Pedal Performance

It’s been a while since I posted, as you can see, I did the Cape 2 Cape. It’s the 4th time I’ve done it and my best result so far. 54th overall and 21st in my category, I was hoping for a top 50 and top 20, but I’ll take it.

I then decided to take last week off to recover and reflect and I’ll share my thoughts on how it went and how I’ve gone from DNF 4 years ago to finishing where I did this time in 2022.

I put it all down to working smarter on and off the bike and following structure in my riding and a structured gym plan. The reason I think I didn’t quite make the top 50 is I think the competition was a lot higher this year when compared to last year. Last year W.A still had a strict border that put a lot of people off travelling and coming here. This year we had a lot more interstate and international riders which is great.

If people want to find out more, ask questions or what my strategy was then just send me a message and I’ll be happy to answer. In all honesty I don’t know who will even read down to hear, if you have leave a comment saying read. It’ll help when writing text in other posts.

Great to sponsor a trail and support the local network. All the money goes back into the trails and maintaining them. Thanks to everyone involved in getting this done.

Great having the very talented Bailey Christie pop in and have a mobility screen and strength test with us.
Already creating a name for himself in the mountain biking world at such a young age, he is destined for big things. His passion and willingness to work hard and do what it takes is great to see.
The strength testing gave him a good understanding of where his strength is currently at, and the difference between the right side Vs the left side of the body. Having this information and working on the imbalances will make him a stronger and more efficient rider.
Scary to think that he is only going to get better, stronger and faster.
Keep working hard.

It’s a little busy but I love my indoor set up. Having a space that’s clean, tidy, with good light and has everything you need, including fans and good air flow is a great way to keep your training on point. Show me your pain cave, gym, man cave or whatever you call it.

Visited the WA Museum today and was pleasantly surprised to see they had a small bit on bikes and the 1983 world champion, Steele Bishop bike. If you don’t know who he is look him up, W.A cycling icon, as you can see from the pictures I have one of his signed jerseys in the gym.

Great ride 🚴 this morning, good getting out on some gravel and getting a longer ride in. It was only 5 degrees 🥶 this morning but you soon warm up with some of the hills 🏔 on this loop.
Anyone else want to share their ride.

We’re having our first social ride!!🚴‍♂️

13th June, meeting at Pedal Performance HQ at 6am 🏋️‍♂️
104 Walters Drive, Osborne Park 6017

This ride is for anyone wanting to get out on their bike in winter! You can be a beginer, experienced, fast, slow, on a road bike, MTB…it really doesn’t matter! We want to help people to start riding or to continue you to ride during the colder/darker mornings 🥶 It’ll go for an hour and will finish back at the gym, which more importantly has 3 coffee ☕️ shops near by 👍

It’s a great way to start the day and more importantly the week with like minded people who like to ride. If you plan on joining us, please bring your bike, helmet and lights 🙌

Congratulations to Jai Hindley on making history at the Giro Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi

Indoor structured ride today. Who else loves the structure a training plan gives you?
Just pop in an event you have coming up, how days you want to train and the plan is done for you.

Today we are looking at strength testing 📈

An athlete came in 8 weeks ago after a hamstring injury. You can see from the image on the left his hamstring strength was low. Fast forward 8 weeks and you can see the strength is on the rise and slowly getting back to where it should be after following a structured training and rehab plan!

The second image is showing quad strength over the same time period 🦵🏼You can see that we have narrowed the difference between right and left from 6% - 2%.

🚴🏼‍♂️What does this mean as a cyclist? If you can get the same muscle groups to put out the same strength you are going to be a more efficient and well balanced cyclist. The smallest of imbalances can make a huge difference to how well you ride. If you find one leg, or one muscle group is always fatiguing quicker or sore after a ride, maybe you have an imbalance that can be fixed with a tailored gym program, get in contact and book your strength testing now!

Well done to Pedal Performance athletes who competed in this past weekend, with all three athletes finishing in the top 3 of their respective age groups.

Our athletes started their journey to success with a cycling specific mobility and strength screening, the findings of which were used to create individualised and structured training programs both on the bike and in the gym.

Want to improve your cycling efficiency, strength and performance, ask us how!
Send us a message or DM us.

Big thanks to for working with us and keeping our athletes primed for performance.

A great day yesterday Australian Masters Games thanks to all those involved in making the event happen and to all the competitors. Very happy with my race, despite missing a turn and going the wrong way I finished 2nd in my age group.
Set goals, set a plan to work towards them train smart.
