  • Latest hobby is photography, I had a camera for Christmas after not having a camera with interchangeable lenses in decades. I like that it gets me out the house as like nature/landscape/train photography.

    Long standing hobbies are mechanical keyboards and coffee, espresso and pour over.

    Keyboards I have really slowed down my purchases to just two or three new keyboards each year.

    Coffee I have not purchased anything other than beans in a long time, but I still want to upgrade my espresso machine (marax) at some point.



  • Most amateurs have signifcantly more time they can cut by training better and harder than spending thousands or tens of thousands on better components.

    Its a very small list of amateurs who train to the same level as a pro who has a good chance of winning any of the big competitions.

    Stick that under 30s pro on a cheap bike geared the same as a midlife crisis amater 45 year old gear head on an ultra expensive bike and guess who wins?

    If you want to buy wins enter an amateur car racing event, those are mostly reflective of money spent given a base level of talent and training (which costs far more money per hour than training for cycling).
