We caught up with him to ask about all things cycling, coffee and criteriums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:\u00a0<\/strong>Thanks for your time today and virtual coffee catchup Nick, first up, when did you ride your first criterium?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:\u00a0<\/strong>No problem at all, I&#8217;m always keen for a coffee catch up virtual or face-to-face. My first crit was late 2011 or early 2012, when I was 22 years old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:\u00a0<\/strong>Criteriums really are the fastest, toughest, most brutal style of riding \u2026 why are they so popular?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0I think your comment nailed it right on the head. They take a lot of explosive power and strategic riding to be able to race &#8230; let alone finish. They are tactical too, it&#8217;s not just a case of being first over the line. A lot of thought, tactics and mind games go into each and every race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0Tell us about grading, it\u2019s often a contentious topic?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes it is. There are always &#8216;burglars&#8217;- those trying to sneak into lower grades so they can get onto the top step &#8211; unless you are in top grade and have nowhere to hide. When starting in Crit&#8217;s you are generally start in a lower grade. As you progress, with experience and skill, you will work into the harder, stronger grades.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0Thinking back to your first crit, how would you describe it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Honestly I had no idea what was going on but was advised to keep in the top 4 wheel&#8217;s and tried my best. But eagerness and lack of experience saw me caught out, burning my matches way too early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0And your racing nowadays?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0I have personally learnt how not to burn matches too early. I try to play the long game by being more strategic and working smarter. Now I try to utilise power when and where I need it, always saving a little extra for when it&#8217;s really required. Also, crits are shorter races they are still more like a marathon than a sprint &#8230; you really need to save that all-important last burst of power until the very end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0How do you train and prepare for a crit?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Mixing rides to include high-intensity workouts is a good start. This helps push my heart rate and Vo2 up and down. Longer endurance rides are also important &#8211; but include set intervals so you can practice putting the power down when it&#8217;s really needed. This will also help improve recovery<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0And you\u2019re riding the new Bowral crit in October, a street circuit alongside Sir Donald Bradman Oval. Your thoughts on this new criterium event?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0It really should add some extra excitement and high-action racing to the already existing awesome weekend. I think the new Bowral Crit will be a fan favourite simply because you will be right there on the sidelines, seeing first hand what goes on during a race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0And first-year honours will be on the table &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0Don&#8217;t give too many trade secrets away, but what are your Top 3 tips for those keen to get into Crit racing or ride the Bowral crit?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Train correctly. Identify your strengths and weakness. Work on your bike handling and explosive power. Most of all, get in and race as many Crit&#8217;s as you can as this provides the best training and learning experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BA:<\/strong>\u00a0Nick Johns, thanks for your time and we look forward to following your racing and coffee selfies \u2026 how can people follow you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>NJ:<\/strong>\u00a0Look for the black on black Merida running 65 Caden wheels otherwise the easy way is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQNa476Bw4d\/\">@thecoffee_cycleguy<\/a>, or follow our race team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/apres_velo_racing\/?hl=en\">@apres_velo_racing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.registernow.com.au\/secure\/Register.aspx?E=40471\">Register for the Bowral Crit here! <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Criterium racing is one of the hardest, fastest and most exciting forms of bike racing &#8211; it&#8217;s tactical, fan-friendly, and a wonderful spectator sport.
