Winter is well and truly here and whilst we've got to pick & choose your times for a ride, there's still loads going on. See for yourself...

The snow has always been Baybutt's first love and this short film from snow-surfers Kuora Shapes has got him well and truly amped for a trip to the mountains. Classy filming, fun riding and some synthy Euro-pop for a soundtrack. Perfect. Yearning For Turning Vol IX - Homecoming
In the world of ultra-endurance bike-packing, Lael Wilcox is as close to a household name as they come. 2019 saw her attempt to become the fastest finisher overall but you'll have to watch the film to see the whole story.

Save for the boss who swerves any form of lactose, the rest of us are fiends for a proper Yorkshire pudding. Hannah's grandma says to half the milk and swap it for water, Baybutt says don't forget to season well and Will implores you get the oil scaldingly hot. They're trivially easy to make so start with this recipe, modify away and let us know how you get on. BBC Good Food - Best Yorkshires.
Newsletters recommending newsletters; whatever next? Our friends at Hunt Wheels have an awesome blog. If you're into slightly longer legged rides then their stories will be right up your street: like how to set up Dynamos, road trips and a bit of CX in the mix.

On Saturday January 18th we'll be hosting our annual Beat the Winter Blues ride. You should have received the email already but for details and tickets click here. It's snowed on every one of the 3 rides so far; you'd do well to prepare for that, but the first round in the pub is on us so it's not all bad. Limited spaces, unlimited laughs.

Lastly we've still got a few ex-demo bikes, some pairs of wheels and other bits that need to go, and can be yours before Christmas if you're quick about it. Click here to take you to the Warehouse Specials page.
We hope you've enjoyed reading Transmission as much as we love putting them together. As ever, if you have a suggestion or would like to see something included, do drop us a line, anytime.

Look after yourselves, from all at Cotic,
