Finished "The Midlife Cyclist" by @midlifecyclist.bsky.social. I'm past "midlife" but it was only published 4-yrs ago. Still, it contains valuable info that will keep me riding for decades to come. If you are 40+ and ride, read this book. If you 50+, consider it in combi w/Joe Friel's"Fast After 50"

Coming soon. Cycle Stortford needs you (to participate in the East Herts LCWIP) on Saturday 4th October. More details to follow.

Cycling cool

The next East Herts #LCWIP public consultation is due to start on 25th September and run for 6 weeks until 5th November.

Yep we are going to have exactly the same on Rye St in Bishop’s Stortford because Herts CC decided they knew best and put crossing in wrong place! @cyclestortford.bsky.social
