With COVID 19 Lockdown restrictions slowly easing across the United Kingdom, many of us have been lucky enough to get back out into the real world and enjoy the pleasures of socially distanced riding with friends, visiting different places and even taking part in the occasional race. With that in mind, Simon, Tom and Felix sat down (virtually) to discuss what kind of riding they’ve been doing over the past few weeks. There’s talk of comfortable cruises out of the city for overnight escapes, trips to the mountains of France and about how, despite having all the kit, Simon just can’t seem to take a win at the local mid-week time trial series.
