Road cycling season opener in chilly winds but gloriously sunny weather 😎
Not entirely surprised to discover all my cycling gear has shrunk while in storage over winter. 😖 Particularly around the midriff 😄
Feels pretty great to be out on an effortlessly rolling bike, though. Here's to hoping for a spring, summer and autumn of great cycling 😊
As a mountain biker, you take risks but you're in control of your risks. In road racing it's so much about positioning and the risk is completely out of your control. You put yourself in a position in the peloton and hope for the best, that nobody in front of you crashes. That took quite a lot of mental work for me to overcome.

#cycling in the Pro peloton and mental work
We read a lot about positioning in terms of competitiveness too, even WvA struggling lately after all his crashes and injuries, riders expending a lot of energy on this matter that would miss in the end

I've been a still photographer for decades, but have never had any affinity for video. 1000s of pictures of our kids, almost no videos. But we just bought an Insta360 camera to capture #cycling rides, #kayaking, #hiking, etc., and I'm really enjoying it. Still working out how to edit to make it interesting to others, but I really enjoy looking at my favorite routes after I've done them.
