    Anyone who’s not very Christmassy in the north might want to know Farmer Johns bike park is open. Pay at the shop or farm house, no need to
    Book.

    These are brilliant bikes, my son races on one of these and it’s been great, super light and tough and no stupid fiddle dropouts, disc mounts etc like some higher end frames.
    Buy this, be a rad dad and have hours of fun on pump tracks and bmx tracks

    100% this, he’s suggested he could do it enough times! He does or did ride some pretty hardcore stuff at chevin and stainburn when he lived at home but that’s not quite the same!

    Turns out mine doesn’t have the stem which is the issue, but I had to ask canyon 3 times before they confirmed this, they apparently were t going to tell me I was ok to ride!

    That actually sounds ideal with kids, fewer grown ups barging in grabbing bottles is good

    Has anyone been to watch the women’s Tour de France in person? I’m curious how it is as it’s a maybe for us during the summer holidays, maybe see it a couple of times near the start with a mid stage watch and a start and or finish.
    We went to the vuelta which was great but relatively low key caravan and all the riders dived straight in the bus and were off within minutes.
    Worth dragging kids to or not?

    He’s a fierce competitor but I do wonder about who he surrounds himself with and if maybe he’s softened a little now he has cash, girlfriend, manager etc. but hope not

    Do Q36.5 get invites to all the big races? They aren’t world tour are they?
    Maybe they offered him a chance to ride downhill world cups too and put his money where his mouth is

    Thoughts on new kits as they arrive?
    Inneos looks basically the same but for some reason they have white helmets for some riders, maybe just for training.
    Cofidis I’m not sure I like just cos Cofidis should be red and white.
    Lidl is pretty good I think, it’s growing on me each year.
    Soudal quickstep whatever they are now are busy ironing a few more sponsors onto their jersey.
    Q36.5 to have a white rose on their back?
    Will anyone do a dramatic change?

    Possibly can’t confirm where he’s going if it’s a team that was full and is now trying to make a space?
    I still think Bora Red Bull would be great but that’s just cos I like the Specialized xc bikes
