I know I'm trying to improve on this! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Is positioning really the problem? I mean, if you can surf from 15th and be in the sprint for the podium, it's not. It's something else. Something that your brain co...

This was a great conversation that I had with a friend who is no longer single; time gets a bit tighter, but with communication and some planning, and a bit of extra hustle, you can still be super fast.  Don't give up on cycling because other things come up in your life.  Brendan@EVOQ.BIKE

Ok not my most streamlined post. Lol. Brendan@evoq.bike.

Caught up with podcast guest @_YAMES aka James via email after the race. Chatted on some details regarding the breakaway formation.
