A brief note to say this blog will be taking a break for the next three weeks and there will be no coverage of the World Championships, or much else, until the end of the month.
In recent years, flying away for a couple of weeks spent without internet access has coincided with the end of the season. This allowed for various retrospective pieces such as highlights of the year to be cued up for automatic publication on the site but this year earlier travel plans and the later slot for the Worlds clash.
Now it feels too early to do a look back at the season and the lack of internet and leaving the laptop behind means not much is going to be added to this site either about contemporary issues like the Worlds, or the still ongoing saga of Bradley Wiggins, Team Sky, packages and TUEs.
If anyone has any tips for pedalo technique please share them below. Back in November.
Enjoy your well earned break
You mean your pedalo isn’t fitted with a power meter!?
All the best Inrng, thanks for all your work and take care.
Have a wonderful, well earned break. Many thanks for another season’s balanced and informed insight.
Bon Voyage Inrng! Thanks so much for the insightful and entertaining reading this season! You should really do this for a living. ; )
Is it possible to fit a Q Ring to a pedalo? Enjoy the break, Inrng.
Thanks for your insight over the year, looking forward to reading what you get to thinking about when you are back and publishing.
Thanks for another great season! Enjoy your well earned break!
Inner ring boycotting worlds to support the boycotting team owners? I’m sure you’ll still top CQ’s rankings for cycling webpages.
Have a nice holiday. Taking the bike?
Thanks for the season!
Thanks for the sterling work as always this season, hope you have a great break.
Doubt you’ll miss much as the worlds will probably get reduced to a 100km crit race because of the heat which will be great news for Caleb Ewan.
Enjoy your holiday.
Going off on holiday? Do people still do that? 🙂
Thanks for a vintage season, enjoy the offseason!
enjoy the well deserved time off
Lazy.
enjoy pedaling
Enjoy your “offy”. Another vintage year. Thanks.
Buon divertimento!
The man pictured in the cockpit is actually the real INRNG.
🙂
Enjoy your break. Why not just have a motor fitted. 🙂
Enjoy the break and thanks for all the coverage this season.
Thank you for another season of great insight, thoughtful analysis, and just plain great writing!
+1. Enjoy the break.
Thanks for the great coverage in the season. Enjoying your well earned break.
(was wondering the story behind the title picture though)
Have a great holliers and thanks for the marvellous stuff this season.
Another fantastic season of unrivalled coverage.
Thank you for all you do Signore Ring, it is very appreciated even if you do occasionally have to taser idiots like me and zap our posts.
First time for me saying this, but can’t wait for November! Have a nice one and thanks for the coverage so far.
Enjoy your well deserved break and thanks for your efforts!
Enjoy and thanks
Another add to all those posters wishing you a well deserved break. Best blog anywhere.
enjoy – as we are enjoing your blog, one of the best out there.
I orginally found it through your “Roads to ride” articles
Love the pic. Enjoy your holiday.
Hope you have a fantastic break, Innrg, Thanks, once again, for all of you effort & insight this year.
Can’t wait to have you back. Enjoy you time off and remember to bring umbrella drinks for your pedalo sessions.
I would normally frown upon the use of PEDalos. But since you’ll be on holiday you get a Therapeutic Use Exemption.
Choosing to go on holiday before the season is over, now that is class.
…enjoy the freedom and take care.
Rarely have I seen a finer example of a shellsuit – and I grew up in Dundee.
:)))
Not to mention the coiff.
Enjoy your holiday, inrng, and thank you for one more amazing blog’s content!
Thanks for your continued brilliant insight this season. Roll on 2017!
Enjoy the well-earned rest and recuperation in some idyllic resort.
It’s Rhyl, isn’t it?
Haha, I have a picture just like that of my 6 year old son! Have a great holidays INRNG, good decision to cut yourself off from the internet. My experience with pedalos is that you should certainly get the one with a slide on it.
Sad to see you take a break, but there’s been plenty of TUE banter across all media (necessary break indeed) and WC analysis boils down to heat, wind, and well, yes that’s probably it…Enjoy vacation!
Happy holiday! Hopefully plenty of riding Roads to Ride in your short-term future.

“Gimme the people, free my soul. I wanna get off the rocky road, and drift away….
Thank you for the joy you’ve given me….”
–Drift Away
May the wind be at your back and the sun smile upon you!
If your wanting Pedalo techniques, then Andrew Flintoff is your man.
Have a great time. In my limited experience of pedalos it is vital to have a balanced fore and aft weight distribution…
Thanks for a great year of very interesting pieces. This is a well deserved break! I hope you have a restful time.
You have a TUE ?
Thank you for another season of great writing and insightful comment. Enjoy your well-earned break. I know many have suggested this before, but if there was a donate button, I would happily buy you an end-of-season beverage of your choice for enhancing my enjoyment and increasing my knowledge of the sport we all love.
You’re the man Inner Ring. Whilst sipping your daiquiri rest assured there are thousands of us wishing rest and an energetic return. Bon vacance.
Thx for another insightful season INRNG!
Best wishes, and thanks for all the content you provide, look forward to your return.
Enjoy the R+R…its been a great year for roadies, made greater by your contributions.
These Worlds do not do justice to the year, and good time to get away…
Bonnes vacances, monsieur Ring.
Highly recommend a fat bike desert camping tour
Thank you inrng for a wonderful season’s blogs.
Pédalo technique? Dark sunglasses, skin suit, Pina Colada in one hand, loved one by your side, cadence below 20..
