THE IMPRESSIVE FOURTH-GEN

SuperSix EVO HI-MOD models start at £8,250, so this new carbon frame provides a more affordable option. While the HI-MOD has an astonishingly light 770g frame (fully painted and hardware fitted, 56cm) this frame's not too much weightier, at 930g. The EVO 3 is made using a more economic carbon, but visually and design wise they are identical.

That means you'll still find all the clever details of the EVO design. Up front, for instance, is the Delta fork steerer and head-tube design. This new triangular-shaped steerer has allowed Cannondale to greatly reduce the head-tube sizing while still allowing for fully integrated cable routing.

On the more expensive models, that means Cannondale's own one-piece cockpit, but here you get Cannondale's Conceal ONE stem and Vision's brilliantly shaped Trimax aero road bar. This fully conceals the brake hose routing front and rear for a clean look that also improves the aerodynamics.

GANARY A COALMINE

The James Brown tune 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World' comes on the radio, filling the coach, and does nothing for my pre-event nerves as I sit surrounded by serious-looking, wiry, tanned men in Lycra. It's 6.30am, pitch black outside and I'm feeling very out of my depth as a relative newcomer to the world of clipless pedals and hurting for fun. Last night's stress dream involved being very unprepared to get married and being handed my great-grandmother-in-law-to-be's hideous silver dress with lace trim to wear minutes before the ceremony was due to start. I'll let you psychoanalyse that one.

Air Apparent - Pollution hasn't gone away. It's still there in every lungful, even if we can't see it in the air or on the news. But there are reasons to breathe easier, thanks to pioneering projects using cycling 'citizen scientists'. Rob Ainsley took part in one...

The toxic effects of pollution have been known about for years. 'Just two things of which you must beware: Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air!' sang 1960s satirist Tom Lehrer.Over recent decades, though, pollution has dropped down our list of things to worry about, thanks to ominously capitalised concerns such as Climate Change, AI, Global Conflict, Species Collapse, etc. That doesn't, unfortunately, mean the problem has expired. Air quality often exceeds safe limits, with far-reaching and crippling effects on our health.
