Clearly not trying hard enough. Out of the saddle and smiling????
And in the big ring, thank you very much (just don't look at my bar tape! They promised to airbrush it but chose to embarrass me instead). It's surprisingly difficult to ride and smile, as it turns out. But apparently big grimaces don't sell the mag - the readers like to think of cycling as being a bit like having a warm bath. Relaxing and non-strenuous. Ironing out my scowl was the hardest part.
