A cyclist forum focused on Marin Bikes.
The last month has come and gone in a flash while getting lost in not knowing the date or day of the week. In the thick fog of losing track of time every discernible moment during a race I can replay like dominos falling. If I’ve forgotten one moment during a race I’ll recall another [...]
