Hello,
Welcome to the N+1 Newsletter. Itās all systems go in Girona for me. Iām training for my first races after a little illness over the holidays and also trying to put together a group of sponsors to allow me to race a Gravel calendar too.
Itās funny, this is my first year in what seems like forever that I donāt have my full year planned out in front of me. Iām building my own calendar, trying to put my own sponsor portfolio together. Itās both scary and exciting.
What are your New Yearās Resolutions for 2023?
Joe
Feel free to emailĀ meĀ at joe@nplus1.cc if you have any questions, or feel Iāve missed something that is worth putting in the Newsletter.
