“I think the ride of professional female cycling is really helping inspire a lot of women and girls to get out on the road, which is great.” Brendan Fox talking with Daniel Blackham in the August edition of .

We are delighted to share this fantastic feature with industry insider Brendan Fox, MD of Destination Sport Experiences

The piece discusses how consumer trends are changing in both the travel and cycling market, as well as what can be done to showcase the sport’s many benefits.

Key takeaways are;
- Hiring bikes is proving to be very popular versus travelling with your own.
- People are purchasing higher value bikes for longevity.
- Increase in couples and females going on cycling tours and trips.

There is no doubt Brendan is extremely passionate about the future of cycling and ends the interview saying “Lets try and get together as one (industry) and encourage people to get out there riding.”

This summer, as we witness the incredible athletes at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, let’s also acknowledge the unsung champions among us - parents.

The summer holidays may be a time of relaxation for children and teachers, but for parents, it often means juggling work and childcare.

With UK parents averaging 34 days of annual leave, they spend 75% of this time ensuring their children are cared for while working full time. It’s a balancing act of summer camps, grandparents, or using up all their leave at once.

Reflecting on Team GB Olympic shooter Amber Rutter’s silver medal win and the resilience required to manage sports and parenthood, it’s evident that all parents possess an Olympic mindset. They not only handle work and childcare but also manage households and personal well-being without the recognition given to athletes.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the silent heroes of this summer - parents who are excelling in their own version of the 2024 Olympics.

You are the true champions of this season. 🌟

We can’t believe that we’re nearing the end of 2023🥂

We’ve loved working with some of the most amazing people this year – from Compete PR clients, media friends and those in the wider industry.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it! 💫

2023 has been nothing short of jam-packed; from media trips and launch events, to partnership announcements and the management of crisis communications.

It’s been a blast 💥

We’ve enjoyed continued work with our highly-valued, long term retained clients, complemented with a constant flow of new and dynamic project work.

It’s been a year of the most amazing highs and “character-building” lows.
Something we know that many will identify with, in what can be described as a more “unpredictable” world.

We’re excited to see what 2024 has in store, with some very cool updates planned for the first quarter (watch this space 🔍)

Have a great Christmas and New Year everybody! 🎄

🚨Spotted in last week’s “First Look Friday” is the PRECISION 3+ power meter and Viiiiva heart rate monitor 🚨

These are two products packed full of innovative, industry-leading tech 🚴‍♀️

Featuring unrivalled accuracy and battery life, the PRECISION 3+ power meter features Apple Find My technology, enabling the user to track their bike, wherever in the world they might be.

And the Viiiiva is not just any old heart rate monitor, having the capacity to act as a bridging device, enabling it to connect ANT+ sensors with Bluetooth only devices. This is especially good for athletes that might regularly use platforms such as Zwift, or for those who might be using older devices that do not have Bluetooth.

✨I think that even mountain addicts should experience the Roubaix cobbles at least once, whatever condition they’re in. When you watch Paris-Roubaix on telly, it doesn’t do justice to what a wild ride it is. Perhaps the pros just make it look easy.
Riding the cobbles yourself is the only way to disregard that notion, it’s such a one-off ride in so many ways, that’s what I like about it✨

What a super informative article in this month’s edition of , in which four-time Paris Roubaixer at talks to .allenby about the iconic cycling event 🇫🇷

Charlie is set to take on the 2024 edition of Paris Roubaix (for the first time) with the team at Sportive Breaks, and so this kind of insight will no doubt prove to be incredibly valuable in way of preparation.

Ross talks through everything from tyre pressure, pacing and bike choice, to the best supplies to carry and finer details, such as how you grip your handlebars 🚴‍♀️

✨ I used to get fed up with tech issues when trying to connect with smart trainers and I’d end up pi**ed off before I’d even started training. The Wattbikes remove that hassle✨

Fab to see & very cool indoor training set up - feat. “his & hers” Atoms - in the latest 🚴‍♀️

Thanks , always a pleasure working with you ⭐️
