would guess the price of beef is going to go up soon in colombia. i’ve never seen this country look so brown. all the grass is down here dead now. wildfire alerts all over the country. paramo bérlin has burnt

there were at least five of us out there on the road today, so plenty of examing each others bikes and swapping tips

We are living in times of exceptional talents. Mathieu van der Poel is perfection on a bike this season. Wout van Aert, Tadej Pogačar and Tom Pidcock are in the same category of rider.

I think it’s the best time to be a cycling fan and I am loving it. I don’t think we will see so many world class talents again at the same time in our lifetime.

Today’s Superprestige cyclo-cross in in one word:

Mud.

(It was great.)

benfinch, to cycling

rides without a route are great! especially when you discover that there’s a 20% hill in your way. there seems to be lots more of those in costa rica than elsewhere… for some reason they’ve built straight up. i’m also wondering about the palm forest. is it farmed or is it so regular because it’s newly planted in the past 40 years?

It’s time for round one of the cyclo-cross race series in .

I was there last year when the race was part of the World Cup series. The racing was great. The speed carried by the riders through the wet and muddy woods was so impressive.

The beer tent was not quite so impressive!

I’m starting to get prepared for the three weeks of the . I’m surprised at how unusual the route is this year. The grande boucle, or great loop, is nowhere to be seen.

Can't believe this worked, but I made Bennie look like this today, to make me feel better. It helped.

I also had a good courier shift. Easy on the amount of deliveries and sunny weather. Worth a smile on the way back home.

I feel slightly better now. Tomorrow a check up at the vet for Ben, so 🤞🏻 everything looks okay. That would also help ease my mind for a bit.
