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

Excellent! Aiming to qualify for this year after taking up cycling seriously in may last year. Coming from down near brighton makes a reccy cycle a bit tough!
Why so short? Would be better with 15-20min😊

Love the hill climb series every year. Surprised you’re doing it this year though.
Definitely want to see more on this! I’ve entered the Nat HC for the first time this year, first HC of the year done and 2nd one coming up in a few weeks! I was pretty gutted when they changed the climb! Prospect looked cool with the turns!
Always look forward to the hc series at the end of summer Ed, though this year unless you live in the south east it hasn't actually even started yet! I await your documentation of your build up to the National with much interest as usual & hope you manage to win another one on watt appears to be an interesting course, good luck in the quest for it.
I was very confused when I saw you in Heysham not doing prospect hill. Now I know…. See you in September and October hopefully
I was there on the hill for mcc event taking photos. Great event. I got some belters
I love your hill climb content but I'll leave the riding up hill bit to you as im more a TT person myself but i may do a couple here and there. Good luck Ed
Are you excited? Who's excited? Ed's excited!!! 😊
Looks like a good hill for it. Would like to know how you fuel your VO2 efforts for this while maintaining (or dropping) weight. That seems to be the hardest part about this.
imagine doing no hill climb series and coming first. wouldn't that be a shame?
Is there a 100 kilo plus category…..LOL…..guess not as they would have to shut the road for too long……
When you mentioned Prospect Hill I hoped that it would be Prospect Place in Bath!
Definitely want to see more HC
Look forward to more content on the HC. Looked back to see if you did any around my area and lo and behold up popped Bushcombe Lane between Tewkesbury and Cheltenham. Keep the vids coming Ed🚴👌👍
Great video to hype the hill climb season!! Looking forward to watching your journey. I hope you see all of the same success that you had last year…with maybe 1 small change in the final result.
Carpark at Hexham premier inn is huge and free…….bet nobody would notice a stealth van there 👀
What’s your race calendar looking like for this season?
Apart from You, Ed 😁 Harry Mac would be my dark horse……… if he takes it seriously, that is 😂 glad to hear you're entering again 👊
The build up series last year was what got me onto your channel, hope you do it again 👍
Andy Cunningham is a strong boy going up the hills 🎉
Just seen Cunningham got very close to the Cat and Fiddle record last week – the man is on fire right now!
It is disingenuous to indicate you had inside knowledge for some time that venue for event was different to advertised. This information should have been made public knowledge as soon as it was known. OK, it’s only a few miles down the road but people travel from far afield for this event, sometimes with family and this information affects decision on where to book accommodation. 👎🏼
Look forward to hearing more about the HC Ed. I live not far from Hexham so will come and cheer you on!
