Fem Van Empel leaving cycling (indefinitely) is my first big heartbreak since I really got into watching the sport. I hope she gets all the support she needs, competing at her level must put so much pressure on your MH.

Oh my word, it is truly terrible. Ineos Grenadiers warned us with the teaser and then the leaked image of the training ride came out and, well, it is poor to say the least.
What do you think to this new look? The dirty or off white shorts really are what makes this so poor, for me.

I eat meat, and so I feel like I should educate myself on how it is butchered, hunted, farmed, and made into the food I eat. To The Bone is one of my favourite Substacks for this--it's so informative but Hank is so methodical and heartfelt too. tothebone.substack.com/p/grinding-a...
Grinding and the Grind
I stared at the two huge bags of wild pork, bits and trim and half roasts and a piece of loin that hadn’t gotten shot up.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
