For me, it's riding to get a haircut or give blood, and afterwards, leaving a Turin-shroud Imprint of Shame on the chair. The haircut situation is exacerbated by the sweating-tent, and the blood situation by the employment of needles. Enjoy your upcoming cycling weeks, and I'll look forward to the occasional Cycling Week.

Happy new year, and new writing whatever form it takes. Cycling Week has been a joy and I could say an inspiration but in truth I have got on my bike only twice in the last six months and both trips were to see the piglets down the road at the free range pig farm, a journey of approx 3km return.

I came to cycling week late but have enjoyed the few weeks I have been receiving your posts, and will miss it. I look forward to whatever is next though.

Happy writing occasional sentences. But you will be doing marvels for others' work, for sure. Willy is a genius, thank god you've discovered him. So, which Delines or Richmond Fontaine albums did you buy yourself for Christmas? And which is your favourite?

Sad to hear cycling week is finishing up! It’s been a brilliant read, thank you. You’re more than welcome to take my midnight special for a wee spin if we somehow cross paths (this seems unlikely, but worth mentioning).
