Drove from Burnley to Preston store today for advice to buy a gravel bike. Zero staff in store to assist and couldn't even sit on one I'd picked out. I was ready to hand over ยฃ1500 and a wasted journey. I will be heading to an independent retailer instead. @EvansCycles
@WhittakerClaire@kkir I โค๏ธ my monthly book subscription which is like a surprise present and the others are technically work. Book shopping is only therapeutic when it involves a few hours in Waterstones with a coffee and cake stop to ponder. The majority of my purchases are insta/amazon/click
I was proudly declaring to my husband yesterday that I've not bought any books for ages as I've got everything I needed from the local library. Today, 2 parcels and 5 books turned up whilst I was at work. Obviously, these don't count.
There have been a lot of big names who have finished Western States over the years. And these eight elite ultrarunners have never run it as fast as one woman ran it yesterday.
Go Courtney.

@WhittakerClaire@Rachel_Mellor_ Can fit a cossie, micro towel, cap and goggles in my waist pack with full fell kit. Also take an extra layer in case I get a chill in the water. Dry socks nice too.
