Our ‘bread and butter’ will always be the Bodyline range. It’s everything a cyclist could want, its breathable, aero, super comfortable and is packed with loads of […]

‘Herd In Training’ Session With Nicole Pugson // Zwift Workout In the current environment, I am spending a lot of time in Wattopia… #stayhome and all. I really want to say that I find sitting on the turbo terribly boring, but I secretly love it (not a secret). It’s incredibly efficient to get stronger in […]
Finding ordinary: the power of routine when the world is spinning Hey, Stolen Goat herd. Well, that escalated quickly. Remember when our main concern was Storm Dennis? It seems 2020 has gone all “hold my beer” on 2019. I don’t think when any of us were setting our goals or choosing our races for this […]

As we rolled quietly past our 7th birthday in July I began contemplating our journey thus far and, as I often do, I reflected on the beginnings of Stolen Goat and what it really means to be part of The Herd. It may sound corny, but Stolen Goat was created by myself (Tim Bland) as […]

Children’s Cycle Clothing – Mini Goats… we’ve got you covered! It’s a little-known fact: the offspring of Stolen Goat’s office herd is large enough in number to make up a Tour de France team. Plus a mechanic. The only thing is, they aren’t yet big enough. They sometimes act as though they are fast enough. […]
Top 3 Cycling Holiday Destinations for 2019 Hi, it’s Clare here from Epic Road Rides.

Part of my job is making sure I’ve always got one eye on the […]
Adventure snacks On Your Bike: Grab & Go Recipes to Fuel Your Adventures I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: one of my favourite things about cycling (other than the snazzy lycra and exploring the great outdoors) is the snacks. Anyone who’s ever experienced the dreaded mid-ride “bonk” (a term which means something […]
Martine Hoaas – Stolen Goat’s latest Brand Ambassador Hi peeps! I’m Martine Hoaas, the crazy triathlete from the North Pole (aka north of Norway) who pretty much wants everything in pink.

And just like that, we wave goodbye to another month of the year. This year feels like it’s moving at some pace, we’re almost halfway through in what seems to be a blink of the eye…. for us anyway. The recent spurts of sunshine and warm weather in the UK have naturally increased the sales […]

Last month was a crazy month for weather, we saw all the extremes and everything in between, here in the UK. Sometime at the beginning of the month, we witnessed snow storms and then for a week… the complete opposite – highs of 22C with not a cloud in the sky. Am I going too […]
JOINING THE HERD ‘Any plans for the weekend?’ ask my work colleagues. ‘Yes, I’m cycling to Cambridge’…jaw drop, confused look… ’From London?’ ‘Yes’ ’You’re crazy.’ I smile, shrug and say ‘It should be fun!’ Then I walk away whilst thinking ‘and back again.’ (but I keep that to myself!) This became a pretty standard exchange […]
Stolen Goat clothing has been available to buy on Wiggle since 2015. Our new SS19 Collection will not be available via Wiggle or Chain Reaction Cycles. Some people have asked about our reasons for taking the step to move away from the WiggleCRC platform, which may seem counter-intuitive on the surface of it, so I […]
New Year, New Challenges Every year gets off to a rocky start, with its own set of challenges to deal with but this year has been something of an ordeal, to say the least. While all the Northern Hemisphere riders are couped up indoors and logging miles on Zwift, the sun cranks up to its […]

Stolen Goat Christmas Gift Ideas Christmas is fast approaching. We get to pack in parties, presents and holiday riding.

Goodbye summer haze, hello winter breeze As the longest heatwave in recent memory comes to a definite close, attention quickly turns to keeping the rain out and the warmth in. Take note – we are talking about retaining warmth, not retaining humidity and perspiration! It’s no good if rain meets an impenetrable barrier in your […]
I can’t quite believe that I’m typing the words ‘off season’ already. Where has this year gone? For many of us, our race season started back in May (even earlier in March if you’re into that duathlon malarky…). So for five straight months we have put the pedal down both in training and our chosen […]
October 2018 Another month over and we draw ever closer to Christmas and the New Year! Again, this month’s weather has been extremely variable and as I write this the sun is shining and it’s a nice day, a few days ago it was a different story. We’ve seen a significant decrease in temperature this past month, […]
The Herd Friday A few weeks ago on Instagram, we started something called ‘The Herd Friday’ which is basically a day of the week we dedicated to you, our fellow goats. We love seeing photos of you in our kit, always have always will and as some of you long-time goat fans will know, your […]
Riding in Africa Living in Africa, there’s a common misconception that wild animals are free to roam through our gardens and dodging wildlife on the way to work is a daily occurrence. Most seasoned travellers know better by now, but I still get asked those odd questions from time to time. No, the wildlife isn’t […]
2019 Race Planning So there I was, making my way around the halfway buoy during the swim portion of Ironman Copenhagen with cartoon stars whizzing around my head after a good old-fashioned kick to the face from someone who’d spontaneously started doing breaststroke right in front of me. A sensible, rational human being would probably […]

