Like buses, you wait ages for a CHPT3, and then two come along at once! thanks @franmillar for these beauties!

The past year has seen me have a renaissance, in the truest sense… I won’t go into details now but will at some point before long. What has brought so much happiness to my life and those around me this past year has been my falling back in love with sport. Cycling has, and always will be, my number one. Yet I’d forgotten that I simply love sport, not for results but for the sheer joy of doing it, I’d completely forgotten that the health of my mind is intrinsically connected to the health of my body. I’ve rediscovered the love I had for sport that existed before the world of professional cycling took over in the way it did. I’ve been pushing myself and trying new things this past year, indifferent to the results, just out having fun and at times going deeper than I thought I was capable of anymore. Last week I got on a TT bike for the first time in a decade, @FactorBikes built me a bike, I’ve been looking at it for two years and decided it was time to get fitted, getting back on it felt like going home. Anyway, the long and the short of this is that it’s inspired me to create a club to inspire and be inspired. A community for us to share our love for getting out there and doing it, because I’ve realized that although I spend most of my sporting life on my own I derive the most pleasure when feeling part of something. It’s in its early days, I’ve called it Sporting Club CHPT3 aka SCC3, I’d love you to check it out and join. It’s still in its infancy, but I hope it’s going to grow into something that will inspire you as much as me. chpt3.com/pages/sporting-clu…

You’re never too busy to show kindness to a child. When this preschooler showed up for a race (on his pedal-less strider bike) at the local BMX park, his family discovered that he was the only one in his age group to attend. A group of teenagers there to compete in their own age bracket provided some “competition.” And, would you believe it… the little guy won. Be like these kids. Such goodness on display.

It's the Cantabrian coast and Asturian mountains for La Vuelta today with San Vicente de la Barquera and La Hermida the highlights; Torrelevega sits 20kms into the stage - David Millar won a stage there in 2001...

Aaron won the pod today. ⁦@neverstraysfar⁩
