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 [[email protected]] 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 YouTube channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

Join me as I recall how I won the Mont Ventoux Gran Fondo, what is potentially the most iconic location to finish a cycling event! I take you through the power requirements, race tactics, and the story through the nail biting final 7km as I climbed my way to the top! Thank you for watching this video, I’m so happy how it turned out! Means a lot that I can share these adventures with you all!
-
Not often that you get a full breakdown of an event from the WINNER! We’re all lucky to have you and your honest down to earth videos. YOU SMASHED IT!! 😎
-
Superb. I did it in 1978 as a 19 year old on 42x21. Just remember how steep it was through the trees. You guys know so much now 🚴♂️👏
-
I put a 32 Cassette on for my trip out there with the intention of seeing how long before I needed it - turns out that was about 100 meters after the left turn into the climb 😂😂 the gift that kept on giving 👊👊
-
Congratulations! My wife and I are enthusiastic recreational cyclists. We road Mount Ventoux about 15 years ago form Crillon Le Brave to Bedoin to Ventoux. Following along with your video, I relived our ride. Of course, it took us significantly longer but we felt like champs when we made the summit.
-
Never seen you with such a glint in the eyes Ed!!.fucking brilliant performance mate!!. You looked more happy there than when you got the sa colabra record!. You were definitely in full racing snake mode once again!!!.
-
Mega ride & video
-
Super excited .. Let's go #EdMode 🏆 Just stunning Ed cannot really add to that .. Chapeau Sir 🙇
-
Just seen this Ed & have to say it was one of the most enjoyable 'real life' in competition videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching, not many of us get the opportunity to race up such a truly iconic course & even less to actually win it against such a quality field, very well done!
-
Huge congratulations Ed 🥇🥇🥇🚲🚲🚲 I’ve been waiting your videos for many years now. Hard training pays off. You’re an inspiration for me and I’m sure for many others cyclists. Well done Ed 👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇
-
Ed! What an achievement, we are all so proud of you and you have inspired me to get back on the bike. Enjoy the moment and I can't wait to see what the rest of 2024 can bring
-
Impressive performance, it rarely happens that the winner comes from behind. I finished 1 h after you 😂 It is my best result on this event though for my 7th start. It’s cool to watch inside video from the winner. Thank you.
-
I love the area and Ventoux is a climb I ride regularly so this video - and your win - is a fantastic mix 👏👏👌
-
Congratulations Ed absolutely phenomenal ride from a fellow welshman great content as usual.
-
What a brilliant video and effort Ed..you went past extremely strong cyclists like "Pogacar"in the Giro!!!
-
Congrats on the win!!! You stuck to your instincts and it worked out. That was such an awesome recap Ed. I enjoyed every bit of it. My favorite part was when you went around the big group before the official start of the climb. A seemingly insignificant move that bought you time to catch the leader.
-
Well done Ed. You are a Champion! 🎉
-
Two fantastic achievements. First the sporting one, and second making such a great video about it. Having the presence of mind to ensure that you got footage and so on is incredible. Thanks Ed.
-
That is class fair play. Well done Ed 👏 💪
-
well done and well spoken