Dushanbe To Bishkek Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/ If there’s one word to describe the last month there can only really be one – Mountainous.

Strava Art x Stolen Goat? Thibaut Pinot, Tour de France stage winner, draws a Goat during his 208km “warm-up” ride. Love it or hate it, eventually, everybody takes a quick look at Strava. If you fall in the latter camp, it’s possibly when you see that somebody has ridden a route that when uploaded to […]
SEPTEMBER 2018 And just like that, we wave farewell to another month. October is almost here and Christmas right around the corner…. can you believe it? It’s been another great month for SG and we can’t thank you (The Herd) enough. You keep us doing what we love and what we love is Inspiring Your […]
Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a swim-bike-run obsessive (and a fig roll enthusiast), so when I’m not cruising around on my bike I can be found hopping into lakes or out for a shuffle. My childhood and teenage years were mainly spent in a dance studio, so when it came to cycling I was already onboard […]
Trans Baviaans South Africans are a weird bunch. We have a penchant for the extreme, we only deal in absolutes like longest, furthest, highest. Any less and it isn’t worth the effort. That’s why a race like the Trans Baviaans exists, and has 1 500 riders aiming to ride 230 km, traversing the Baviaanskloof nature […]
Baku – Dushanbe Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ This month we’ve been getting acquainted with Central Asia: A completely new part of the world to us. So buckle up for the ride, here’s what went down… They say patience is a virtue and we put this to the test during the first […]
This month has been a strange one for weather. One day its nice, warm and the Sun is out, the next its cold and chucking it down…. Typical, fickle British weather. But, this shouldn’t stop you from getting out on the bike. Remember, we have a collection called Orkaan, designed especially for the Spring and Autumn…. and its […]
Hi, I’m Clare! I’m an avid cyclist, travel-lover and recent founder of Epic Road Rides, the travel website for road cyclists. In May this year, I quit my job as a lawyer to set up a site I’d been dreaming of for years: Epic Road Rides was born! Epic Road Rides is the one-stop shop […]
As one of the longest-running heatwaves in memory slowly starts to draw to a close, it’s time for an update from a recent addition to the herd, the official Stolen Goat product manager, a.k.a The Claw, or me, David Law. As the size of the herd increases annually, my role is to make sure the […]
So, the year is over halfway through and I felt the urge to cycle some new roads and #adventuremore. An itch needed scratching! My cycling homie Laurence and I decided to jump ship, well ferry in this case and headed to Ireland. We had a super early start and a long cycle to the ferry […]
Istanbul to Baku Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ With the sounds of our festival-set still ringing in our ears, we hot-footed it back to Istanbul, ready to crack on into the heart of Turkey.

Feels like Summer has been and gone with the recent downpours we’ve experienced. However, It doesn’t look like it’s stopped the Herd from getting out on the bikes though. Thank you for tagging us in your photos on Instagram, It’s great to see you all. If you haven’t already followed us, make sure you do – […]
Before you get into this – did you know you can join us on strava! Maligned by many for encouraging competitive riding on public roads, the fitness tracking app Strava has the ability to turn even the most ordinary ride into a race. But not everyone uses the app in quite the same way, or […]
Yep, as the title suggests, stolen goat will be launching has just launched a coffee collection. It’s no surprise really…. cyclists and coffee go hand in hand like jam in doughnuts and French in fries? Maybe the last one wasn’t the best analogy but I’m hungry, anyway, we digress. Everyone at SG HQ loves a good coffee […]
Tirana to Istanbul Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ If our first two months on the road were all about finding our feet, then month three has seen us wiggling our musical toes in a big way.

