Ben Whitehead gets 8th position for All terrain Cycles in Dudes of Hazard Enduro Race

"Over the weekend of the 16/17th November was the annual Dudes of Hazard 'this is enduro now' race. For the second year running it has been a sell out race with 350 riders. The race's popularity is down to a few factors. Awesome riding in the Scottish highlands, good organisation and really relaxed vibe and for this year Red Bull had sponsored the event with bucking broncos and dj for the evening entertainment.

I travelled up to the race with my friend Ben on the Friday night and shared a hostel with what seemed like every single employee from Hope technology. The weather was quite wet on the Saturday practice but cleared up come race day. I rode well but had a couple of small unschedualed dismounts on stage 3 which put me back into 8th place. I wasn't too upset though as I really came just to ride some quality tracks with some good friends and have a couple of off season beers.

Till next time "

All Terrain Cycles Maintenance Course Paid for Itself

I would just like to give you feed back in a course I have just completed that was run by a member of your staff ( Chris ). The course was well worth the money. Very well explained as although there were only four of us on in the room we all had a different level of understanding about our bikes and all were able to keep up and learn the things to avoid and to do that could help improve our bikes. This course has paid for its self as it has possibly saved me from buying a new cassette as when looking at my chain, I found it needed replacing. With out the course I would not have had the knowledge or the know how to do the  now simple job of changing a chain.. There were many things I found help full and although I fell had a good understanding if things before hand now feel that I would like to learn more and better my mechanical understanding of my bike. If your were to ever run a more advanced class I would be great full I you could let me know..  

Regards

I recently purchased my first road bike through All Terrain Cycles http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/ ahead of a charity cycle ride from Bristol to Bordeaux. I had done a lot of web based research and looked through lots of sites for the right bike at the right price, I found the price really competitive on ATC, plus the range of complimentary products and accessories was great. I called the office number to find out if they were happy to take payment from a company run cycle to work scheme, which they were. I then received constant updates from Natasha in the office, including confirmation that payment had been received, an update that the shoes I ordered were out of stock and a suggestion of a suitable alternative and confirmation that they had checked a garment before sending it out and had found a defect so they had contacted the manufacturer to send a replacement. The bike, and all of the other bits I ordered arrived safely with a courier the next day. I have nothing but good things to say about All Terrain Cycles and their staffs attention to detail and would highly recommend them. Now all I have to do is cycle 500 miles!

All Terrain Cycles are appointed Official UK Service and Demo Centre for Swiss Side Wheels

UK cyclists can now test, buy and service Swiss Side wheels at one of the UK’s biggest retail stores, All Terrain Cycles http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/
Zurich, Switzerland – November 20, 2013 - Swiss Side is very pleased to announce the formation of a partnership with All Terrain Cycles (ATC) establishing one of the UK’s largest cycling retail store as their official service center in the UK. Swiss Side customers can now go to ATC and test out Swiss Side products including the Matterhorn, Gotthard, Franc, Heidi, Heidi Shadow and St. Bernard wheels as well as make purchases and/or have their currently owned wheels serviced.

Swiss Side quite literally has incredible products at unbeatable prices. Swiss Side also uses Sapim spokes and Enduro bearings on all of their wheel sets.
Words From The Swiss Side Founders:
“We see it as an important step for our customers, that they have a brick and mortar location where they can see, test and purchase our products as well as having the confidence that there is a physical location where they can go for advice and service needs,” says George Cant, Design & Creative Director for Swiss Side. “We also believe in and want to support ‘the local bike shop’ as they are very important for cyclists and we feel it’s necessary that their place in the online sales market is not compromised.”
“From a technical standpoint, ATC is second to none. Their knowhow and workshop facilities are absolutely top level,” says Jean-Paul Ballard, Technical Director for Swiss Side. “It’s important for us as a brand, as well as our customers to know that for whatever issue may arise or basic servicing needs, their wheels are in good hands.”
Words From ATC:
“We know a thing or two about wheels at All Terrain,” Tony Booth, managing director for ATC. “Our history goes back to 1907, when we started as a general wheel builder repairing wheels for prams, cycles, motorbikes and agricultural machinery. Everything apparently had spoked wheels in 1907! We have been very impressed by the Swiss Sides wheel quality and value for money so its with great pleasure that we have been appointed the Swiss Side service agent for the UK. Apart from servicing wheels we also stock a full range of demo wheels so you can try before you buy.”

Tom Hopper gets 4th overall for All Terrain Cyles in Harriers vs Cyclists 2013

Tom Hopper gets 4th overall for All Terrain Cycles in Harriers v Cyclists 2013

 This is what he has to say about the race:

"I got 4th from 214 overall, 3rd cyclist. I was just over a minute behind the leading cyclist despite a crash and only having one brake from the start.

I got a running personal best yesterday in the Abbey Dash 10k-32:43 which earned me 107th from 9443. I took 1 minute and 18 seconds off my time from July. This shows a fair step up in my fitness over the 4months that've passed. I'm getting there now, it's coming back :-) Once the mtb season begins in March I'll have been back at it for a year, progression is coming along nicely :-)  "

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great effort Tom , but try and stay on the bike next time !
