Hi all,

Delighted to announce that Svein Tuft of World Tour Cycling team Orica-GreenEDGE will be in attendance with Barry on Saturday. Svein is a multiple Canadian national champion in both road race and time trial, a medalist at the World Time Trial Championships in both individual and team time trial, and a TTT stage winner of the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France with Orica-GreenEDGE. Svein is top of his game in terms of nutrition and lives quite a “primal” lifestyle. Here are a few videos which give an insight into what kind of a guy Svein is:

Svein will take a few questions at the end of the talk on Saturday.

Don’t miss it!!!

Thanks to everyone who came to the talk yesterday. A really different concept compared to what you are used to hearing but a worthwhile experience all the same. I’ll have the slides and extra material from Barry asap.

Cheers!
