It's that time of year again. Summer has faded, the Black Friday bonanza has been and gone, the Christmas music is blaring (it has been since mid-November, don't email me), and it's the point in the year when we get to reflect back on our year of riding, racing and reviewing all the tech that the bike industry has to offer.
For me, 2023 has been a quiet year of on-bike achievement. It's been fairly busy here at work, especially in the first half of the year which saw me heading overseas at least once per month between February and August. Combine that with a new puppy taking up a lot of my spare time and a wedding on the horizon to save up for, I've not managed much-structured training, racing, or any really big rides this year.
