Scones… In the lead up to the 4th Cat Velopark race I’ve been putting in a lot more hours on the bike, along with a little less food consumption than normal. The reason? Clicking that submit button on the Canyon website! With the thought of a new bike delivery dispatch date of 4 weeks, which…

It’s pretty sad. Anyway on a positive note I won this race. It was a very small field, and the last of the…
