Had 2 of the things that frustrate me most about modern cycling in 1 race: the overwhelming favourite heading off up the road and the worst instance of group 2 syndrome I've seen in a while.

Surprised at the lack of traffic here today. The E3 was always a top chipper on BikeRadar.

I'm wondering if there was any pro cycling here before we came over - this area is like a BR refugee camp.

Quiet afternoon at the desk, cycling on in the background while finishing off the week's jobs. I barely know what day of the week it is now.
