On a trip to Girona.
De-wintered the Landrace. No mudguards and racy, light slippers. Feels even better to ride.
First ride up a famous climb - can you spot where?

Big news from @midlifecyclist.bsky.social Serotta back in the UK! www.cyclefit.co.uk/journal/ben-... For custom bike fans this is huge. Very nearly bought a second hand early 2000s C5S Colorado on eBay over summer. Always wanted one like Phil’s pink CdA

Applaud @cyclefit.bsky.social Manifesto www.cyclefit.co.uk/journal/the-... by @midlifecyclist.bsky.social - had years of joy from fits done 15 years ago (bike & insoles) & Jules' pioneering suggestion to try shorter cranks. Used on all my bike builds. Hoping my old Merckx isn't too old for refit

Finished "The Midlife Cyclist" by @midlifecyclist.bsky.social. I'm past "midlife" but it was only published 4-yrs ago. Still, it contains valuable info that will keep me riding for decades to come. If you are 40+ and ride, read this book. If you 50+, consider it in combi w/Joe Friel's"Fast After 50"
