One glance at the profile was enough to make me wince.
So, riding it? (Oh, it would be lovely... with a pacing, not racing attitude.)
Racing it? At the speeds we'll see ridden in the Giro?! That's... nah, my mind boggles at the numbers these guys can generate.

How does this message help anyone?

Elation and frustration // Ganna wins, van Aert runner-up
A few bike changes didn't stop Filippo Ganna from taking his first victory in a one-day Classic. If you didn't see the race or haven't seen the highlights make sure you take a look.
Dwars Door Vlaanderen 2026, a Classic that became a battle between two of cycling's finest.

// Tadej Pogačar – 1st
This is the best photo of the finish of a bike race I can remember. And I've seen plenty.
Maybe there's a better one, for one reason or another, but this one by Massimi Paolone of LaPresse ...!? It has everything.

So, since 1999 to 2025 (excluding the two COVID interruptions), I’ve flown to South Australia at this time of the year.
To date, I’ve attended every single stage of the Tour Down Under. That will change in 2026.
I will be a DNS in the TDU media entourage. Not going to the races this year.
Personal choice. 25 is a good record, and I know I’ll miss it, but it’s time to take a break.

New Video // Travel, Scenery + Cycling Inspiration
It is a question, could this be My Best Ride Ever? There were so many layers that piled on top of each other during this adventure / cultural / cycling experience, that I can help but wonder. Maybe.
It is a long video, but – as you can see if you click the link – I think it showcases a region and its charms in many ways...
If you watch, I hope you enjoy.
