Nice grip.

There's a local rider to these parts.Owns a small bike shop,4 kids,mid 40's....Elite Cat roady 😯

I actually think zooming in on the photo makes it worse

And there are children present for gods sake

alright. Enough now. the point I was making....oh sod it.

I have 6 and 7 year olds, and was hugely suprised to squeak onto the torchbearer solo podium at the 24/12 last weekend.

I am however now a bit disappoinmted that mrs julian (whose laydeez team also came 2nd) didn't grab my er, 'bar' like that on the finish line.

For me training consists of commuting including 'bastid big hill' (1 mile at 1:12) to work four times a week, and I suppose a few hours a week of ss/geared xc and/or downhill per week.
