Lately, we’ve been opting out of running and instead have spent more time on the turbo trainer and (because we’ve had some mild weather here and there) getting out for a few good rides outside. We just inherently enjoy riding our bike more than going for a run. However, we do enjoy running, and we’ve been feeling guilty that a month into the 2024 we still haven’t gone on our first run of the year. We’ve started wondering what’s going to pull us away from our bike. Perhaps this article by Rouleur will convince us that going for a run this winter will make us a better cyclist.
The Manx Missile won his first race of the season at the Tour of Colombia—35 TDF stage wins here we come! Also, the final stage of the Tour of Colombia’s finale was equally exciting. Not to be outdone by South American racing, European racing is getting rolling, and Mads Pedersen is shaping up to have a good year for Lidel Trek. Elsewhere in the world, racing in UAE isn’t only for SD-Worx: have we said that we love it when the breakaway wins the stage? Why would a pro delete his KOM? Here’s some speculation. Would you use Apple’s Vision Pro for Zwift? Seems like there’d be too much sweat in the eyes.
