Midlife Cyclist Evening at Rapha Cafe - Feb 23rd 2023 - Dr Jon Baker, Phil Cavell and Julian Wall

"Grow Old. Ride Fast. Don't Die."

Phil Cavell - The Midlife Cyclist

Co-founders of Cyclefit, Phil Cavell and Julian Wall, host The Midlife Cyclist Talk Series

Exercise Pathfinders

We are the first generation that has ever attempted performance into middle-age and beyond. Nobody knows for sure what means for our long-term health and longevity. The science and research of the likely effects of intense exercise as we age is being written right now - in this series of talks we talk to clinical practitioners and pioneers

The Midlife Cyclist Talks are an informal chat with guests who can throw illumination on the vexing and wholly contemporary proposition of getting older, increasing fitness and staying healthy. Or as Phil puts it in The Midlife Cyclist

'Grow Old. Ride Fast. Don't Die'

Can our guests square this holy triangle?

Many of the guests included in this series were quoted in The Midlife Cyclist and gave generously of their time and wisdom. And it should be said that, on occasion, this was at the most difficult time, at the start of the Cov-19 lockdown.

The talks will be informal discussions with questions and observations welcomed from the audience. They are not formal lectures.

How To Book:
Tickets are £10 per talk, 50% going to the Rapha foundation and a portion to the Woodland Trust.

Doors open at 19.00 and the talk starts at 19:30 - 20:30

What our clients say

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

    Bauke Mollema

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

  • "I have been able to ride every day since the fit. So far I have had no pain which feels like a miracle!"

    Neilson Powless

    Professional Cyclist - Education First - Easypost

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."
