WSKY Ride

Challenge

I wanted a home for my riding that showed my training honestly, without hand-updating stats or working around a blogging platform. It needed to look like a cycling project, not a template, and take minutes to update after a ride.

Approach

A fully custom backend. Instead of a CMS with a plugin pile, I wrote a lightweight PHP backend with an admin panel for posts and reviews, so every feature exists for a reason.

Live data from Strava. The site connects to Strava, so ride stats update without manual posting.

Outcome

• A multi-page site with a blog, gear reviews, and a contact form
• A custom admin panel for publishing and editing content
• A live Strava integration that keeps ride data current
• A responsive layout that works from phone to desktop
