Happy Monday

How are you doing today? It’s Monday, It’s Grey but hey don’t let that set the tone for the day. I wish you a fantastic start to the week and YOU GOT THIS!

Last week was my Eurobike comedown, I rode my bike, booked my trip to Barcelona (work-related) but it’s okay bikes are involved, it is N+1 after all…. OH and raced my bike in a Road Crit near dresden.

It was a really great week and I had a lot of looks forward to at the end of it such as the race, It was tough, it rained and over 97km the average was 40kph. But I ended up 13th overall in the final bunch sprint and my good friend Justin took 3rd in the breakaway.

Right anyway, I’m off on holiday for a week today so here are some cool things as always to help you, and some awesome cycling content to go with.
