Reaching your full potential as a cyclist takes enormous effort, commitment, solid planning and the support of a great team. Reaching your financial goals also requires commitment, but Raisin UK can shoulder much of the hard work for you.

How would you describe your relationship with saving? Do you find the enormity of the challenge overwhelming, to the point where doing nothing feels more comfortable than crossing the start line?

Don’t worry, you're not alone. The challenge of choosing saving opportunities that best meet your needs can make many people break out in a sweat more suited to climbing Alpe d'Huez in the midday sun.

Whatever your aims, Raisin UK offers a wide selection of savings options, including fixed-term deposits, easy-access accounts, and notice accounts. It helps you navigate financial jargon and provides guidance on saving strategies, enabling you to make well-informed decisions that will influence your future. Savings products from various banks can be easily compared by interest rate and term, making comparisons quick and straightforward. All your options are in one place, and the service costs nothing – Raisin doesn’t even take a commission from the interest you earn.

So, think of your financial planning as your very own Grand Tour. Sure, they’ll be temporary setbacks, sprints to master and steep mountains to conquer. But stay the course and, ultimately, you’ll win the race.

For a limited time only, you can receive a £100 bonus when you register and fund your first savings account with a minimum of £10,000 using the code “OFFER100”.

Simon spent his childhood living just a stone’s throw from the foot of Box Hill, so it’s no surprise he acquired a passion for cycling from an early age. He’s still drawn to hilly places, having cycled, climbed or skied his way across the Alps, Pyrenees, Andes, Atlas Mountains and the Watkins range in the Arctic.

Simon now writes for Cycling Weekly as a freelancer, having previously served as Tech Editor. He’s also an advanced (RYT 500) yoga teacher, which further fuels his fascination for the relationship between performance and recovery.

He lives with Jo, his yoga teacher wife, in the heart of the Cotswolds, with two rescue cats, five bikes and way too many yoga mats. He still believes he could have been a contender if only chocolate weren’t so moreish.
