For most people, the start of summer is a time of joy, the next couple of months holding a promise of sunshine, laughter and games. Even if the Indoor Rowing News didn't have an allergic reaction to men wearing shorts, we'd still rate it as our most hateful season simply on the grounds that nothing ever happens of an indoor rowing nature around about now. This newsletter's a bit on the short side, so we're going to make up for it with a bumper Summer Special next time around. Unless you want 2,000 words discussing the latest reality TV programming news, please, for your sake as much as ours, send in as many articles or ideas for articles that you can think off to [email protected]. Even if we don't use it next time, we want as much material as possible so that we can store it away like a squirrel hiding nuts in the winter. Except this will be in the summer. So maybe like a polar bear storing mints or something. Not quite sure.
