Radio Silence

August 18th, 2009

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.

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!

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.

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.

Snowed In & Going Underground

May 27th, 2009

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!!

* 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!

* 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!!!

Introducing The ‘WyndyMilla Lightning Seed’

May 12th, 2009

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!

WyndyMilla’s First Blog. . !

April 15th, 2009

copy-of-henri-maximuscle2STOP PRESS! Check out our bike review on  LondonCycleSport (Click on the main picture  of the review for some great ‘Big Geranium’ close up shots).

http://www.londoncyclesport.com/Showroom/Bikes/WyndyMilla_Bike_2009.html

 

Exciting times, finally WyndyMilla is blogging. It has already been a year in the making, but I have now made the bold move easing off the Personal Training throttle at The Firm to apply myself part time to the wild & wacky world of WyndyMilla.

So what’s new!?

Well first of all I have the time now to get the WyndyMilla website properly on its feet.  I’ll keep you posted, but look out for our webshop opening soon. We will be having a 2008 kit sale, shortly followed by our all new 2009 kit range. We will also be starting an E-Group so that members of the WyndyMilla familiy can chat; arrange rides, trips, social events and generally share their passion for everything bike. We hope you’ll jump on board!

WyndyMilla Bikes

The most exciting addition to WyndyMilla 2009, yes, we’re building our own bikes. At this years London Cycle Show, John Mullineaux of London Cycle Sport kindly pointed me in the direction of Graeme Freestone King of Velotech (British Cycling’s Man Who Can!).  Graeme has helped me perfect my bike building skills & forge all the right contacts. In short, helping us at WyndyMilla provide top end bikes at great prices by cutting out the dreadful middle man. .

We have 3 models in our range, all can be customised and fitted to order, and be carefully built by myself. Top end full carbon bikes 100% European build, with the technical know how of Dedacciai behind the frames, as used by Condor, Cube & Bianchi to name but a few.

Our top spec frame is the WyndyMilla ‘Big Geranium’ pictured below.

copy-of-big-geranium6We then have the WyndyMilla ‘Lightning Seed’which we can bring in on our best value build under the ‘Ride to Work Scheme’ threshold at £999. And lastly the WyndyMilla ‘Saw Doctor’ the ultimate time trial/triathlon bike. Lots more techy bike posts soon, in the mean time please get in touch if you’d like to talk WyndyMilla go-faster bike!

WyndyMilla Kit

All new kit for 2009.  WyndyMilla’s Elite wing is now the official test team for Charlie Cutler at Carvalho Custom . Over the past two years we have been helping Charlie improve his range of custom cycle kit. We now visit Charlie twice a year, and he implements our ideas to be tested by ‘WyndyMilla’ for one year before it goes into general production. The result! WyndyMilla has a truly unique range of cycle kit at the cutting edge of innovation. The Elite kit as modeled by myself & wife Nasima is pictured below, (Elite sponsors Maximuscle & Ben Whistler) . You will be able to get you hands on our unique retail ranges from May 09. . .

 

copy-of-img_72652Lastly, just to say, there is so much to tell you about, so watch this blog spot. . I’ll leave you with a picture of ‘WyndyMilla’ race action, sprinting to 6th place in the Wally Gimber spring classic.
