Hi All - It's been really cool to dip in here and see what it's all about - I've really enjoyed "meeting" everyone and feeling a part of it. It also helped me get back into the rhythm of riding (almost) daily, and I needed that bit of structure and support to get me going. I'm going to sign off however - I'm not really financially secure enough to keep going on the monthly....so, Thanks for Everything Anthony et al, adios and happy riding!

Did you ride today? I was meant to ride but had to move rest day to today. Was wiped after a blood test this morning.

Did you ride today? I'm just about to get up for 60 mins easy spin of the legs, z1/2

How was your week!? Last full week of January already. Still doesn’t feel like it’s 2026 to me. Been pretty busy but nothing too exciting from me this week really. Caoimhe landed back the other day and got the first half of her Assos kit (as well as everything else). Some amount of stuff as you can see from the photo. I was trying to add it up but I’d say the total valuation of everything in that photo isn’t too far off 40k (they don’t get to keep the bike but they keep everything else at the end of the year). New bike isn’t meant to be on show you yet as it’s the new unreleased frame - nothing too obvious in terms of updates from what I can see. But that’s the reason for scribbling it out 🤣 It’s the bike that they are all riding and racing already but don’t want her getting in trouble in case. It’s a bit stupid to me that they’ve been given the 2027 model but cannondale haven’t announced it yet. Makes it so underwhelming to me when they do actually decide to announce it. But sure look. Hope you had a good week! Matthew

Ineos & GB Bike fitter Phil Burt was kind enough to give me some time to sit and record a bike fitting Masterclass. I tried my best to answer as many of the community questions as possible in the one hour. Very enjoyable conversation and well worth a watch. The conversation is in Classrooms under "Academy" @Alicia Dana i asked him specifically about Hand Cycling near the end. https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/classroom/b8fb514e?md=e3ddb79f55d74e968905b4ab9ab4d8ef