The Goat goes to Lanzarote After finishing my 2017 triathlon season with that niggling feeling that I hadn’t achieved my goals – it left me with the pesky decision of choosing another race. Go hard or go home….so Lanzarote Ironman in late May was soon signed up for. This meant a brutal winter of training […]
SG Job Role: Product Manager My qualities: Dogged, honest, tenacious, thorough. A little bit about me: My nickname is The Claw. I started MTB racing in 1993, in the middle of the mountain biking boom. Spectacularly uncoordinated, my results started to improve when I switched to road racing at the end of my last year […]
Riding in Mallorca I do a fair amount of overseas travel for work every year, but it’s never the type of travel where I can settle in, take in the sights and get a feel for a new place. It’s high-paced. I’ll fly for anywhere from 8 to 16 hours to get to Europe […]
You asked…. We listened…. They’re here…. We’re proud to introduce our first ever Tri suit collection for Spring/Summer 2018.

Defeating Winter As we all know, Winter SUCKS! Getting through it is the hard part and all we do is look to Summer and hope that all our Winter training will have paid off.

My First Road Race of the 2018 Season – Tour of the Mining Valleys – Aberystwyth, Wales I had my eyes on this race since early last year. I knew it was a race I would love to get stuck into. I didn’t really want/ envisage it to be my first race of the 2018 […]
Hello! Ashley Oldfield here from Cape Town South Africa. My cycling story has 2 parts to it, the first as a kid, building jumps in my parent’s backyard and learning to fly, whip and tuck and roll out of a bad landing. In the wide open spaces we have access to down south (way down […]
In what feels like a blink of an eye we’re in the 5th month of the year…. almost halfway through!!! The weather has been extremely temperamental over the last four weeks and that has reflected in the types of garments sold. A real mixture of kit has left the SG warehouse, Orkaan jerseys and shorts, new EPIC bib […]
Gearing up for Race Season And just like that almost four months of the year have disappeared!

Our SS18 collection was launched around this time last month. It’s too early to see which will be our best sellers for the season, it’s still very close.

Snow Day 1st day of spring brought with it Storm Emma – total nightmare! Races were cancelled, best-laid plans came to an abrupt halt. N+1 on the bike front – I dusted off the Fatbike and took the ‘Fatboy’ out. I’m told that fatbikes are designed to be ridden in the snow – but living […]

Six weeks into the new year the steely resolve of that new years resolution has softened into a mushy apathy, the dark days and freezing weather offering the perfect derailment to your well-intentioned fitness resolutions.

What is time to talk day? Time to talk is a campaign created by Rethink and Mind – both organisations for Mental Health Illness.

Essex on Two Wheels + Cake! Because of my job and it’s odd hours, I’m able to take advantage of getting out on some solo rides around Essex. We live north of the river, so it’s probably the easiest place to get to, although don’t get me wrong, I do like the Kent hills every […]
Mud, Slides & Gratitude Winter training is in full tilt. Never has the weather forecast been checked and rechecked so many times. It’s fair to say it’s the hardy cyclists amongst us that brave the bad conditions. The saying ‘no such thing as bad weather – just bad choice of kit’ does indeed come into […]
Towards the end of last year we wanted to soak in as much of the Sun as we could before the poor weather set in. So, we escaped to Murcia, here’s what happened. Murcia Trip 2017 The temperature has dropped and loathe to settle for the poor weather we decided to make for the Sunshine…. […]

So its been a couple months since I last wrote for SG. A lot has happened in many ways I guess. I have made good strides forward in feeling better and seem to be coming to grips with depression and how it manifests itself in my day-to-day. The doc is pleased and thinks I’m ready […]
It’s that time of year where the weather is bleak, the festive cheer has disappeared, we’ve all eaten and drunk a bit too much and feeling perhaps a little less motivated to get back on the saddle. It probably doesn’t help that when we wake up it’s dark outside and being under the covers, wrapped […]
New Year New You – A term easier said than done, for some of us it may last a few weeks, for others, longer…. but ultimately we end up going back to our old ways because it’s what we know! Here’s some pointers on pushing on through… Brush The Dust Off The Bike Now is the […]
As we recover from the recent festivities I thought it would be timely to discuss briefly our upcoming plans for the year ahead and also a brief look-back on 2017. 2017 was by all accounts a thoroughly enjoyable year for us at stolen goat.
