Flamme Rouge

Finish Line ~ Charly Gaul, LuxembourgWelcome to the flamme rouge website.  A coaching, development and support resource primarily for cyclists in the Channel Island of Jersey but read world wide by the magic of cyber space. 

Whether you're an Island Champion, a keen cyclist wanting to get fit for your first charity ride, or hoping to embark on a sportive or marathon endurance event, you may find something to help you right here.

Our testing programmes will allow you to measure and re-measure your fitness to attain an understanding of every training pedal rev you undertake.  Get instant feedback on what works and what doesn't. 

If you need guidance, direction or support in attaining your goals we can help.  From a 5 mile time trial to a 125 mile road race, sportive or even longer event,  we can draw up a structured coaching plan to guarantee improved performance.

Our concise factsheets give basic information, advice and guidance on how to improve your riding, through correct training, supportive nutrition strategies and adopting the correct mental attitude.

If coaching or training plans aren't your thing then take a look at our ever expanding Training Drills section.  Here we will place individual training drills and how they might help you attain the results you're after.  A pick and mix of pain!

The cyclosportives section speaks for itself.  It gives an account of the events I've done in the past and the ones I plan to do this year.  Hopefully it will inspire those of you that have yet to do one to take the plunge.  You won't regret it.

Don't keep doing the same things and expect different results.  Try something different, take a test, train to a plan and win some races.

Happy Riding.
