Re: What are you reading now?

Currently reading Columbia Es Pasion by Matt Rendell, the story of Colombian pro cyclists with a bit of a history of that country too.

Just saw BeSpoked is going to Manchester in June ‘24

Always fancied it but never fancied Bristol or London for a day out

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep one of those days free to see it :-bd
