A little about Ed….
Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider for one of the most successful British cycling teams in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and founded the on/offline cycling community, Backpedal. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [[e-mail]] for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many and flexible options to suit everyone!
Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This KZbin channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

[@ashleynunn5256]

Best of luck for sunday Ed 💪

[@stuartmclean3843]

Going to be a headwind apparently, if Feather stands for most of the climb you must have a aero advantage there into a headwind staying seated on your hoods

[@geoffturner9719]

Great effort Ed!!Thanks for the honesty in your vlogs.

[@StephanieLuff]

We’re all rooting for you!!

[@Bandyrobs1]

[@volkervoit]

This has been a great series to follow, good luck for Sunday Ed and thanks for sharing all the insights, really have the feeling I learned something about hillclimbing, the scene in UK and what makes it so popular and challenging. 🎉😊

[@bicivini]

Ed is climbing like a feather…just faster 😉 Go Ed!

[@RobinDS-m1g]

But then the Feather dropped a bomb on Sunday........ Ed's time would have won this any other year!!!

[@cwmitch2]

Good luck pal, Hopefully see you on Sunday.👍

[@rachaelmaxwell7042]

[@davidkennett2372]

Best of luck Ed, enthusiasm is contagious Good series to follow

[@Ealpcc]

Good luck Ed-back-burner-boost-mode🤘

[@jamiehogan1607]

Best of luck Ed! Loving the videos, inspiring stuff! Bring it home!!

[@DiaryofaRandonneur]

Been great watching this series and following your build up. Good luck ED!

[@anthonybennett6089]

Good luck Ed, hope you bring it home and complete the journey.

[@kennyroberts830]

Well they do say that it's the journey rather than the destination Ed & I've really enjoyed the journey however in this case the destination is ultimately what it's all about so I hope you get to arrive at the finish in first position, intending to be there to witness it & probably in typical Welsh weather which can only be to your advantage, very good luck my friend!

[@TheMashurst]

Been away working until today ED, so couldn't come and watch you on the event, but I was sure you were going to do it young man. So, I'm absolutely gutted that you didn't, especially given that I seen you gradually getting closer to AF over the preceding few weeks on events down here, especially those I've been riding at myself. But, the key thing for you now is to follow you're own advice and not let it get to you. Easier said, I know, but it's true. We are all here for you and will continue to follow your progress avidly and hopefully see you come back next year even fitter to smash it out of sight. Stay strong Mate, and we all want to see your video later this week, to see your expert analysis of the event and your figures. Ride on!

[@lisawooldridge5449]

All the best for Sunday, it's been great to be on the journey with you, go and smash it!

[@johnmaritaodonnell6493]

Ou look very relaxed compared to last yearED, feel your confidence is high good to see , best of luck🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@stevieg2369]

You have trained exceptionally hard mate,good luck,I don't have Instagram is there anywhere else to watch it.

[@ColdDarkNorth.]

Looking forward to it Ed. Cowbells ready! 🐮🛎️🙏

[@briancooney2372]

Good luck Sunday Ed, no problem to you💪, with those g8 insoles you can't go wrong 🧐

[@peterthomas8053]

Good luck on Sunday Ed, in fact, I wish you no bad luck. Then I think that all your prep will give you an amazing ride.👍 On your quote about ' 30sec intervals', you said "1 min gaps are that much bigger". In fact, They are twice as big.😜😉😂

[@johnb0101]

Good luck Ed, I hope to be there to cheer you on!

[@marccale9890]

Good luck Ed! It's been a great series.

[@reecedawson6113]

I like the shirt, good luck. I hope the weather is kind to you

[@jamiemac202]

Good luck Ed. Fantastic story so far. Hoping you get the well deserved ending.

[@MoonGenesis1]

We will be cheering for you, even if not present ✨️🥰

[@cyclopath9491]

Go for it Ed 🙂

[@SimonJenkinsjinxsi]

My favourite EL video so far. Just DO IT.... Go Ed....

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

good luck Ed - thank you so much for bringing us all (me, an old racer too!!) along on your journey. don't leave anything in the tank!! just one question, any climbs in South Wales that closely resemble the Struggle? just so I can get my head round it all :-)

[@sarah-janelowrie2571]

Go well fella

[@jonathanbrown4186]

Good luck Ed! I have a feeling you might be starting last next year.

[@NeilXDavis]

Good luck Ed 💪. Have GCN asked you to join a KOM hunters vid yet?, and if not are they mad? 😊

[@derekevans1932]

Go Well Ed and the same to the Backpedal Team. If it warrants it could you also talk about how the team did as well in your post race video. I'm sure that you might have a few words with Geoff from Minehead, and if you do meet up, as you did see him in one of your previous races this year, you might want to say hello to Geoff Pickin who I believe is the person who has to ride with his hands as a disabled rider.

[@stevenfreeman7798]

Come on Ed!!! You can do it!!.

[@emyrgriffiths2134]

AMDANI💥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@thefairweathercyclist6521]

Best of luck Ed. Bring it back to Wales son

[@stuartmclean3843]

I think Elevate will be doing coverage

[@benkirby90]

The ‘current British champion’ or ‘he who must not be named’ (or risk demonetising)

[@darrenmoore5797]

Good luck Ed

[@davestewartDWCC]

Never seen you so confident Ed..I hope everything goes ok on the day #EDMODE

[@n22pdf]

Good luck Ed smash it dude 😊 🚴🏻🚴🏻🥇Pete

[@kswissu72]

Bring the title home to the land of our fathers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@matskelton9589]

💪 Ed

[@iancrichton]

Hope you're ok ED, haven't seen your 2023 champs hill climb video.?

[@edlaverack]

It needs a lot of editing

[@daryltill70]

Smash it Ed

[@thejonesy01]

Pob lwc Ed

[@goonzjav]

Unlucky buddy. Bit of a ungracious loser though? Didn’t even clap or congratulate Feather on the podium.

[@edlaverack]

I was far far away in that moment. It wasn’t until I saw it back that I realised how I looked, I can’t change that. When the crowds had gone and things had settled I had some good moments with Andy personally afterwards. It seems like on the podium I wasn’t myself and it wasn’t until everything had settled was I able to think clearly.

[@Chris-dw3xl]

Good luck dude 💪👍
