Garmin Epix (Gen 2) review - superb functionality, brilliant display, changed my life https://t.co/zbiwYb2aG0 It even made me do Dry January.

All of the features of the top Fenix and Forerunner watches but with an enhanced AMOLED display - which makes it more expensive, but it's worth it

Amazing to have a flat white made for me by @chrishoy at the @EroicaBritannia preview ride yesterday. I am looking forward to finding out what catering duties will be assigned to Giuseppe Saronni and Mandy Jones in August.

Good innings. Here’s the worm going in on October 19 2019 near Trawsfynydd.
After 3 1/2 years and at least 12k miles on the front wheel, time to retire this @schwalbe G-One Speed. As usual when removing a tubeless tyre, several thorns found on the inside. The tyre also has a couple of tyre worms, one inserted when the tyre was taking @simonsmythe on tour
