After the Cape Epic, Sally returned to the UK – hoping for some nice spring weather, but getting snow and rain instead! 

Had a 200km event consisting predominantly of gravel forest tracks been suggested a few years back many people would have laughed, yet there was TORQ Fuelled Josh Ibbett at 7am, lining up for the start of the Dirty Reiver…     Gravel riding is now very much on trend and the ‘non-competitive challenge’ that is the Dirty Reiver, which recently took place in and around the Kielder Forest, had over 200 entrants, the vast majority of them lined up on wholly inappropriate bikes! 

Ultra Endurance Cyclist, Josh Ibbett, famous for winning the gruelling Transcontinental Race 2015, during which he covered 2,600 Miles in under 10 days, on less than 3 hours sleep a night, returns as TORQ Ambassador. 

Joe recently featured on the front cover of 220 Triathlon Magazine and in a Q and A article told readers about his inspiration, motivation and training. 

Ironman athlete Joe Skipper cycled, swam and ran his way to a stunning Silver in just 8:09:37 at Taupo, New Zealand…     Competing against a field of tough, quality rivals, Joe fought his way through to a well earned Silver Medal, spurred on by not only the need to push himself as hard as he possibly could regardless of the pain, but also the thought of a few dollars more! 

When first offered the chance to join a friend in Mallorca for 6 days of training, Kate was reluctant, not wanting to disrupt her training and work too much with travel. 

With over 330m of climbing on each 11 mile lap, the Buxton Mountain Time Trial was always going to be a real test of how well Mark’s winter training had (or had not) gone.  

After racing 800km and climbing 15,000 metres on the beautiful trails of the Western Cape, South Africa, TORQ Fuelled Sally Bigham and team mate, Adelheid Morath (GER), crossed the finish line at the stunning Meerendal Wine Estate on Sunday. 

The South Downs Double is one of the best known off-road endurance mountain bike challenges in the UK, a demanding challenge at the best of times, 200 miles and 7743 metres of climb, but Matt decided to tackle it during a windy, muddy February.  

Kate jumped at the offer to spend a week in Southern Spain last winter, at her first official training camp and was looking forward to immersing herself completely in sport. 

Having turned pro just six months ago, Kimberley travelled to Buenos Aires for the first race of 2016 to claim Gold at the Iron man 70.3…

Kimberley chose this early season race to keep check on training and, being strong at flat Time Trials on the bike, the Argentine climb of 27m over 90km suiting her well. Up 

Having won the Andalucía Bike Race  in 2011, 2012 and 2013, it was no secret that Sally was excited at the prospect of winning a fourth time.
