I just wondered what people in the group do apart from intravenous Lemsip and the like. Do you cut back on calories or even increase them? I’ve been in a really good spot recently training and nutrition wise and want to get back asap and in good shape.

Any goals for this coming week? Little bit sickened after the Liverpool v Man City match yesterday. Not sure if any of the American crew would feel passionately about a Super Bowl Result or something - halftime show looked so bad from what I saw 💩 Possibly might consider an outdoor ride later this week. I’m on track to getting back outside the way things are going. TBC anyways. Otherwise I just want to continue enjoying feeling much better than I have been. Can’t complain anyways 🤓 Also I have tonnes of messages to reply to. If something isn’t essential then I’ll take longer to reply. Have to finish uploading training today. But I’ve seen all of the important ones that need replying to straight away.

What was the biggest win you had this week? I’m still rehabbing a shoulder injury. The temptation is to chill on everything but I’m staying focused on diet and controlling what I can control.

Given that I spend a fair portion of the year on studded tyres and in sub zero temperatures, I thought I’d start a little thread on people’s favourite tips and tricks for cold weather rides. Here’s a few of my favourite things: Barmitts - neoprene sleeves to go over your handlebars to keep your hands warm. I only need thin gloves inside these unless it gets down to about -10 as it did this morning; neoprene overshoes and winter boots (I even have some heated insoles for heavy subzero days; clothing wise I’ve found that the availability of clothing using polartec has been a game changer in terms of warmth. Feel free to post any tips, ideas or ask any questions.

I'd a chance to sit down face to face with bling in Monaco. One of my favourite podcast conversations. This was the type of conversation i dreamt about when I started the podcast. Feels a little surreal to see it coming into reality. Hope you enjoy it 🙏
