The Climbing Performance that got me my UCI Pro Cycling Team contract!

A climb in the shadow of the Tumble Mountain just a few km away is this, Llangynidr Mountain. In my opinion this climb is an absolute belter!

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.

Fantastic effort Ed 🚀 As been said the edit and overlays are super cool 👍 Keep strong with the training and sweating 😅💪

[@peterthomas8053]

I do hope that Ventoux is a goer, but, if not, then it can wait for another time. Although I'm not a hillclimber or hillclimber fan, I have become hooked on these videos of the training and intricate nature of preparing for this dicipline. I've come to realize that it's not all about 'go as fast as you can, for as long as you can'. Loving it.

[@srjone]

Was a pleasure to witness that first hand! Great ride Ed

[@jamiehogan1607]

360 camera is cool brings another dimension to the videos. Best of luck up ventoux, iconic climb regardless if it’s going for a max effort or not!

[@ForestCyclingAdventures]

Just a bit faster up there than me on my ebike for the video I made last week 😅 I think you went faster up than I did down!

[@JSC131]

Great job, Ed. Overlay looks great, BTW. What software are you using for the metrics?

[@ForestCyclingAdventures]

It's called Telemetry Overlay.

[@MagicshineLights]

🙌🙌🙌

[@degnerouZ]

I would like to know how does your weekly cycling routine look like, on average, including gym and cycling.

[@danielbech6206]

Follow his Strava - should give you an idea😊

[@stafgruglnioe5122]

Wow your heart rate dropped so quickly

[@w00t3r]

What do you use to get this overlay mate?

[@ForestCyclingAdventures]

It's called telemetry overlay. It's darn expensive but really the only option now Garmin virb doesn't work for most people.

[@julianallen515]

Which team did you sign with, Ed?

[@edlaverack]

Rapha Condor JLT

[@julianallen515]

@@edlaverack They reformed?

[@johnlewis17]

You wiggle your thumbs a lot.

[@edlaverack]

You are right. It’s like a stim. I think it’s also something that I do when I’m concentrating on an effort that’s flat out because I don’t do it in time trials, only towards the end when I’m going flat out. It’s like a comfort thing
