Don't just flick on past this. It's not an advert. It's more important than that.

The response to our appeal for support as we build towards next summer's launch of NSF Live in France has far exceeded our expectations, but we want to go further. Listen, tens of

thousands of you have already shown your support by signing up entirely for free, simply to receive

news of the NSF team, Lizzie included, as we put our plans in place. But we think, in fact, we

know that there are many, many more of you out there.

So please, if you haven't already done so, just pop your email address into the homepage of the NeverStra's file website.

Post it in your cycling friends and family WhatsApp groups.

You do that, and we promise we'll be there to bring you the words entirely for free next summer.
