A little about Ed….
Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider for one of the most successful British cycling teams in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and founded the on/offline cycling community, Backpedal. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [laverackcoaching@yahoo.com] for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many and flexible options to suit everyone!
Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This KZread channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

mate you're and absolute legend and the type of cyclist we need more of. i dammn salute you. stay safe stay awesome and Ride on!!!!!!
That rider in the yellow jacket is a gentleman for stopping and fixing Charlie's saddle!!
10:52 You need whatever the guy on the Right had 🚄 💨😂 Well done, Ed. I have to put this in next year's calendar
Love this - the cheery commentary after what was a tough and technical race!
I did the event on Sunday, it was emotional!! 😂 Great video, nice to relive the course and show friends and family what we had to navigate off the beach! Keep up the good work.
I’m so glad you did the two point of views! I was mid pack and the difference in first lap races I had compared to my team mates was unbelievable! Both did extremely well to complete this!

Me to! Was a bit nervous that it wouldn't work out but glad it did judging by the comments :) Hope you enjoyed Lau!
Superb narration. Felt like we were listening in to a private chat between two people totally absorbed in each others experience.
Great footage.👍 Loved the dual commentary and perspective of the race, And I've learnt a new Welsh word, 'rumpety bumpety bits',🤔😂 Thanks Charlie.👍

Sadly we can’t afford for her to take time off work to come and do all the events, but we appreciate the encouragement 😍
Only just watched this. Best moment for me relates to your definition of a “puddle”. That was more like a lake 😊

Great footage and commentary of what was a great event (despite the weather). Really good to see other riders points of view as I had tunnel vision from getting a bit “racier” than my legs could handle 😂🙈

After an event like this... Do you need to take the bike apart to clean everything?
@edlaverack
2 ай бұрын
Yes. Funnily enough I didn’t talk about this but my BB was shot before the event but I didn’t change it because I knew it would get ruined. Sand is a bike killer. I will need a new BB, chain, at a minimum. But cleaning the bike as soon as possible is the key, twice if you can😂
Course was in awful state 😂 well done to both of you
I wonder how many people would have pulled out if we’d known the state of the course. They kept it very quiet considering the changes that they made. Borderline being cancelled I’d say.
Yuck!! RESPECT
