Hey @shimceltic ,
Did you leave an Amazon review of the new Caimh McDonnel book?

No..... Why?

 

[Randyberlin]

No..... Why?

I saw a review signed by Seamus. It is a really funny detective series that takes place in Dublin. If you're a reader you should try them. If you start on them the first one is" a man with one of those faces"

 

[shimceltic]

Cheers for the recommendation, just reading the latest Don Winslow

Gents don't start down the book recommendation route. I've got about 40 indoors that I bought and not yet got to.

With Kindle unlimited and book bub it only gets worse.

I've got a kindle catalogue growing, probably buy 5 books per 1 read!

I've tried tablet readers and just can't get on with them. I like the tactile feel of turning paper pages

Not to go too far down this non bike path but I have a wall of real books I ignore because the Kindle is too convenient. A huge plus on those Caimh McDonnell books is the definition of the Irish terms at a touch on the word.
To bring it back to bicycling getting way way out of print books from the first generation of cyclists ( for free)would be impossible even with Abebooks.com.

The only real books I have are recipe books!

Hey I cycle weakly!

 

[Brusgaard]

Didn't have to, I was on the Neo tonight. Will do it again on the Pro some day just to see the time difference.

Not many riders on the platform at the 6 PM schedule. I think more than 25 took part at the 4 PM one, so I will probably aim for that one next time again.

Did it again today @shimceltic on the Bkool Pro, new time 41:10.

 

[shimceltic]

Yeah I just noticed. Well done!

Just need bored man and Randolph to have a go now

I was thinking about that Canadian ride you just did. I did in in real life in 2010. Long before Strava.
