    Hey Boomer, love it, except… too many hills too early for me. I must pass (Besides, I must feed my wife and make my cat her coffee). But interested in whatever ride you do next!

    Here is the Strava link to the approximate route (~30 miles), but I will shorten it for today as my legs are shot from completing the Rapha Festive500.

    I spotted a FS tag in the wild on my way home and it turned out to be Chris (insert forum @handle)!

    The coffee club crew that showed up in my driveway, 5 hours late for the Hillz ride, after #beerneuring, to wish me and my son a happy new year. This is why I love [emoji3590] Freezing Saddles!!!
