Henry and Tiny have recently returned from a whistle stop tour of all the guys and gals that make up the WyndyMilla Italian connection and they’ve come back bursting with exciting news about all the new WyndyMilla developments.

First port of call was our husband and wife bike building duo of Diego and Romina who were brimming over with delight to show off the new developments to the Saw Doctor time trial frame. They’ve spent hours painstaking routing the cables internally so that they don’t see the light of day till the very last moment. Next on the Furniss’ meeting list was our painter Luigi where the Saw Doctor frame is being painted in an eye popping shade of go faster yellow in readiness for its grand debut at the Cycle Show on the 8th October.

Sandra's Clothing Workshop

Final port of call was with our clothing fairy godmother Sandra. Henry and Nasima spent most of the day meticulous designing and testing a number of options for our future clothing ranges. They’re very pleased to announce the launch of a range of winter jackets and tights. More excitingly, Tiny has meticulously designed an amazing pair of a female specific three quarter length shorts that will also be available soon after the show. Finally, for all you multisport addicts out there, we’ll be debuting the production version of our tri suit that you may have seen Stephen Thompson campaigning in this season.

No Snow for Wyndymilla in Lanzarote.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
blog11

Luke (baby Schleck), Phil, Charles, Henry

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

2010

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

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!..!

WyndyMilla Winter Sun

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

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!

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!

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. .

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.

Cycle Fitting Studio

Monday, September 7th, 2009

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

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.

WyndyMilla HQ

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

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. . !

Measurment Jig

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

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
