyMilla HQ

We are using the state of the art Bikefitting.com system which enables us to take precise measurements whilst also being able to apply our own touches to the final set-up, (hence road testing). In short we are offering simple no nonsense cycle fitting at an affordable price. Bikefitting is a pretty neat system, the software is constantly updated so we can even input the exact thickness of the sole of your bike shoe. . !

Measurement Jig

It goes with out saying that we also apply our years of Personal Training & Nutrition from ‘The Firm PT’ to the equation, so you come away cycle fitted, re trained & nutrionally focused. . . It can all add up to quite a difference on the road.

Position Simulator

As always, we are trying to encourage a regualar crowd to ride out at 9am from outside The Cafe, Roehampton Gate, Richmond Park on Sunday mornings, so we hope you can make it sometime soon.

Please let us know if you’re coming, by logging on and joining the ‘WyndyMilla’ egroup http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/WyndyMilla/  it only takes 5mins and is the ‘WyndyMilla’ noticboard, also it’s the place to get to know other members of the ‘WyndyMilla’ family.

There are still some great reductions on 2008 kit on our webshop http://www.wyndymilla.com/eshop/

In the meantime ‘Keep on riding’ and if you want to come cycle fitting or just to check out some bling, drop us an email,

Henry

PS: Look out for our next blog about a ‘WyndyMilla’ winter training camp in the Lanzarote sun!

Hello Everyone from the crew at  ‘WyndyMilla’,

You may have noticed that the ‘WyndyMilla’ machine has been uncharacteristically silent for the last few weeks. Don’t worry though, whilst most of Britain has been on the annual mass exodus to the sun, ‘WyndyMilla’ has quietly been putting its infrastructure in place. . . The Result? With renewed vigor, we can now deliver a great WM Club, WM Cycle Fitting, WM training & great value WM custom bikes & kit.

So what’s new!?

* ‘WyndyMilla’ at the 2009 London Triathlon Expo:

Yes, WM was turning heads exhibiting on the Maximuscle stand at this years tri show.

WM Bike Porn - Tri Expo 09

Our custom bling turned out to be quite a talking point, especially our female version of the ‘Lightning Seed’ in WM pink. It has helped put WM firmly on the triathlon radar, attracting many new fellow bike enthusiasts to the WM family.

* L’Etape du Tour in the New ‘WyndyMilla’ van.

Well done to everyone flying the WM flag at this years Etape. We headed down to support & ride in the new logo’d up WM van.

The understated WM van!

A great trip was had by all, even though the loo in the Winnebago took such a beating it got blocked. One member was forced to ride with passengers, (not recommended!). All I can say is that nobody bigged up the Ventoux enough, it was a pig!

* WyndyMilla Cycle Fitting Studio & nerve center:

Our long awaited WM Cycle Fitting Studio was finally finished on Monday this week. With quite a solid hit of bookings taken at the tri expo it’s been just in time! We will post more details about this in our next blog. In the mean time, please contact us if you would like to book in. themob@wyndymilla.com

* WyndyMilla E-Shop:

Finally our shop is up at http://www.wyndymilla.com/eshop/ whilst the shop is in its test phase, it is only 2008 sale items. There are some good bargains on what is left of the 2008 kit, so happy shopping. The new look 2009 items will be added shortly. Again, contact us in the meantime if you would like 2009 kit.

New Sleeveless Bike/Tri Top 09

So that’s it for now, looking forward to seeing some of you out on our Sunday rides - 9am roll out, outside The Cafe, Roehampton Gate, Richmond Park.

Hi Everyone,

Well I’m looking out the window and it’s raining - the perfect time to write a blog!

First things first, it’s great to see so many of you signing up to the Egroup, (WyndyMilla’s noticeboard). From June 1st it will be the sole form of WyndyMilla Club communication, so please jump on board. It takes 5 minutes and then you are able to arrange rides, social events, trips or get training advice with all other WyndyMillites at the touch of a button.

http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/WyndyMilla/

So what else is new!?

*Going UnderGround: Look out for WyndyMilla in a tube ad over the next few weeks. I’ll be stood next to Shane Williams,  in the latest Maximuscle campaign. He’s slightly out of my sporting league as captain of The British Lions. . I guess that is why HSBC stays on his shirt, & WyndyMilla is airbrushed from mine in the final ad- boo!!

Maximuscle Shoot - London Underground

* Snowed In: We had a great WyndyMilla May bank holiday trip to the Pyreness - 3 days 300miles. As you will see my ‘Big Geranium’ got stuck in the snow as we tried in vain to climb above 2000m!

One 'Big Geranium' One snowy hairpin!

* Country Cottage: Nasima, Dalilah, the chickens & I are moving house at the weekend. Exciting times, not least because we will have a new WyndyMilla nerve center. It will be the WyndyMilla office/gym/bike fitting & test centre. Set at the end of a bumpy track in the middle of the Surrey countryside, we look forward to lots of visits to our go-faster one stop shop. The coffee pot & celery cake will be at the ready - all welcome

* WyndyMilla 2009 kit is due to arrive in the next week or so, will keep you closely posted, it will be available on our web shop, also up in a week or so. I will fire out a link as soon as. . .

Lastly, we had a great club ride out into the Surrey hills on Sunday. We certainly turned a few heads as the WyndyMilla posse of guys & girls rolled out in a wide spectrum of WyndyMilla kit ‘n’ colours and a couple of very very shiny matching bikes. I hope lots more of you will join us soon. Sundays, 9am roll out, The Cafe, Roehampton Gate, Richmond Park.

Don’t forget to join the Egroup - that way we’ll all know who’s coming!! Yay!!!

Hello Everyone,

So here it is, the ‘WyndyMilla Lightning Seed’. Custom built by myself, and pantone matched to our vibrant ‘WyndyMilla’ clothing colours - ‘The Lightning Seed’ is an amazing ride, it looks and handles like a million dollars - a far throw from its starting price of £999.

Like the ‘Big Geranium’, it is a completely European built bike, & quite unlike anything else out there. . Wanna be one of the Smartest Carrots in the ‘WyndyMilla’ family!? Give us a shout themob@wyndymilla.com  - you can join Nasima or myself any time you like if you want to go for a spin on a test bike, we’ll look forward to it!
