Fiandre on Holiday – The Weather Forecast Becomes Obsolete

It’s probably every cyclist’s worst nightmare and no doubt any holiday maker, seeking winter sunshine and warmth…. A forecast that shows heavy rain and inclement weather… Hearts and heads set on soaking up some rays would be met with rain-drenched weather… The sunshine state of California had seen months of warm, dry, winter weather until …

The mid-week adventure

Longer days lend themselves to the mid-week adventure; now the sun doesn’t drop until late into the evening, escapism via the bike is not just for the weekend. The lesser road travelled, the so-called “short cut” is always the first choice, if it’s an overgrown dirt track, then so much the better… While a disc …

Northern California – Bikes, beers, burritos & BodyFit

Northern California seemingly has it all…. Preconceptions of multi-lane highways with congested traffic fade quickly when scenic, single lane roads are discovered. Twisty, off cambered bends, dive off the side of the hillside… the roads are non-uniformed making it all the more fun. Steep gradients lead to high-speed descents… The scent of eucalyptus is in …

Tinkoff Saxo & the Fiandre Jackets

We didn’t make the Fiandre jacket specifically for Tinkoff Saxo but when they tried it they knew they had to have it… Their first real test of the Fiandre Light WS jacket came on at the Giro d’Italia in the horrendous conditions that the riders faced as they scaled both the Stelvio and Gavia.
