Posted on August 14, 2025 | by Lucy Sibbald | Leave a Comment

With over half of 2025 completed, VeloViewer infographics are starting to look pretty as they tell a story of riders adventures for the year to-date. Our end of year VV Wrapped is renowned for being shared in the new year and is a visual way to depict the year of training.

For some, the infographic data is a closely guarded secret which will not be revealed until the close of 2025, but we have spotted a few out in the wild and so have been checking in with riders on their progress.

Cycling enthusiast and YouTuber Scottish rider Stuart Dick shared his Infographic with us, and we wanted to see how his year was progressing, and what his motivations were to get out and ride. Continue reading →

Alvaro Nunez completing RAAM In May we announced we were supporting entrepreneur and bestselling Author Alvaro Nuñez in his Race Across America (RAAM) attempt, and we are delighted to report he recently completed this extreme event in 11 days, 23 hours and 3 minutes.

Driven by the motivation to finish the RAAM in under 12 days, Alvaro pushed himself to the extreme which, as he explains, involved strength both mentally and physically.

I’ve seen on the Strava Customer Support site lots of people asking to be able to show off all the challenges that they have completed. As it stands I don’t know which of the challenges you have or have not signed up for but I can quite easily calculate how you would have done if you had. So here it is: a trophy cabinet of all the challenges you have completed and those that you didn’t quite achieve (whether you were trying or not)! Of course this is only currently available for cycle challenges, not running ones.
