I like to get through as many books as I can. Normally my next book is a recommendation from a friend. Have you read anything good lately ? Two from me, the lion trackers guide to life & the creative act by Rick Rubin

Our usual group spin was cancelled today due to bad weather. So I’m getting my nails done and going to the gym! I guess this is what normal people do on Saturday mornings when they don’t have a weekly group ride. Feels weird.

Howdy Folks. I put together a little spreadsheet of rides, races, and events I thought might interest you. I am planning on attending all these. If you add your events to the calendar (try to keep it in date order), perhaps we can get a group together and ride! I'll try to drop links in there as they come up too. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ElczqMK9E-WjqatuQj41Qh9TQKvpUjO9qgWMAcCYwlM/edit?usp=drivesdk

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!

I know that this is meant to be a Thursday post but I wanted to say it before race season begins. “Aero water bottles” - if you aren’t doing long distance events then just go and get them. Will likely save you a few watts for zero effort. I am talking about the Trek style ones as opposed to those older TT ones. The cages still work with your normal rounded bottles which is pretty handy. I believe that they are as secure as your traditional bottles too? I haven’t heard any bad reviews personally AliExpress or panda podium would be cheaper alternatives. Photo below! If you are doing 8 hour long gravel races then it’s probably not the most practical thing so it’s more relevant to people doing shorter races. But I think it’s worth trying out 🫡
