The weather is great at the moment, no wind, not too cold, clear(ish) skies. Spot on for some cycling in the dark.

I did a loop around Holcombe Moor last night. Only 30 miles or so but I made sure it was a hard 30 miles and really put it in on the climbs. I’ve put some wider bars on the Global too – it’s transformed the ride. I can now descend and climb a lot faster.

God knows why so many people race with narrow bars. They’re officially crap. FACT. Flat 700mm bars (with bar ends YAY!) are the way ahead I tells ya.
