When you're fat and slow and spend most of your life in front of a computer gossiping about cycling or having a bit of a "coffee talk" over the truing stand - this is the part of the year that makes you salivate.
I am putting together some new deals for the next season. It's fun. I have been on this scene enough though to know how to do it without ruffling feathers. THAT's what makes it fun and challenging.
