Flamme Rouge
Welcome to the
flamme rouge
website. A coaching, development and support resource, delivered
from Jersey, to cyclists the world over by the magic of cyber
space and the interweb.
Whether you're a local champion, a keen cyclist
getting ready for a charity ride, or hoping to embark on a sportive or marathon endurance
event, you'll probably find something to help you within our pages.
Our
Performance Evaluation Services
allow you to assess and re-assess your fitness levels on a
regular basis. Attain an
understanding of every training pedal rev you undertake by spending 90
minutes in our lab. Get
real-time
feedback on what training works for you and, more importantly, what doesn't.
If you need guidance, direction
or support in attaining your sporting goals we have an athlete's tool box
that can help you achieve your objective. From a five mile time
trial, to a century road race, sportive or a multi-stage, multi-day event, our
Weekend Warrior Performance
Plan will guarantee improved performance and a successful
outcome for just £10 per month.
If personalised coaching or training plans aren't your thing, then take a
look at our ever expanding
Training Drills
section. Here we will place our individual turbo and road training drills and
explain how you can use them to help you attain the results you're after. Your very own,
free of charge, pick and
mix of pain!
Our (sometimes) concise
Factsheets give real-world information, advice and guidance on how to improve your riding, through
correct training methodologies, supportive nutrition strategies and adopting the correct
mental attitude. Some are more technical than others but all will
help you become a fitter, faster, stronger rider.

The Cyclosportives
section speaks for itself. It gives an account of the European events
we've
competed in since 2003 and the ones we plan to do in the coming season. Hopefully it
will inspire those of you that have yet to take the plunge to give them a
go.
I promise you, you'll never regret tackling one and will
only kick yourself for not trying them sooner.
Don't keep
trying the same training routines and expect them to produce different
results. You can't just do more of what you previously did, or do it harder
or for longer, and expect a better performance. At best you'll
just feel more tired!
If you're travelling a well
trodden path then it isn't your path; it's someone else's! Try something different,
try something new, train to a plan and
win some races. What's the worst that can happen?
Be Good, Ride Hard, Suffer Well...
