Sachets at road races? They suck.
Excess. It’s everywhere. We’re surrounded by it every hour of every day. And I’m not referring to the obscene excesses of capitalism – those are enormous in their own right, and not something I wish to touch on in this blog post. The excess I’m talking about is...

Let the sharing begin!
